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 Pantheon
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Trade after his Shield Vault
Take a trade when Shield Vault (W) is on cooldown: it's his only spell to leap onto you and stun you, on a 13 to 9 second cooldown.
- Go around his Aegis
During Aegis Assault (E), go around him or wait it out: he ignores damage from the front, except from towers.
- Back before you get too low
Back before your health gets too low against him: below a health threshold, Comet Spear (Q) deals much more damage.
- Ping when he leaves lane
Ping your team as soon as he disappears from lane: Grand Starfall (R) lands him from long range, after a short delay that gives you time to get away.
- Drag the game out
If you survive his first minutes, play for time: Pantheon looks to get ahead early through his trades and roams.
