How to play as Yone
Use Soul Unbound(E) to sidestep Locke's third Soul Nails(Q) when he has already landed earlier nails, then punish after he spends Q or his dash.
When Locke spends Soul Nails(Q) to clear the wave, look for a trade before his next Q sequence is ready.
Locke's Soul Nails(Q) can stack into a dangerous burst sequence; sidestepping at least one cast prevents him from completing all three hits.
