Yone vs Akali

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Yone's sustained damage and crowd control can outlast Akali's burst if he dodges her initial engage.
Akali relies on shroud for safe trades, making vision and timing crucial to punish her cooldowns.

Trading pattern

Engage with Q and E combos when Akali's shroud is on cooldown or after she uses it aggressively.
Hold W to block or dodge Akali's E or R bursts and counterattack immediately.
Avoid trading when Akali's shroud is up; back off and wait for it to expire.

Danger windows

When Akali hits level 6 and her shroud is available, she can all-in with reduced risk.
If Akali uses shroud and re-engages with R, Yone can be burst down if caught out of position.
After Akali roams, hard push the wave to punish her absence and take plates.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before level 6 as Akali's shroud blocks Yone's Q and E combos.
Push the wave moderately to keep Akali from safely farming in shroud early.
Level 6 is a key point where Akali's all-in threat spikes significantly.

Power spikes

Level 2 when Yone gains access to Q and E for quick burst and mobility.
Level 6 ultimate allows Yone to engage or escape Akali's all-in attempts.
First item completion (e.g., a lethality or crit item) increases Yone's burst potential significantly.

Win conditions

Punish Akali's shroud cooldowns with quick combos and crowd control.
Use ultimate to dodge Akali's burst and reposition for counter-engage.
Maintain lane pressure to deny Akali safe farm and force mistakes leading to kills.

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