Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range and mobility, able to kite Yorick's Q attempts and poke with autos while he farms.
- Post-6 becomes much more dangerous as his R creates a cage that severely limits your mobility, and the Maiden provides sustained damage that can overwhelm you in extended fights.
How to Trade
- Your best trades involve auto-Q-auto combos when Yorick moves to last hit, then immediately backing off before he can respond with Q or summon ghouls.
- Never commit to extended trades as his sustain from Q and ghoul damage will outlast your burst.
Wave Control
- Maintain a slow push or freeze near your tower to deny him safe farming while staying in range of tower protection.
- Avoid hard shoving as this gives him free farm and sets up ganks where his W can trap you far from safety.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight him when he has 3-4 graves ready as the ghoul spawn will quickly overwhelm you with their movement speed and damage.
- Don't get trapped by his W in extended trades, as you lack the burst to kill him before the ghouls and his Q sustain turn the fight.
