He runs through dreams that miss — so they don't: bubble the engage lane, Q the sleeper, and never let the gap close awake.
Track: Yone's E — Soul Unbound (22–10s cooldown). His burst window — survive it and punish the body he snaps back to.
Read from Zoe's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yone.
This is Zoe's own plan; across 4,332 pooled games the lane is leaning Zoe.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | At 1 Yone is a 450-range melee who cannot reach your 800 poke. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At 2 he still needs two Q stacks to close; your poke stays free. |
| Level 3 | Yone | By 3 Soul Unbound lets him commit while the damage waits. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yone | Through 4-5 his Q3-into-E all-in beats your immobile poke pattern. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 his R re-engage and mark outclass your escape-only ultimate. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item his crit spike lets him dive and reset through your poke. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Two-plus items he flanks, walls, and re-engages, owning the fights. |
Yone pressures early: his passive double-crit and E mobility let him tank your first pokes and step through the wave to auto you, so chip only from max Paddle Star range and never overextend for a Bubble. Track Soul Unbound (E) is 22s at rank 1 and 10s at rank 5 — survive the spirit and the stored damage lands on his body.
