Who Wins
- Pre-6, you win most extended trades if you can land your E to close the gap, as Yorick's W slows you and his ghouls deal meaningful chip damage, but your passive bleed and Q heal outscale his sustained damage in a full trade.
- At level 3 your all-in threat becomes real, but Yorick's W cage can deny your E follow-up and force you to fight on his terms, so early trades are not as free as they appear.
How to Trade
- Post-6, you win a clean 1v1 if you can stack your passive to 5 before using R, but Yorick's R summons a powerful clone that continues fighting even after he dies, meaning killing him does not end the threat and you may die to the aftermath.
- You need to be healthy enough to survive both Yorick and his R simultaneously, so avoid committing your R when you are below 50% HP.
Wave Control
- Your best trading pattern is to bait out Yorick's W, then immediately E in and look for a full trade with auto-Q-auto to stack your passive bleed quickly.
- Avoid short trades where you take ghoul damage without applying enough stacks, as Yorick wins those exchanges due to sustained ghoul pressure and W zone control.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Push the wave hard early to deny Yorick the ability to freely place his E on minions and stack his passive, since his kit becomes significantly stronger when he has ghouls available.
- Do not let the wave freeze under his tower, as fighting in a frozen wave with ghouls present and his W available is one of the worst possible scenarios for you.
