Naafiri vs Yone

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Naafiri aims to chip Yone with Q poke and only commit W when Yone's mobility or crowd control is down.
Maintain medium lane pressure to deny Yone easy scaling and punish his predictable engage paths.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing Q to apply bleed, then commit W and E only if Yone's crowd control or mobility is on cooldown.
Avoid using W into Yone's Q3 knockup or E knockup windows to prevent being punished.
Use R to chase isolated or low-health Yone targets after successful poke and cooldown baiting.

Danger windows

Yone is dangerous when his E knockup and Q third cast knockup are available.
Avoid committing W when Yone's R is ready, as it can instantly turn fights with displacement and knockup.
Be cautious when Yone uses E from a bad position; he becomes vulnerable but can also punish if misplayed.

Early game

Use Q to poke Yone early and avoid committing W until Yone's E or Q knockup is spent.
Keep the wave from trapping you to prevent Yone from safely using his E + Q combo.
Avoid all-ins before level 6 and before establishing bleed stacks with Q.

Power spikes

Naafiri's level 6 R greatly increases chase and all-in potential.
First lethality item completion boosts Q poke and burst threat.
Respect Yone's level 3 power spike when he unlocks his full Q-W-E combo with shield and gap close.

Win conditions

Win by consistently landing Q poke to lower Yone's health before committing all-ins with W and R.
Punish Yone when he uses E or Q knockup poorly or when his defensive cooldowns are down.
Use R-enhanced chase to secure kills on isolated or low-health Yone after poke pressure.

Tip: For Naafiri vs Yone, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
