Who Wins

  • You win pre-6 through superior range and poke with Q in cannon form, but must respect Yorick's level 2-3 all-in potential with Q+E if you position poorly.
  • Post-6 you lose extended fights due to Yorick's R creating a numbers advantage, but can still win short trades with proper kiting.

How to Trade

  • Use Q poke in cannon form then immediately switch to hammer form for W+E combo when Yorick tries to engage, creating distance while dealing damage.
  • Always look to trade when his ghouls are down or when you can position to avoid his E wall.

Wave Control

  • Push early waves to deny Yorick's grave stacking, but transition to freezing once he has 3-4 graves as extended trades become dangerous.
  • Maintain wave control through superior waveclear with Q in both forms while avoiding overextension.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't stay in hammer form too long during trades as you lose your escape tool and range advantage.
  • Never fight Yorick in his minion wave with multiple ghouls up, as the sustained damage will overwhelm your burst pattern.
