yone

Yone is a playable champion in the video game League of Legends, developed by Riot Games. He is an Ionian swordsman known for wielding a spirit blade and for being the twin brother of Yasuo. Yone’s lore centers on his pursuit of truth and redemption, a journey that intersects with the world of spirits and the consequences of past choices.

In terms of gameplay, Yone is a mobile fighter who excels at skirmishing and catching opponents off guard. His kit blends close-range melee prowess with ability-enhanced strikes and the potential for true damage, rewarding players who can time their attacks and reposition effectively. Successful play relies on weaving basic attacks with abilities to maximize damage during short windows, then exiting with speed to avoid reprisals. He is generally played in the mid lane and also finds a place in other lanes depending on team composition and balance changes. Yone’s high mechanical demand and strong late-game potential have made him a popular pick among experienced players.

Lore-wise, Yone’s story along with his brother Yasuo explores themes of identity, duty, and reconciliation within Runeterra. After a pivotal clash that binds his fate to the spirit world, Yone continues his path as a warrior who seeks to understand the past while shaping his own future. The character design emphasizes a blend of elegance and danger, reflected in his swift, precise fighting style and iconic spirit blade.

Since his introduction, Yone has received balance updates and new cosmetic skins as part of Riot’s ongoing expansion of Runeterra’s champions. See also Yasuo.
