Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades through superior mobility and sustained damage, as Yorick lacks reliable gap close and his Q has significant cooldown early.
- Post-6 you maintain advantage since your R allows you to engage/disengage at will while Yorick's R requires setup time and minion waves to be truly threatening.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves using E to engage when Yorick uses Q on minions, then Q3-W-AA combo before returning to safety with E2.
- Avoid extended trades when his ghouls are up, as they provide significant sustained damage that can turn favorable trades against you.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain a slow push or freeze near your tower to deny Yorick's ability to build up graves for ghouls.
- Hard shoving is risky as it gives him free grave generation and potential tower dives with his R, while also leaving you vulnerable to ganks in the long lane.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight Yorick when he has 3+ ghouls up and his W available, as the combined damage and wall trap creates kill pressure even when you're ahead.
- Don't use your E aggressively when his R is available, as Maiden's damage amplification can make your return trip lethal.
