So, two questions.
1) Does he have mana.
2) Can you reactivate e early? It seems that way from the video.

Yes u can reactivate it early
But can he use abilities during his E? :O
Yes, he can use his whole kit
Is his main body one that takes damage and his spirit body is untargetable?
His human body can’t be hit or take damage, only his Azakana form u control
When is he going on pbe?
Later today
But it triggers anyway at the end of it, right?
Yes, he HAS to go back at the end
How does E exactly work? Do they have to damage your main body or your spirit body (or both)?
Do you deal damage while in spirit state, or only once you retract, kind of building it up "bomb style"?
They can only damage his spirit form, the human form is invulnerable. U do all normal damage you would do but the bonus damage happens when you return. Feels amazing when the bonus damage kills them as you zip back to your body. Has a very “Cool guys don’t look at explosions” feel
In the champions insight for Yone, it's kind of misleading when it says " But unlike Zed or LeBlanc, Yone gets no choice in whether he returns to his body—he must go back when the timer ends. " because it seems like he shouldn't be able to reactivate it
What it means is you MUST go back at some point, when the timer ends it forces you back. Zed doesn’t have to go back if he doesn’t want to
What can he do during his E?
Summoners, Ult, 2nd part of Q, W?
We've only seen him use Q and AA during E
Anything
Can you use your other abilities while in spirit form? Except the ult of course lol
U can use all your abilities including your Ult. E into Ult then return is really fun to cover a lot of distance
But that makes it more interesting to balance, you can make people who itemize against it way less effected while having the ability be stronger against people who don’t. Or maybe that’s a bad idea lol.
(not on balance/design team!)
It's the same reason Zoe's E does true damage. If the ability double-dipped from armor, even someone with no bonus armor would take way less damage due to innate armor scaling. If you did 100 damage to someone, post-mitigation that's 60 damage on most carries with no armor; just scaling
If his E transferred 100% of the post-mitigation damage (I really don't know, I haven't played him), then his E would deal 42 damage instead of 60 due to having to go through armor mitigation again.
The alternative would either be to have the second hit apply pre-mitigation damage from the first (this is how Zed works) or to deal true damage on the post-mitigation of the strikes during the E.
I prefer the latter model because it means if you have a lot of armor or you simply use a temporary steroid to reduce the first hits, you actually feel like you did something skillful.
His body is immune to damage and cc lmao Only the shadow is vulnerable. A rioter mentioned this somewhere below
To be clear, it's functionally similar to LeBlanc W'ing forward, that spirit is Yone who you can damage and can damage you, and the body just represents the point he has to snap back to when he reactivates the ability or it expires. There's no separate health bars or anything.
When he auto and does his abilties it just marks the enemies. Only when he goes back to his real body does the sudden burst damage appear as reduced true dmg
It's more like Zed's R, he does all the same damage he'd do without his E, but then when he snaps back it pops for bonus damage.
this is what y’all get for banning yasuo so much
Wait on his E is the spirit damageable or just the body? Also, can he both Q and E over walls? i.e. if I use E over a wall can i just beat up a melee champ without fear of retaliation because he cant hit my body?
Your spirit form is what takes damage, your body doesn't.
I like the idea of the ability, but it somehow "feels" like it takes away the tempo of an assassin. What was the initial designing idea behind that skill?
Well E combined with R gives him insane target access to get to squishies, kill them and then safetly return to his body location, assuming he does that from a safe distance
Oh cool, so the kit does flow well! I got confused a bit since the designer for Yone is known for smooth kits, and I got confused how these mesh together. Until that is the ability description never said about being unable to cast other abilities.
What about the physical form? Does it use abilities too like a reverse Zed shadow?
You should try it in-game, it feels incredibly smooth once you get the hang of E and all the ways E interacts with the rest of his kit, lots of cool combos and outplay potential. This is the champ that is finally going to get me to give up Akali, my current main since her release
Does his spirit form have the same amount/percent health as his human form, and regardless, does the damage taken in spirit form get applied to his human form upon return?
When he uses it it is just like he used any dash ability, he retains his current health and any damage he takes damages him at the moment
Hey! Really sick champ! Really excited and looking forward to play him! I have a question though : are his visuals final? as in will his animations and model look exactly like this in live, or will there be changes to it? It looks really cool but something feels a little bit off atleast to me, about his character model proportions. Im sure about it though. Cheers!
We intentionally made him tall/thin to give him that undead samurai feel. We also wanted to make sure to make our 2 samurai champs had different body shapes and sillhouttes, which is why we decided to push Yone to be tall/thin to contrast Yasuo.
ANSWER THE QUESTION /u/Reav3!
He does not have mana
Wait, so does that means you can e, flash, r someone? The outplay videos are gonna be sick if you can.
Yes, I play him A LOT in internal playtests, since I main Assassins, and yes you can do that, and yes it feels godlike
Can his E go over walls?
yes
Hi. Was the whole theme focused to somehow match Yasuo's kit or to have good synergy with him? Will Yasuo have special interactions or will Yone just have his own monologue when encountering Yasuo? Please, if you arent project lead or just arent in position to answer, may I get contact where I could get this questions answered? Thanks.
Yasuo will get updated VO lines. He was designed to be good both as and against Yasuo
So it's like Leblanc's W?
Correct, expect Yone MUST go back at the end of the timer
Hey Reav3, now that both Lillia and Yone have been shown can we expect a roadmap in the near future before the Marksman? Or will the next roadmap happen after their release?
Current plan is for the next roadmap to be after the Marksmen
Is Marksmen a typo? I know we have the "combo marksman" coming, is there a second or did you mean "marksman"
It was a typo
Can you maybe say 1 or 2 Things about him/her ?
Stylish
Can we expect a Champion Designed by Zeronis next year ?
yes
Can you tell us who designed the new marksman?
The concept artist was KindleJack
I'm not sure how it works, but concept artist is just for visuals right? Can you tell us who "designed" the kit?
