| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Even on skill at 1: your P on-hit trades against his ghoul zoning. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays a skill trade around his E slow and ghoul stacks. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is even as his cage and ghouls meet your Q poke and burst. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 remain skill-dependent around Maiden timing and your dodges. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 favours you: your R totem executes the immobile Yorick before Maiden peels. |
| First item | Locke | First item swings back to skill as his Maiden and ghoul wall come online. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late stays even-to-skill as his split pressure balances your execute picks. |
Skill matchup early: Yorick's ghouls and E slow zone you, but your P Silver Stake on-hit and Q poke punish him if you avoid the cage and don't feed ghoul stacks. Trade in short windows and back off the Maiden.
