How to win lane as Yone against Illaoi · 51.06% win rate over 1,694 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Illaoi | Illaoi's level-1 tentacle slaps and E out-trade your unstacked Q. |
| Level 2 | Illaoi | Level 2 her tentacle field and spirit-pull keep punishing your trades. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | At 3 your combo evens it into a skill window off her E cooldown. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay skill-based around dodging her E and tentacles. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 your E walks your body out of her ult field, keeping it skill. |
| First item | Yone | First-item Yone bursts her between tentacle swings when E is down. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Yone out-scales and R-flanks from outside her tentacle zone late. |
Illaoi owns levels 1-2: her Tentacle (E) and passive slaps out-trade you, and if you fight inside her tentacle field her Q slams stack damage faster than your W-shield can absorb, so farm at range and respect the E skillshot. Eating a spirit-pull this early can lose you the lane outright.
