How to win lane as Yone against K'Sante · 56.17% win rate over 3,372 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | K'Sante | K'Sante's Ntofo Strikes out-ranges your Q and his wall-stun punishes any level-1 aggression. |
| Level 2 | K'Sante | At level 2 his Q charges plus W keep out-trading your basic Q poke. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Levels 3-5 even out as your W shield and E dodges match his poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | This stays skill-based — neither champ secures a clean kill window here. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 remains a coin-flip: his R shred versus your R escape cancel out. |
| First item | Yone | With your first item your kite and shield break his engage — you pull ahead. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Two items in, Yone's scaling and mobility fully overwhelm the tank. |
K'Sante owns levels 1-2: his Ntofo Strikes (Q) out-ranges your Mortal Steel (Q) and the third-hit dash into a wall stuns you for a full combo. Don't contest the first wave trade — CS with your Q on cooldown and never stand near terrain where he can pull-stun you. His W charge is your cue to sidestep, not to walk forward.
