He is highly skilled in the art of stealth combat, able to evade the eyes of his enemies and reappear when they least expect him.

Steel Tempest is very narrow. Dodge laterally if possible.
Yasuo is at his weakest just after he has launched a whirlwind. Engage at that point.
Yasuo's shield from Resolve lasts only 2 seconds. Dealing damage to him will trigger it. Wait it out, then engage.
When Yasuo lands two Steel Tempests in a row, his next will fire a tornado. Watch and listen for the associated sound to prepare to dodge.
