How to win lane as Sejuani against Yone · 47.72% win rate over 241 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yone | Yone Q dashes onto you before Permafrost armor activates — take W, hit the wave, and trade nothing at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Yone | His Q level 2 closes range instantly and soul-split heals him through short trades you initiate without your full combo ready. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Full kit W-W-E stun is a real punish but only when his E rewind is confirmed down — otherwise he reverses the trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yone | His W spirit-cleave damage outpaces your tank-ramp in sustained fights and your damage does not scale with levels the way his does. |
| Level 6 | Sejuani | Glacial Prison thrown in the open when his E is on cooldown is your hardest kill window — the CC chain is near-inescapable. |
| First item | Even / skill | First tank item ends your squishy phase but his Kraken Slayer or Shieldbow spike keeps the dueling math roughly even, not in your favor. |
| Two+ items | Yone | E spirit-rewind lets him escape or dodge every subsequent Q engage attempt — your CC becomes a teamfight tool, not a lane-kill pattern. |
At level 1 you have no engage and Yone has a Q dash — take W, hit the wave, and do not give him an auto trade because his soul-split passive means he heals part of that back while you eat the full damage. His Q at level 1 closes the gap before your Permafrost armor is even active if you gave him damage in the last few seconds. Stay passive, last-hit, and resist the urge to trade — you have nothing to win it with yet. At level 2 his Q dash lets him outtrade you in any extended exchange because he can reposition mid-fight; use your own Q only as an escape threat, not an initiation.
