Who Wins
- You lose early trades due to lack of sustain against Yorick's Q healing and ghoul poke, but your trading improves at level 3 with full combo access.
- Post-6 you still struggle in extended fights as your R is better for teamfight setup than 1v1 dueling against sustained DPS from Maiden.
How to Trade
- Your best trade is W to apply Brittle while becoming Unstoppable to avoid ghoul slows, then immediately E through Yorick to proc Brittle damage and knockup.
- Use Q defensively to zone ghouls or create terrain for follow-up E knockups if the trade extends.
Wave Control
- Focus on farming safely and clearing waves efficiently with W, avoiding extended trades until you have items and levels.
- Look for short burst trades with W-E combo then disengage, as you cannot match Yorick's sustained damage and healing.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W Unstoppable on ghoul damage alone - save it for when Yorick commits with W cage or when you need to engage through his minions.
- Avoid fighting in his W cage without using your W to become Unstoppable, as you'll take too much ghoul and Maiden damage.
