Read from Fiora's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yorick.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Fiora | Yorick is a slow, dash-less level-1 with only ghoul chip — your Q-Vital poke and chained Lunges win every short trade before Maiden exists. |
| Level 2 | Fiora | Bait his E (Mourning Mist) and the ghouls have nothing to leash to, so you free-trade and Q the Vital while he has no follow-up. |
| Level 3 | Fiora | Bladework's slow-into-guaranteed-crit plus a Vital chunks him through his ghouls — your cleanest window before Maiden spawns. |
| Levels 4-5 | Fiora | You chain low-cooldown Lunges off Vital procs and out-sustain his ghoul chip; engage whenever his E slow is down. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Grand Challenge marks all four Vitals and the heal zone wins the all-in while his W wall and ult-summon are on cooldown. |
| First item | Fiora | Ravenous Hydra plus your Q-chain clears his ghouls and kills him before Maiden's stacks tilt the duel. |
| Two+ items | Yorick | Yorick out-scales: full Maiden, a stocked ghoul cage off E, and W-wall side pressure win the split you can't contest alone. |
Yorick's trade hinges on E (Mourning Mist) — the spirit he throws to slow you and mark you so his ghouls leash on and his autos catch up. Don't eat E for free: bait it, sidestep, and the ghoul swarm has nothing to leash to, then you Q the Vital, Bladework-crit, and win the trade clean before Maiden ever spawns. He's one of the slowest dash-less melees in the game, so once you're on him he can't disengage. Riposte is best held for his actual commit — parry an auto or the ghoul burst during your all-in rather than wasting it on the slow — and tap his ghouls with a Q if they zone your last-hits.
