Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillNeither 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 2KledYour W's on-hit shotgun shots come online and out-trade a Yorick with no Maiden or ghoul wave yet.
Level 3KledThe full E-W-E re-dash combo with W procs deletes him before his E mist cage can trap your dash.
Levels 4-5KledYour remount sustain and percent-HP Q out-trade his ghoul chip while his Maiden is still on cooldown.
Level 6KledR knocks him out of his own E cage or dives past Maiden, giving you a guaranteed all-in he can't answer.
First itemKledYour Eclipse/Trinity Sheen burst plus Q yanks shred him before he can wall you off with W and cage you with E.
Two+ itemsYorickHe 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.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Level 1 is a wash — neither of us wants to commit, so just deny his Q 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 his E mist can cage your dash. Dodge his E — if he lands the cage on you while dismounted, his autos and ghouls will chunk you, so all-in BEFORE he can box you.
