Early game (levels 1–5)

Levels 1-2 are yours outright — Yone has no ranged tool to fight your Q Twin Drift poke, so every time he pushes to farm you punish him with Q+E and back off before his Q3 dash can land. He's forced into passive last-hitting through your zone, which costs him CS and tempo he badly needs pre-6.
