Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1YorickYou 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 2Even / skillBoth of you are still thin, but his E mist can slow-and-cage you into the swarm, so it's a coin-flip you respect rather than fight.
Level 3LilliaWith Q sweetspots layered on the E slow and Dream Dust burn, your stacking move speed makes you uncatchable as you chip him.
Levels 4-5LilliaFull 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 6Even / skillLilting Lullaby sleeps Maiden or Yorick to blank a cage-collapse, but the delay keeps it even unless your jungler converts it.
First itemEven / skillYour Liandry's/Riftmaker percent-HP spike climbs right as his splitpush clock starts — a real but contested window.
Two+ itemsYorickHis 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.

Early game (levels 1–5)

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.
