| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 trades are a genuine coinflip since neither champion has full combo access yet, so this phase is Skill. |
| Level 2 | Yone | Yone's early dash-ins and Level 2 all-in threat outpace your still-incomplete kit, giving him this phase. |
| Level 3 | Galio | Once your full combo (Q-W-E) is online you out-trade his flat melee patterns, giving you this phase. |
| Levels 4-5 | Galio | Your knockup-stun combo continues to win extended trades before he reaches crit item spikes, keeping this phase yours. |
| Level 6 | Galio | Hero's Entrance lets you flip his over-extended Level 6 all-ins into your own engage, keeping this phase yours. |
| First item | Yone | His crit-lifesteal item spike out-damages your scaling in 1v1s, giving him this phase. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Fully scaled Yone out-duels your tank kit in side fights, giving him the late-game phase. |
Level 1-2 is a coinflip: Yone's E dash-in can catch you before you have Q/W/E all up, and his Level 2 all-in with an early point in Q punishes any greedy trade. From Level 3 onward you out-scale the skirmish — Winds of War knocks him up if he tries to walk through minions, and Shield of Durand plus Justice Punch lets you win extended trades he can't escape from without flashing his E away.
