Playing as Yone

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Charge Mortal Steel on minions

    Hit twice with Mortal Steel (Q), minions included, to charge the next one: it makes you dash forward and knocks the enemies hit into the air.

  2. Cleave several champions at once

    Cast Spirit Cleave (W) on several champions at once: it deals damage based on their max health, and your shield grows with the number of champions hit.

  3. Engage in spirit form

    Cast Soul Unbound (E) to engage: when it ends, you snap back to the body you left behind, and part of the damage you dealt to champions is repeated.

  4. Line them up for your ult

    Cast Fate Sealed (R) through several enemies: everyone in the line is hit and knocked into the air toward you, and you reappear behind the last champion hit.

Playing against Gnar

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Play hard against Mini Gnar

    Take your trades when he's Mini Gnar with little Rage Gene (passive): he then has no stun and none of Mega Gnar's defenses.

  2. Dodge his boomerang

    Dodge Boomerang Throw (Q): it slows you, and if he catches it on the way back, its cooldown drops.

  3. Short trades

    Take short trades: on every third auto or ability that hits you, Hyper (W) adds damage based on your max health.

  4. Stay away from walls

    Stay away from walls against Mega Gnar: GNAR! (R) knocks back every nearby enemy, and those who hit a wall are stunned.
