He survives your burst and owns the brawl — poke round-trips only, chain his gap-closer, and never attend round two.
Track: Yone's E — Soul Unbound (22–10s cooldown). His burst window — survive it and punish the body he snaps back to.
Read from LeBlanc's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yone.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | LeBlanc | At level 1 Yone has Mortal Steel and nothing else — its 450 range cannot reach a Sigil poke from 700, so you control minute one for free |
| Level 2 | LeBlanc | You out-trade his cooldown-locked kit at level 2 with repeatable Q pokes he can't answer without overextending |
| Level 3 | LeBlanc | Bait-and-punish Soul Unbound defines level 3 — it is 22s at rank 1, and it is no dash, so he cannot leave your combo |
| Levels 4-5 | LeBlanc | Your combo damage and mobility edge holds through levels 4-5 as his cooldowns still lag behind your poke frequency |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At level 6 your Mimic-doubled chain kills him before Fate Sealed — 120 seconds at rank 1 — gets a window; it only pulls a target that stood still through its wind-up |
| First item | Yone | First item is Yone's — Mortal Steel's mixed damage plus a crit item out-trades one rotation, and Spirit Cleave's shield (a flat 14s) eats the Sigil opener |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late-game 2+ items your ranged burst wins skirmishes before he closes distance, so long as he hasn't banked a free ult reset |
Levels 1-2 you out-range him completely — Sigil Mark poke into Distortion picks off his last-hits for free since Yone's E has a long cooldown and no reliable answer to ranged chip damage. He has to walk up with basic attacks to farm, which is exactly the window you punish with Q-E combos before backing off. Track Soul Unbound (E): 22s at rank 1, 10s at rank 5 — his spirit leaves the body behind, so survive it and punish the body he snaps back to.
