Who Wins
- You win most trades pre-6 through superior base stats and Q poke, especially at levels 1-2 before Yorick gets multiple ghouls.
- Post-6, you lose extended all-ins if caught in his W with maiden up, but can still win short trades by using W to escape before taking too much damage.
How to Trade
- You want to Q poke whenever possible and look for short trades with passive stacks, then use W to disengage before ghouls can deal significant damage.
- Focus on stacking passive on Yorick rather than ghouls, as killing ghouls gives him more graves to work with.
Wave Control
- You should look to break any freeze attempts with Q spam on the wave, and avoid letting Yorick build up graves by constantly clearing minions.
- Push when you have Q advantage and look to recall on good timings to avoid his all-in windows.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You cannot let Yorick trap you in W without your W available, as you'll take massive damage from maiden and ghouls with no escape.
- Never ignore his ghouls in trades, as they provide significant DPS and will chunk you down if you only focus on Yorick.
