Dodge his cage — Q-pull him off Maiden.

Read from Kled's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yorick.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Neither of you wants to fight at 1 — he has no ghouls and you want to save Skaarl's mount health, so just deny his Q last-hits. |
| Level 2 | Kled | Your W's on-hit shotgun shots come online and out-trade a Yorick with no Maiden or ghoul wave yet. |
| Level 3 | Kled | The full E-W-E re-dash combo with W procs deletes him before Dark Procession (W) can wall off your dash. |
| Levels 4-5 | Kled | Your remount sustain and percent-HP Q out-trade his ghoul chip while his Maiden is still on cooldown. |
| Level 6 | Kled | R knocks him out of his own E cage or dives past Maiden, giving you a guaranteed all-in he can't answer. |
| First item | Kled | Your Eclipse/Trinity Sheen burst plus Q yanks shred him before he can wall you off with W and cage you with E. |
| Two+ items | Yorick | He out-scales hard — Maiden plus a full ghoul swarm and his E mist zone you off the side lane, so play for your early lead and let your team deal with his split. |
Level 1 is a wash — neither of you wants to commit, so deny his Last Rites last-hits and protect Skaarl's health bar. The lane flips at 2 and 3: once your W shotgun shots and the E-W-E re-dash are online, you out-burst a Yorick who has no ghouls or Maiden yet. Throw Q to stick the trap and slow, yank yourself in, and unload before Dark Procession (W) walls off your dash. Dodge Mourning Mist (E) — it shreds your armour, slows you and sends his ghouls sprinting at you.

Kled takes Conqueror on the Precision tree with Triumph, Legend: Alacrity and Last Stand, and Resolve secondary (Bone Plating and Unflinching) vs Yorick.
Start Doran's Blade + Health Potion and back for Executioner's Calling (≈800g) — cuts his healing. Build Eclipse (burst + all-in sustain) first, then Sterak's Gage, with Plated Steelcaps.
