Guide to Countering Brand as Yasuo

Tips for Playing as Yasuo against Brand

Last Breath can be cast on any target that is knocked Airborne, even by one of your allies.

Dash through a minion to have Sweeping Blade available to chase your opponent should they flee; Dash directly to your opponent to preserve a minion as your escape route.

At level 18, Yasuo's Steel Tempest reaches its Attack Speed cap with 55% Attack Speed from items.

Advice to Win Against Brand

Brand's passive allows him to excel against teams that cluster together. Be sure to split up against him.

Brand must land an ability before his combo is able to get started. Dodging his Sear or Pillar of Flame will disrupt his rhythm.

Try to move away from allies when you see Pyroclasm being cast. The initial missile speed is slow, which should give your team time to react.
