Who Wins
- You win early trades pre-6 through levels 1-3 with your Q combo and shield, but Yone scales better into the all-in at level 6.
- Post-6, Yone wins extended fights with his R engage and sustain, while you need to rely on short burst trades and disengaging.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is Q1-Q2-auto-W-Q3 for quick burst, then E away to avoid Yone's extended trade with his Q3 and W shield.
- Never commit to long trades where Yone can stack his Q and use W sustain effectively.
Wave Control
- Push early waves to establish level advantages and roam timing, but be careful of overextending without vision since Yone can run you down with R.
- Maintain wave control around levels 3-5 to deny Yone farm and experience before his power spike.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your E defensively too early in trades, as Yone will chase you down with his mobility and you'll have no escape.
- Avoid fighting in extended trades post-6 where Yone's sustain and DPS will outscale your burst damage.
