His dash-chains read as a fear donation schedule — pulse the engage, mark the brawl, and never let the fight outlast your gloom.

Read from Vex's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yone.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | You outrange his walk-up melee last-hitting at level 1 with Q. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At level 2 your W already threatens to interrupt any early Q3 attempt. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 E plus passive gives you a fear-and-shred combo he can't match yet. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through 4-5 his dashes trigger your passive interrupt. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 your R dive and execute outrange and out-burst his R engage. |
| First item | Even / skill | With first item your burst combo shreds him before his shield heals it back. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | At two items your fear zone and R pick him apart in every teamfight. |
Yone has no dash at level 1 and takes minion aggro to walk up, so shove the first wave and chip him with Q (Mistral Bolt) whenever he steps to last-hit; you win the point-blank exchanges outright. Track Yone Soul Unbound: matchup-defining, 22s at rank 1 falling to 10 — survive the burst window and punish the body he snaps back to.
