How to Beat Yasuo as Gangplank (Top)

The Gangplank versus Yasuo matchup in the top lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

Except for rare builds, Gangplank deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Yasuo deals mainly physical damage (87.19%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Yasuo, ranking 1st (versus 27th for Gangplank) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.5 versus 2.1) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Gangplank Top versus Yasuo Top matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Gangplank player to maintain constant pressure on Yasuo, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

    Gangplank tips:

    • Parrrley applies On Hit effects like Frozen Mallet or Black Cleaver.
    • Paying attention to low-health enemies on the map can land you a surprise kill with Cannon Barrage.
    • Try placing Cannon Barrage on the path of escape to cut off fleeing enemies.

    Playing Against Yasuo

    • Steel Tempest is very narrow. Dodge laterally if possible.
    • 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.
    • 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.
