Playing as Yone
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Jax
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Short trades
Take a short trade, then back off: Relentless Assault (passive) increases his attack speed with each consecutive auto.
- Back off during Counter Strike
During Counter Strike (E), back off instead of attacking: he dodges your autos, then stuns nearby enemies, dealing more damage per dodged auto.
- Trade after his E
Trade right after Counter Strike (E): it's both his defense and his only stun, and it has a 17 to 9 second cooldown.
- Don't let him split push alone
In the late game, don't leave his split push unanswered: send someone to hold his lane, or force an objective on the other side of the map.
