Read from Yone's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Zaahen.
This is Yone's own plan; across 2,418 pooled games the lane is leaning Zaahen.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even - both of you farm with no committed all-in. |
| Level 2 | Yone | You own level 2 with Q-dash tempo and early E trade safety. |
| Level 3 | Yone | At 3 your Q3 knock-up plus E rewind fully controls the trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 even out as he stabilises farm and you both play cooldowns. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even - Grim Deliverance (R) answers your Fate Sealed all-in if held. |
| First item | Yone | First item is yours: crit and built-in shred out-duel him on cooldown. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Two items in your E rewind and R pick threat keep you ahead. |
Level 1 is an even farm-off with no committed all-in available, then the lane bends to you: at 2 Q-dash tempo and E Soul Unbound's trade safety mean every exchange ends on your terms, and at 3 the Q3 knockup into E rewind is a complete combo his half-built kit simply cannot answer.
