How to win lane as Ahri against Yone · 53.14% win rate over 7,303 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Yone's double-Q poke range and dash disengage beat your melee-range Orb trades before either has abilities maxed, but the exchange stays close enough to call a skill matchup this early |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Both champs are limited to short pokes and neither can force a clean trade without overextending, so trades even out |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Wave states and cooldown timers matter more than raw kit power here, keeping the lane a stalemate of farming |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Neither side has a reliable kill window yet — it's about who plays the CS/poke pattern more cleanly |
| Level 6 | Yone | Yone's ult creates a pick threat the instant you commit Charm, giving him the stronger all-in window at 6 |
| First item | Yone | Yone can chain Q2-E-ult into a full burst combo that outpaces your damage before your first item lands |
| Two+ items | Ahri | Once your first burst item completes your combo now kills him before his shield or ult windup matters, flipping the matchup to you |
Yone's kit is built to poke from range and disengage before you can punish, and his double Q lets him harass through minions, but your own poke (Orb of Deception, Fox-Fire) trades evenly if you don't overextend into his double-cast range. Play patient, hold Charm for when he overextends chasing CS, and don't waste Orb of Deception into minions when he's not in range — you need mana for trades that matter.
