W-blink his Q3 — poke, kite his E burst.
Track: Yone's E — Soul Unbound (22–10s cooldown). He snaps back when it ends. Poke there.
Read from Aurora's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yone.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Aurora | You're a single-spell mage with a clunky escape at level 1 and his Q-strike trades even — last-hit and set up rather than throwing a hex he dashes through. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Q-out-then-pull double-hit comes online and every spell exorcises a spirit that heals you, so you out-trade his Q-strike pokes. |
| Level 3 | Yone | Your full Q-pull double-hit out-pokes him while Spirit Abjuration's heal stacks sustain you through his return damage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yone | Your poke, passive healing, and W cooldown all line up — you control short trades before either ultimate matters. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Between Worlds zones his E body-return spot and the W-reset-on-takedown lets one pull snowball the lane. |
| First item | Yone | Your Luden's/Malignance spike sharpens the Q-pull burst — keep forcing trades on his E snap-back point. |
| Two+ items | Yone | He out-scales you: full-crit Yone with the E body-snap and R dash-knockup out-duels you once his crit items come online. |
Level 1 is a real toss-up — you're a one-spell mage with a clunky escape and his Q-strike trades just as hard, so last-hit and don't walk into his Q range to throw a hex he can dash through and stat-check. From Level 2-3 you take over: fire Q out, recast to pull the curse back through him for the double-hit, and let each spirit Spirit Abjuration exorcises drift back to heal you through whatever he pokes back. Hold W — it's your reposition tool, not a chase button — and keep it for dodging his triple-Q knockup-dash, not for poking.
