Yone Champion Abilities

Way of the Hunter

Steel and Spirit: Yone uses two blades, causing every second attack to deal 50% magic damage.

Intent: Yone's critical strike chance is increased by 150%, but his critical strikes deal 10% reduced damage. Gain 0.5 bonus attack damage for every 1% critical strike chance above 100%. P

Mortal Steel

Yone thrusts forward, dealing 20 / 45 / 70 / 95 / 120 (+1.05 per attack damage) physical damage. On hit, grants a stack for 6 seconds. At 2 stacks, this skill causes Yone to dash forward with a wave of wind that knocks up for 0.75 seconds and deals the same amount of damage as physical damage. Q

Spirit Cleave

Yone cleaves forward, dealing 10 / 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 + 10 / 11 / 12 / 13 / 14% max health split equally as physical and magic damage. If Yone hits an enemy, he gains a 60-80 (+0.65 of attack damage) shield for 1.5 seconds (depending on level). The amount of shield increases for each champion struck. W

Soul Unbound

Yone enters a spirit form for 5 seconds, leaving his body behind for the duration and gaining 10-30% ramping movement speed. When the spirit form ends, Yone snaps back to his body and repeats 25 / 27.5 / 30 / 32.5 / 35% of all damage he dealt to champions during this time.

You may recast this skill during spirit form. Recast: End spirit form early. E

Fate Sealed

Yone strikes all enemies along a path for 200 / 400 / 600 (+0.8 of attack damage) equally split physical and magic damage, teleporting behind the last champion hit and knocking up victims towards Yone. R

Yone Tips and Tricks

Don’t forget you can reactivate your E early to escape or dodge incoming damage or crowd control. In team fights, before using your Ultimate R, make sure to check the position of your allies. They need to be in a place to support you when you engage, to avoid going in alone. Your Q damage builds up early, so after landing a few Qs, commit to an all-in with your E to secure an early advantage.
