Who Wins
- Pre-6: You win through superior range and poke, but must respect his level 2-3 all-in potential if he lands E through minions.
- Post-6: You lose all-ins if he lands E or R engage, but can win if you maintain distance and land E to interrupt his combos.
How to Trade
- Poke with Q when he goes for CS, and use W-E combo when he's locked in animation or dashes predictably.
- Save E for when he commits with E dash, as landing the knockup into full combo is your main kill threat.
Wave Control
- Maintain distance and use Q to push waves while poking, avoiding hard shoves that put you in dangerous positions.
- Keep the wave in the middle or slightly pushed to maintain escape routes and poke angles.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E on poke or wave clear when Yone has E available, as you need it to interrupt his engage.
- Avoid face-checking bushes or fighting without vision, as his R engage range can catch you from unexpected angles.
