Early game (levels 1–5)

You hold the early edge: Yone's Q double-tap harasses and his passive crit makes short trades sting, but your base stats and heal let you win the brawls he steps into before your full Q rotation. Don't over-extend — pick your trades, dodge his Q, and hold your W pull for when he commits. Neither of you has a clean all-in yet, but the short-trade math favours you.
