Jax vs Yone

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Prioritize surviving early trades by using (E) to block Yone's auto attacks and avoid his (E) engage.
Focus on scaling safely to hit your item spikes and force side-lane duels where your sustained damage excels.

Trading pattern

Bait Yone's auto attacks into (E) to stun and follow up with (Q) for favorable trades.
Punish Yone when he wastes (E) or misses his (Q) knockup by extending trades aggressively.
Avoid trading without (E) ready or after using (Q) forward without an escape plan.

Danger windows

Respect (E) knockup and snapback as his main engage tool; avoid extended trades when it's available.
Avoid trading or all-ins when your (E) is down, as you lose your main defensive and stun tool.
Be cautious when Yone hits level 3 and after his first item spike, as his damage and engage reliability increase.

Early game

Avoid extended fights before level 6 to prevent getting outtraded by Yone's early combo.
Use (E) defensively to absorb Yone's key damage and only engage when (E) is available.
Maintain wave control to deny Yone clean access to his (E) + (Q) combo initiation.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to increase durability and take extended trades when (E) is up and Yone's cooldowns are down.
After your first two-item spike, force isolated side-lane fights to leverage your scaling dueling power.
Respect Yone's level 3 unlock of (Q)-(W)-(E) combo and his first attack speed item spike by playing cautiously before these points.

Win conditions

Survive early lane by using (E) to deny Yone's trades and scale safely to your item spikes.
Force long side-lane duels after your two-item spike where you can out-sustain and out-damage Yone.
Punish Yone's cooldowns on (E) and (Q) by engaging aggressively only when his main escape and engage tools are down.
