How to win lane as Azir against Yone · 46.23% win rate over 1,168 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yone | Yone's early stats and passive crit stacking beat Azir's soft, low-range poke, so you lose the trading window |
| Level 2 | Yone | His E-Q all-in dash punishes any Azir soldier setup before level 6, keeping the lane on his terms |
| Level 3 | Yone | Same story at level 5 — no ultimate yet means no answer to his in-your-face dash-knockup combo |
| Levels 4-5 | Yone | Still his window: he's one level from getting outscaled but his all-in remains live and dangerous |
| Level 6 | Azir | Azir's ultimate wall arrives and can block or punish his engage, flipping the all-in math to your favor |
| First item | Azir | Your first completed item spikes your poke and clear well past what Yone can punish |
| Two+ items | Azir | With items and your ultimate up, your teamfight and zone control out-scale his dive-heavy kit |
Levels 1-2 are rough — Yone's Q spam and E-in threat force you to play passively and you can't out-damage him in a straight trade; hug your soldiers and don't overextend. It only gets worse levels 3-5 as his knockup dash punishes any greedy cast animation, and his passive crit stacks add up fast if you tunnel farming instead of watching his cooldowns.
