Who Wins

  • You win pre-6 trades through superior sustain and tankiness, especially after level 2 when you have Q-W combo for guaranteed damage.
  • Post-6 you maintain advantage as Yone's R engage can be countered by your W devour, making his all-ins predictable and punishable.

How to Trade

  • Walk up for Q poke when Yone uses Q on minions, then immediately W him if he tries to trade back since he can't dash away while swallowed.
  • Your best trades happen when you land Q first, as it guarantees W follow-up and chunks him significantly while you take minimal damage.

Wave Control

  • Push early levels to establish lane priority since Yone can't match your waveclear or sustain.
  • Maintain a slow push to build up minion advantage, then crash waves to recall safely or roam, as Yone struggles to break freezes against your sustain.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste W on minions when Yone has E available, as he can engage immediately after and you'll lack your primary defensive tool.
  • Avoid chasing him too far when he uses E, as you're immobile and he can easily kite you out or set up ganks.
