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 Ryze
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Back off when he marks you
Back off when Spell Flux (E) marks you: marked, Rune Prison (W) roots you instead of slowing you, and Overload (Q) hits you harder.
- Target him when he comes close
If you can engage, target him when he comes close for his combo: he has no dash to get away.
- Interrupt his portal
If you have CC, use it on Ryze while Realm Warp (R) is charging: it cancels the portal.
