| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Volibear | Level 1-2 is yours with a stronger stat block and the Q stun before Yone's combo comes online. |
| Level 2 | Volibear | Level 2 stays yours as your basics out-value his Q-dash poke. |
| Level 3 | Volibear | At 3 your full Q-W-E combo out-trades his kit and holds him with E's slow. |
| Levels 4-5 | Volibear | Levels 4-5 you keep the edge trading whenever his Q2 and E are on cooldown. |
| Level 6 | Volibear | Level 6 your R still answers his engage and pins him, keeping the phase yours. |
| First item | Yone | First item swings to Yone: his crit spike plus E rewind out-trade and escape you. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Late game Yone out-scales as a mixed-damage duelist you can only pin with R in fights. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: your stat block and the Q stun beat Yone's early poke, which leans on his Q dash and stacking his passive crit. Punish him each time he steps up to farm before his combo is online.
