How to win lane as K'Sante against Yorick · 48.7% win rate over 690 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | He has only Q at level 1 too, but his ghouls and E mist let him poke for free — last-hit at Q tip and don't walk into ghoul range. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | He picks up W wall or E cage; you pick up W or E to become safer, but neither side has a clean kill yet, so it stays even. |
| Level 3 | K'Sante | Your full Q-W combo is online — W-charge through his E slow to land the stun, then Q3 knock-up before Maiden exists. |
| Levels 4-5 | K'Sante | You out-trade a Yorick who must path past his own ghouls, and you bank leads around his E cage cooldown. |
| Level 6 | K'Sante | All Out dashes you through him and survives the ghoul-swarm burst to win the 1v1 before he stacks a full Maiden. |
| First item | Even / skill | Iceborn Gauntlet makes you durable enough to dive his wave and force the all-in while his E is on cooldown. |
| Two+ items | Yorick | Full Maiden + ghouls + W wall let him 1v1 through your armor and splitpush faster than your R-peel team answers. |
Level 1 you have only Q, no engage, and walking into ghoul range just lets him stack E mist on you for free — last-hit at the tip of your Q and concede the level. The lane flips at 3 once your full kit is online: bait his E (it slows and cages, but if you W-charge into the slow you become unstoppable and the stun still lands), then Q3 to knock him up. His ghouls don't matter if you only commit when Maiden isn't up — that's the whole early game.
