How to win lane as K'Sante against Yone · 50.75% win rate over 1,807 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | I only have Q with no engage threat at Level 1, and Yone's Q dash plus W cleave out-trade me — concede the level and farm at Ntofo range. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | I'm safer with W or E up, but his Q-W poke still matches my chip, so it's an even last-hitting stretch until my combo is online. |
| Level 3 | K'Sante | My full Q-W combo lands: I bait his Q dash, W-charge the unstoppable wall-stun so his cleave can't break it, then Q3 knocks him up for a real trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | K'Sante | Levels 4-5 are my tank control peak — I trade around his cooldowns and bank leads with my bulk while he must walk into my Q range to farm. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | All Out is a coin-flip: it wins me the duelist 1v1 but strips my tankiness, and his E spirit-rewind can undo my engage and reset the fight. |
| First item | Even / skill | Iceborn Gauntlet makes me durable and disruptive, but his first crit item keeps the lane even — my Q slow and W stun force fights before he spikes. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Two crit items let his Q3-into-R burst and E-rewind kiting out-DPS my stripped All-Out body — my armor does nothing, so I peel in teamfights instead of dueling. |
Level 1 I have only Q and no engage, so I concede the level and just farm at Ntofo Strikes range — Yone's Q dash and W spirit-cleave out-trade me if I step up early. Once I hit Level 2 for W or E I'm safer, and at Level 3 my full kit is online: this is my first real window. The key is to bait his Q dash — when he commits it I W-charge the unstoppable wall-stun so his cleave can't interrupt me, then Q3 knocks him up and pulls him in. Never throw a raw Q at a Yone holding his E; he'll spirit-rewind straight out of the pull.
