Favour timeline — the windows in Camille's game plan

Read from Camille's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yorick.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillYorick has a strong, safe level 1 with E-mist and a ghoul, and you only have one ability too — last-hit safely and don't waste your Q.
Level 2CamilleYour Q recast's true damage plus W's percent-HP slash and self-heal out-trade him before he stacks ghoul graves — start contesting his last-hits.
Level 3CamilleWith Q, W and a point in E you E-W-Q through him before Maiden exists — one combo out-damages his pre-6 sustain.
Levels 4-5CamilleNo Maiden yet and your W heal beats his ghoul-stack trades — but Last Rites heals him back, so force fights inside its 6s.
Level 6CamilleR seals him in the Hextech arena away from his ghouls and Maiden — a pure isolated 1v1 you win outright.
First itemCamilleYour first-item spike beats his pre-Maiden build — keep all-in-ing on his E and W cooldowns before he scales.
Two+ itemsYorickMaiden, the ghoul swarm and W walls zone the side lane and out-splitpush you past two items — play safe and end early.

How to beat Yorick as Camille: the early game

Yorick has a strong, safe level 1, so don't dump a lone Q into him while Mourning Mist is up — its 12s slow marks you for the ghouls and closes him onto you at the same time. Last-hit at range and wait for your level 2-3 spike. Once you have your Q recast (the second hit's bonus true damage) and a point in W, your percent-HP slash and self-heal win every short trade before Shepherd of Souls banks four graves — just watch the Last Rites wind-up, because that 6s auto-reset heals him straight through your chip.
