Read from K'Sante's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yorick.
This is K'Sante's own plan; across 1,395 pooled games the lane is Yorick-favoured.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | He has only Last Rites at level 1 too, but Mist Walkers and Mourning Mist poke free — last-hit at Q tip, out of 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 | Even / skill | Your Q-W is online — W-charge through Mourning Mist's slow for the stun, then the Ntofo pull, before Maiden exists. |
| Levels 4-5 | K'Sante | You out-trade a Yorick who must path past his own ghouls, banking leads on Mourning Mist's 12s 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 makes you durable enough to dive his wave, but Maiden's sustained DPS answers it — genuinely contested. |
| Two+ items | Yorick | Maiden, ghouls and Dark Procession's wall let him 1v1 through your armour and split faster than your team answers. |
Level 1 you have only Q, no engage, and walking into ghoul range just lets him stack Mourning Mist on you for free — last-hit at the tip of your Q and concede the level. The lane flips at 3 once your kit is online: bait Mourning Mist, 12s at rank 1, then W-charge through the slow for the stun and pull him in with the 2-stack Ntofo. Watch his auto wind-up — Last Rites is an attack reset that heals him, so carry Grievous Wounds.
