Playing the duo

Slicing Maelstrom(R) deals area damage and Kennen's Mark of the Storm(P) stuns after three ability hits, while Last Breath(R) needs an airborne target; Kennen is follow-up control, not Yasuo's knockup setup.

How to play as Kennen

Layer Slicing Maelstrom(R) with Yasuo's tornado or Last Breath(R) so the pair's area damage and stun land while enemies are grouped; do not expect your stun alone to enable his ultimate.

How to play as Yasuo

Build Steel Tempest(Q) to its tornado before entering with Kennen, since his stun does not activate Last Breath(R). Use the airborne window to pull Kennen's area damage into the same fight.
