Yone Mid guide

Yone mid is built around Mortal Steel (Q), Spirit Cleave (W), and Soul Unbound (E): stack Gathering Storm with Mortal Steel to unlock a knock-up dash, shield through the return damage with Spirit Cleave, then send his spirit ahead with Soul Unbound to chase or reset the fight, all while Way of the Hunter (passive) empowers every second Attack.

The build

Rune page: Lethal Tempo, Absorb Life, Legend: Alacrity, and Last Stand (Precision), with Second Wind and Overgrowth (Resolve). Summoners: Flash and Ignite. Skill order opens Mortal Steel (Q), Spirit Cleave (W), then Soul Unbound (E), maxing Mortal Steel (Q) first and Soul Unbound (E) second. Starter: Doran's Bow and two Health Potions, into Berserker's Greaves. Core build: Blade of The Ruined King, Immortal Shieldbow, and Infinity Edge, with Death's Dance, B. F. Sword, and Mortal Reminder as later options.

Ability mechanics

Mortal Steel (Q) thrusts forward, damaging enemies in a line and granting a stack of Gathering Storm; at two stacks it becomes a dash that knocks the target Airborne. Spirit Cleave (W) cleaves a cone and shields Yone for more the more champions it hits, with its cooldown and cast time scaling off attack speed. Soul Unbound (E) sends his spirit ahead with bonus Move Speed, then pulls him back to his body to repeat a portion of the spirit's damage.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Zed, Katarina, Ahri, Akali, Sylas. Best matchups: Yasuo, Locke, Viktor.
