Answer

Ruling: When attacking triggers go onto the chain first, followed by when defending triggers, then the chain resolves backwards.

Sequence:

  • When attacking triggers (like Yasuo's) go onto the chain first
  • When defending triggers (like the retreat ability) go onto the chain second
  • Chain resolves backwards (defending trigger resolves first, then attacking trigger)

Nuances:

  • This means you can retreat the unit before it takes damage from Yasuo
