| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|

| Level 3 | Garen | Your Q-E all-in with silence beats squishy Yone before items at 3. |
| Levels 4-5 | Garen | Through 4-5 you win any trade when his E Soul Unbound is down. |
| Level 6 | Garen | R executes a committed Yone after his ult and Q3 knockup land. |
| First item | Yone | His first crit item and E disengage start out-trading your spins. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Two crit items, double dash, and R let Yone kite and out-scale you. |
You win levels 1-2 comfortably: Garen's tankier base kit and Q-silence burst beat Yone's fragile early game, and his knockup Q3 takes three casts to come online.
