Who Wins
- You win most trades pre-6 through W sustain and Q poke, forcing Yone to respect your healing advantage.
- Post-6 becomes more volatile as Yone's R can bypass your defenses, but your R provides strong counter-engage potential.
How to Trade
- You want to land Q then immediately W to heal back any return damage while the blood pool damages Yone.
- Look for opportunities to E onto Yone when he uses Q3 aggressively, as this commits him to a longer trade you can win.
Wave Control
- You should maintain slow pushes to keep minions available for W sustain while denying Yone's freeze attempts.
- Avoid hard shoving unless you can roam, as this gives Yone free recall timings and removes your sustain source.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You cannot afford to waste E on minions or use it predictably, as Yone can easily punish with E-Q3 combo when your gap closer is down.
- Never engage with R when Yone has E available, as he can simply return to safety and negate your ultimate's damage.
