How to win lane as Pantheon against Yorick · 48.03% win rate over 1,041 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | Yorick is one of the weakest level 1s and your point-and-click W stun deals damage he cannot answer or trade back into. |
| Level 2 | Pantheon | Your level 2 W+Q spike all-ins him before Maiden or ghoul stacks exist to bail him out. |
| Level 3 | Pantheon | With all three basics you E-block his E-mist auto-poke and W-stun for a real kill while his sustain is still minimal. |
| Levels 4-5 | Pantheon | Empowered-Q poke and E damage-blocks keep you ahead as he tries to stabilize on graves and farm. |
| Level 6 | Pantheon | Grand Starfall is built for cross-map roams more than a 1v1, so you press tempo elsewhere rather than fight his Maiden head-on. |
| First item | Even / skill | His Maiden and ghoul economy are now online enough to trade evenly into your first item — neither side cleanly owns the side lane here. |
| Two+ items | Yorick | He hard out-scales: E-cage plus W wall plus Maiden + ghoul swarm out-DPS your shields and win the splitpush — play safe and group. |
Yorick is one of the weakest pure level 1s in the game and you are one of the strongest — open with point-and-click W stun and a tapped Q for the reset and shove him off his ghoul grave-stacks. At 2 and 3 your empowered-Q poke plus the W-stun all-in flat out-trades him before Maiden exists; bait his E mist (the soul-cage slow he poke-procs with autos) by pre-loading your E block in that direction, then W in. Do not let him free-stack graves and free-farm — every wave he scales, and your whole case is winning these first three levels.
