How to win lane as Zaahen against Yone · 52.03% win rate over 2,418 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even — both farm with no committed all-in. |
| Level 2 | Yone | Yone owns level 2 with Q-dash tempo and early E trade safety. |
| Level 3 | Yone | At level 3 his Q3 knock-up plus E rewind fully controls the trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 even out as you stabilise farm and both play cooldowns. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even — your R Final Retribution answers his Fate Sealed all-in if held. |
| First item | Yone | First item favours Yone: crit and built-in shred out-duel you on cooldown. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Two items in his E rewind and R pick threat keep him ahead. |
Level 1-2 is even farming, but Yone already out-tempos your Q Darkin Glaive with his Q dashes and can start abusing E to trade safely, so don't over-commit. Keep the wave neutral and hold E Golden Onslaught — dashing first into a Yone who can rewind out is a losing trade.
