Why this duo works

Unstoppable Force(R) gives Yasuo a fast, multi-target airborne setup for Last Breath(R). Yasuo can immediately follow the knockup, turning Malphite's engage into a longer teamfight lockdown.

Playing the duo

Unstoppable Force(R) knocks nearby enemies airborne, which lets Yasuo blink to them with Last Breath(R) and hold the group in the air for his follow-up damage.

How to play as Malphite

When Yasuo is in range, look for an Unstoppable Force(R) that hits several enemies and signal the engage so he can follow with Last Breath(R).

How to play as Yasuo

Follow Malphite's Unstoppable Force(R) promptly with Last Breath(R) while multiple targets are airborne; save the combo for a fight where your team can reach the knocked-up group.
