Runes
Quick Tips
All phases
- •Q before every E. Using E extends Q duration and keeps the rock alive for a second cast.
- •Q W auto auto ult is your max DPS combo. Autoing twice before ult adds a full Q stack cycle.
- •HP is your damage. Heartsteel is mandatory. The tankier you are the harder you hit.
- •Play for your carry, not for kills. Scarnner getting 300 gold means nothing. Yasuo surviving does.

Early Game
Before 1st item
- •Full clear or three camp into gank. Both work. Flexibility is this champion's biggest strength.
- •Flank behind the enemy before using E. Landing the slam without setup means missing the gank.
- •Greed camps after a gank only if objectives are not contested. Scuttles give too much XP to skip.
- •Ensure to protect and play around your strongest teammate. Path to lane who have high % to carry.
First Back
Regular full clear & crab
Core Build Examples
Default
Snowballing
vs heavy AP
vs heavy AD
Mid Game
1-3 items
- •When in river, look for a play before going back to camps. Missing that window wastes more time.
- •Contest objectives as a tank. Trading farm for safety in the mid game is the wrong mindset.
- •When enemy jungler is spotted top, take their bot camps. No jungle means free real estate.
- •Heartsteel and Grasp stack HP through fights. Mid game skirmishes are how you scale this champion.

Late Game
4+ items
- •Stop chasing farm late. Your team is fighting. Be there and be the frontline they need.
- •If your lanes are winning, park near objectives and wait. Do not spread thin and miss the window.
- •Ult into a wall slam then W for full combo. Without the wall, your ult damage drops off hard.
- •Peel for your carries, do not chase their tank. Can also play front to back.
