Ahri vs Yone

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Ahri's early lane priority and range to deny (E)+(Q) combo trades and prevent his scaling.
Focus on controlling wave tempo to create roam opportunities and force Yone into vulnerable positions.

Trading pattern

Poke with (Q) and (W) to proc Electrocute and look for (E) windows when Yone wastes mobility or misses (Q) knockup.
Avoid extended trades without (R) available since (E) snapback and (Q) knockup can punish overcommitment.
Use (E) after Yone commits forward or uses key cooldowns to secure picks or force him back.

Danger windows

Vulnerable before level 6 or when (R) is on cooldown; avoid forced all-ins during these times.
Respect (E) knockup and (Q) third cast knockup as key all-in threats.
Missing (E) or using (Q) on the wave without (R) up opens windows for Yone to punish aggressively.

Early game

Use (Q) and (W) for short trades before Yone hits level 3 and unlocks his full combo.
Hold (E) to punish Yone when he commits with (E) or misses his (Q) knockup.
Keep the wave controlled to avoid extended trades where Yone's mobility and snapback threaten all-ins.

Power spikes

Spike at level 3 with full abilities for more flexible short trades, but save (E) for real punish windows.
Level 6 (R) significantly increases Ahri's pick and chase safety; track its availability to extend or disengage trades.
Respect Yone's level 3 unlock and first item timing, which empower his all-in combo and attack speed.

Win conditions

Land (E) to pick off Yone after he wastes mobility or defensive cooldowns.
Control wave tempo to deny Yone safe scaling and create roam pressure after level 6.
Use (R) to safely extend trades or disengage after punishing Yone's overcommitments.
