How to play as Yone

Pressure Veigar early, before his cage and ultimate give him stronger kill pressure. Use Fate Sealed(R) to cross the cage, or recast Soul Unbound(E) while your body is outside and before the stun lands; snapback will not clear crowd control that has already hit you.

Fate Sealed(R) is a blink that can cross Event Horizon(E) without being stunned; Soul Unbound(E) can also return Yone to his body outside the cage if he recasts before the stun lands.

Soul Unbound(E) snapback does not clear a root or stun that has already landed; the cage escape only works if Yone returns before Event Horizon(E) stuns him.

How to play as Veigar

Save Event Horizon(E) for Yone's approach or Q3 rather than using it too early; if he has Fate Sealed(R) ready, keep distance and don't rely on the cage alone to stop his all-in.
