Unfortunately, the amount of diversity that’s possible leads to quite a bit of discourse, and there are few things that consistent top laners will agree on.

On top of that, he's bound to be extremely adept at farming CS like his brother, giving new players yet another reason to pick up and try out Yone. Interestingly enough, Yone's kit synergizes very well with Yasuo's, as Yone can use his two knock-ups to enable Yasuo's ultimate.

Yone splits his body into two, and players then control Yone's Spirit Form. Players deal and receive damage normally, and any damage done while in Spirit Form will mark enemies. Once the ability ends, the player instantly blinks back to Yone's body, and marked enemies will be dealt a portion of the damage they received from Yone's Spirit Form. This ability allows players to stick to an enemy and finish off kills with little risk to them. While there is still the risk of dying while in Spirit Form, a player can push deep into enemy lines to secure a kill and still guarantee an escape back to where they began - just make sure Yone's body is tucked away in a safe spot! This ability also looks fantastic with Yone's Spirit Blossom skin , which he will receive on rele<br><br> <br>Players can play as Zeus, Achilles, Aphrodite, Athena, Hades, Hercules, and so much more.

This ability, like Yasuo's "Steel Tempest," is a straight-line skillshot that deals instant damage based on Yone's attack damage and functions much like a buffed up auto-attack. The differences between the two character's abilities lie in the third consecutive strikes. Unlike Yasuo, Yone's third use of his Q is a knock-up attached to a dash. This means that Yone's ability to chase enemies down is much more reliable than his counterpart. An additional bonus is that Yone can freely dash over walls to chase or escape from an en<br>
