Yone vs Lux

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Yone is a scaling melee skirmisher who uses E + Q combo to force trades with planned exits against Lux's poke and root threat.
Avoid giving Lux passive lane control by denying her safe poke windows and respecting Lux Q root threat.

Trading pattern

Stack Q to set up knockup, then use E to gap close and second Q for knockup, snapping back with E to avoid Lux's poke retaliation.
Punish Lux when she misses Lux Q by engaging quickly with E + Q combo.
Respect Lux W shield and Lux R damage by avoiding all-ins when Lux's key abilities are available.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Lux's Lux Q root and Lux R are off cooldown, as she can burst or lock down Yone.
Yone is vulnerable if E is used recklessly or missed, as Lux can punish during his forced return position.
Avoid extended trades when Lux's shield (Lux W) is up, reducing your damage and increasing her survivability.

Early game

Use level 3 power spike to start short trades with E + Q + W shield, but avoid extended fights due to Lux's poke and root.
Dodge Lux Q to prevent getting locked down and punished by her burst.
Avoid using E from bad positions early to prevent Lux from punishing Yone's predictable return location.

Power spikes

Yone's level 3 unlock of Q-W-E combo and W shield is a major trading spike.
Yone's first back for attack speed and items like Bork improve sustained trades.
Lux's level 6 Lux R and first completed mage item are spikes to respect and avoid extended trades.

Win conditions

Use E + Q combo to force trades and deny Lux safe poke and scaling.
Punish Lux's missed Lux Q by all-inning quickly to snowball lane control.
Reach level 3 and first item spike to increase trading power and pressure Lux out of lane control.
