How to beat Yone as Fizz: the early game

Level 1 you have the edge with Urchin Strike and no-collision positioning that dodges his first two Mortal Steel thrusts. Soul Unbound is not an escape — his spirit is forced back to the body when it ends — so it is a commitment you can punish rather than something he flashes out with. Trade with Q then back off, and watch the second Mortal Steel stack: that is the one that dashes and knocks you up.
