Who Wins
- You lose most pre-6 trades due to Yone's mobility advantage and your reliance on minion deaths for ghoul generation in mid lane's shorter waves.
- Post-6 you gain significant kill pressure if you can land W while Maiden is active, as the combined damage often forces Yone's E return into unfavorable positions.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern requires patience - wait for Yone to use E aggressively, then immediately W to trap him and unleash ghouls plus Q enhanced auto.
- If he E2s back, you've won the trade; if he stays, Maiden damage post-6 often secures kills.
Wave Control
- You need to hard push waves to generate graves consistently, even though this leaves you vulnerable to ganks.
- Mid lane's short waves make ghoul generation difficult, so prioritizing wave clear over freezing is essential for your champion's functionality.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W when Yone has E available, as he can simply E2 back to safety and you've lost your primary engage tool.
- Never chase Yone without ghouls up, as his superior mobility and sustained damage will win extended fights without your minion support.
