Read from Qiyana's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yone.
This is Qiyana's own plan; across 3,650 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Qiyana | Level 1 favours you because your ranged E-Q and Royal Privilege proc beat Yone's melee autos before his Q stacks come online. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays yours as the extra ability lets you E-Q trade and back off while his only answer is a slow-winding third Q. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | At level 3 your E-Q-E burst pattern out-damages any Yone short trade before he can chain a full Spirit Cleave. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through levels 4-5 you keep kill pressure with E resets and superior poke while his knockup remains his only opening. |
| Level 6 | Yone | Level 6 flips to Yone: R Fate Sealed plus the Soul Unbound recall out-commits your all-in and lets him escape on safe HP. |
| First item | Even / skill | At first item your completed first item and wall-stun combo reopen the burst window and out-tempo his early item power. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Into 2+ items you are the stronger flanking assassin, deleting his carry with a wall-pinned R before he can commit his own. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: your E-Q poke and Royal Privilege proc beat Yone's melee auto trades before he has his third Q stack online. Attune an element immediately, walk up as his Mortal Steel windup animates, and tag him with a Q on the minion line or a quick E-in-E-out that he cannot answer without burning W. Keep the wave neutral so he can never freeze and deny you the range advantage.

Start Doran's Blade + Health Potion and back for Serrated Dirk (≈1100g) — strings start chunking. Build Eclipse / Profane Hydra first, then Serylda's path, with Ionian Lucidity.
