How to win lane as Lillia against Yorick · 49.84% win rate (953 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
He's a treadmill victim — Q the outer ring on every step-up and jog away from Dark Procession (Cage) forever.
Track: Yorick's W — Dark Procession (20–12s cooldown). The cage traps you with the ghoul swarm — sidestep or break it instantly.
Read from Lillia's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yorick.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yorick | You only have one ability and no kite chain, while his ghouls let him push and trade for free — concede the opener and farm with Q range. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Both of you are still thin, but Mourning Mist slows, shreds armour and marks you for the swarm — respect it rather than fight it. |
| Level 3 | Lillia | With Q sweetspots layered on the E slow and Dream Dust burn, your stacking move speed makes you uncatchable as you chip him. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Full Q rank plus the compounding DoT lets you grind down anyone who has to walk at you through ghouls — bait the E and kite the Maiden. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Lilting Lullaby sleeps Maiden or Yorick to blank a cage-collapse, but the delay keeps it even unless your jungler converts it. |
| First item | Even / skill | Your Liandry's/Riftmaker percent-HP spike climbs right as his splitpush clock starts — a real but contested window. |
| Two+ items | Yorick | His 2-item Maiden, E-cage zoning, and splitpush statcheck a side-lane 1v1 your hit-and-run kit can't win — group instead of dueling. |
Level 1 you're weak — one ability, no kite chain — so just farm with the tip of your Q and respect that his ghouls let him push and trade for free. The danger is his E: if that mist lands it slows you and lets him cage you against his ghoul swarm, so never sit in a straight line for it. Once you hit 2 and start layering Q sweetspots with the E slow and Dream Dust burn, your stacking move speed makes you uncatchable — chip him and slide out before his Maiden ghouls reach you.
