Read from Warwick's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yone.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Warwick | Warwick-favoured: Q Jaws healing holds level 1 despite Yone's Mortal Steel range. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Skill: his Q3 knock-up poke trades even against your sustain if you misposition. |
| Level 3 | Warwick | Warwick-favoured: W Blood Hunt lets you punish every offensive E Soul Unbound. |
| Levels 4-5 | Warwick | Warwick-favoured: your Q heal out-values his poke while his rewind is down. |
| Level 6 | Warwick | Warwick-favoured: at 6 your R suppresses him out of his combo before crit online. |
| First item | Yone | Yone-favoured: his first crit/on-hit item pushes mixed damage past your heal. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Yone-favoured: E Soul Unbound rewind plus crit outscales you in long duels. |
Level 1-2 is skill-dependent: Yone's Q Mortal Steel poke and range let him harass, but your Q Jaws of the Beast heal keeps you even if you don't walk into his Q3 knock-up. Farm safely and don't get clipped by his empowered third Q.
