Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 through superior range and mobility with Q, as Yorick lacks ghouls and has limited trading tools early.
- At level 6, Yorick becomes significantly stronger due to R creating constant pressure and additional damage sources that can overwhelm your sustain.
How to Trade
- You should initiate trades with Q1 or Q2 sweet spots, then use E to pull Yorick back if he tries to disengage, finishing with W for the knockup combo.
- Always look to trade when Yorick has no ghouls up, as his damage output is severely reduced without them.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain a slow push or freeze near your tower to deny Yorick's ability to stack graves safely.
- Avoid hard shoving unless you can recall, as Yorick excels at punishing overextended positions with R and ghoul swarms.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight Yorick when he has 3-4 ghouls and R active, as the combined damage will outduel you even through your sustain.
- Don't waste your Q sweet spots on ghouls instead of Yorick himself, as this gives him free trades while his minions remain active.
