Read from Pantheon's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yorick.
This is Pantheon's own plan; across 1,304 pooled games the lane is leaning Yorick.
| 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, Aegis Assault eats Mourning Mist and the ghouls head-on while Shield Vault stuns for the kill. |
| 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 has one of the weakest level 1s in the game and you have one of the strongest — open with the point-and-click Shield Vault stun and a tapped Comet Spear for the reset, and shove him off his grave stacks. At 2 and 3 your empowered-Q poke plus the W-stun all-in flat out-trades him before Maiden exists; Mourning Mist is the armour-shredding slow (12s at rank 1) and Dark Procession (20s) is the cage — eat the mist on Aegis Assault, then vault in while both are down. Do not let him free-stack graves — every wave he scales, and your whole case is winning these first three levels.
