How to win lane as Yone against Vex · 43.43% win rate over 2,436 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yone | Level 1 favors Yone — even with Vex's anti-dash passive, Yone controls melee range with autos and Q poke. |
| Level 2 | Yone | Level 2 stays Yone's — W shield lets him absorb Vex's poke and trade back on even terms. |
| Level 3 | Yone | Level 3 favors Yone — E gives an all-in once Vex's interrupt is baited, which she can't always hold. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yone | Levels 4-5 are Yone's — Vex's long cooldowns leave repeated windows for Yone to trade and win. |
| Level 6 | Yone | Level 6 favors Yone in the 1v1 — R and crit out-damage Vex before her ult can reset. |
| First item | Yone | First-item timing is Yone's — a crit spike bursts squishy Vex once her fear is on cooldown. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Late game favors Yone — R dive plus E safety beat Vex's cooldown-dependent pick potential in extended fights. |
Vex is a lane bully against dashers because her passive interrupts and marks any dash, which threatens Yone's E and Q3. The counterplay is patience: bait her Gloom-empowered ability or her fear with a feint, then trade with autos and Q while it's down. Don't throw E into a fresh Gloom mark.
