Darius vs Yone

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use your early lane pressure and pull threat to deny Yone safe trades and force him to respect your engage range.
This matchup is a snowball fight where you must force extended trades and prevent Yone from scaling comfortably.

Trading pattern

Threaten with (E) to force Yone into melee range, then use autos and (W) to maintain pressure and build passive stacks.
Prioritize landing outer (Q) to heal and maximize damage during extended trades.
Only commit to (R) after securing passive stacks and chipping Yone's health to ensure execute resets.

Danger windows

Beware of (E) knockup and snapback combo which can punish your (E) if used recklessly.
Respect (Q) third cast knockup and (R) displacement which can turn fights instantly.
Avoid all-ins when your (E) is on cooldown or if you miss outer (Q), as your damage and sustain drop significantly.

Early game

Aggressively control the wave near your side to bait Yone into your (E) pull range.
Focus on landing outer (Q) for sustain and damage while stacking passive before committing to all-ins.
Avoid early (E) pulls if Yone still has mobility to escape or punish you.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks your (R) execute, enabling lethal all-ins after passive stacks; use this to snowball kills.
First completed bruiser item enhances your durability and damage, letting you force longer trades safely.
Respect Yone's level 3 combo unlock with (Q)-(W)-(E) and his first attack speed item spikes by avoiding extended trades without cooldown advantage.

Win conditions

Use wave control to keep Yone forced into your (E) range and deny him safe farming.
Stack passive bleed through extended trades and finish with (R) execute resets to snowball lane kills.
Punish (E) usage by engaging when he is vulnerable after his snapback and maintain pressure to deny his scaling.
