Stable ratings are a good sign for one-tricks: the play patterns you practice now should keep working next patch. At C tier, Yone is a mains-only pick this patch: expect to out-knowledge opponents rather than out-stat them.

The hardest matchups this patch are Darius (47.0% win rate for Yone) and Renekton (47.1% win rate for Yone): consider banning one or holding your pick until the opponent locks in.

How to play Yone Top

Pick Yone Top in patch 26.13 only as a comfort pick: expect to out-knowledge opponents rather than out-stat them.

Yone Top guide

In the top lane duel, Yone leans on the same three tools every matchup: Mortal Steel (Q) builds toward a Gathering Storm dash that knocks a foe Airborne, Spirit Cleave (W) answers with a shield once return damage lands, and Soul Unbound (E) lets his spirit range ahead to finish a duel or pull him out of one, while Way of the Hunter (passive) adds damage on every second Attack.

The build

Precision gives him Lethal Tempo, Absorb Life, Legend: Alacrity, and Last Stand, paired with Second Wind and Overgrowth from Resolve. Flash and Ignite round out summoners. Leveling goes Mortal Steel (Q) into Spirit Cleave (W) into Soul Unbound (E), then keeps maxing Mortal Steel (Q) first and Soul Unbound (E) second. Doran's Bow and a pair of Health Potions carry him into Berserker's Greaves. Blade of The Ruined King, Immortal Shieldbow, and Infinity Edge form the core, with Mortal Reminder leading the later options ahead of Death's Dance and a B. F. Sword.

Ability mechanics

Every hit with Mortal Steel (Q) adds a Gathering Storm stack on top of its line damage, and the second stack turns the next cast into a dash that knocks its target Airborne. Spirit Cleave (W) answers with a cone that shields Yone more heavily the more champions it catches, though its cooldown and cast time depend on his attack speed. Once Soul Unbound (E) has carried his spirit forward on bonus Move Speed, ending it snaps him back and echoes part of the spirit's damage.

Matchups

Darius, Renekton, Garen, Malphite, and Jax pose the toughest tests by win rate. Sion, Aatrox, and Jayce are where he performs best.
