Jayce vs Yone

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use ranged poke and wave pressure to deny Yone safe farming and scaling in lane.
Leverage high early agency to snowball and control tempo before Yone's level 3 combo unlocks.
Prioritize poke siege and short burst trades to prevent Yone from executing extended trades.

Trading pattern

Poke first with empowered (Q) through (E), then convert to hammer form only when Yone's engage tools are down.
Punish Yone immediately after he uses (E) to engage and snap back, as he is vulnerable post-usage.
Avoid extended melee trades where Yone's shield (W) and knockup (Q) stacks can turn fights against you.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) is off cooldown, as his knockup and snapback enable strong engage.
Avoid committing hammer form when your poke (Q) misses, as you become vulnerable to Yone's all-in.
After hammer (Q) engage, you have limited escape; do not overcommit without sufficient health or cooldowns.

Early game

Start with ranged harassment using (Q) through (E) to build health leads before level 3.
Avoid committing hammer form trades until Yone uses (E) or misses key abilities.
Maintain mana to ensure consistent poke and pressure on Yone's limited early lane presence.

Power spikes

First damage item: Use increased poke and burst to pressure waves and force Yone into risky trades.
Mid-game poke siege: Set up vision and fire empowered (Q) through (E) to control lane and choke points.
Respect Yone's level 3 unlock of (Q)-(W)-(E) combo and his first attack speed item timing; avoid neutral trades during these spikes.

Win conditions

Use ranged poke to create health leads and deny Yone safe farming and scaling.
Convert poke advantages into wave control and plate damage to snowball lane dominance.
Exploit windows after (E) and (Q) knockup cooldowns to force short trades and disengage safely.
