He fights through your slow zone if the root misses — so the root doesn't miss: bank it, bait the dash, then bind.
Track: Yone's E — Soul Unbound (22–10s cooldown). His burst window — survive it and punish the body he snaps back to.
Read from Lux's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yone.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yone | Yone's Q-stack knock-up and W shield beat your immobile level 1 trade. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At 2 his second point (E or Q) gives him a committed all-in you can't kite. |
| Level 3 | Yone | By 3 he has Q3 and E online, a full ghost-dash all-in that outranges your answers. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through 4-5 his E windows and reset Qs let him pick the trade every time. |
| Level 6 | Yone | His R knock-up plus ghost recall at 6 hard-outclasses your linear ultimate. |
| First item | Yone | First item makes his extended-trade sustain and burst too high for you to duel. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Two dashes plus R mean he closes any gap you make even into the item game. |
Yone out-trades you at every early point: his Q builds stacks into a knock-up and his W shields the return damage, so a straight-up level 1-2 poke war favours him. Bind (Q) is your only tool that matters here, so hold it as a defensive check rather than a poke, and last-hit from max range. Never walk up to auto or you eat a Q3-E all-in you cannot answer.
