How to win lane as Renekton against Yorick · 54.39% win rate (2,576 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Bully early — dodge his cage, snowball.
Track: Yorick's W — Dark Procession (20–12s cooldown). Traps you for the ghouls. Don’t get caged.
Read from Renekton's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yorick.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Renekton | Yorick's level 1 is Mist-stacking autos and W poke — match his auto range for Fury without letting him build three free ghoul stacks before you have E. |
| Level 2 | Renekton | E-in W-stun Q-heal before Dark Procession (W) lands is your hardest early window — he has no answer to a clean stun-trade at level 2. |
| Level 3 | Renekton | All three abilities online and Dark Procession on cooldown means he cannot cage you mid-combo; shove and deny his Last Rites (Q) heal on the wave. |
| Levels 4-5 | Renekton | He stacks Mist steadily but has no mobility to escape a Fury-stocked all-in; force a trade every time the cage is down and you have 50+ Fury. |
| Level 6 | Renekton | Dominus HP buffer absorbs ghoul-swarm burst and Fury acceleration gives back-to-back empowered Ws — kill him before Maiden spawns if at all possible. |
| First item | Renekton | Your Sundered Sky healing and Stride Breaker CC out-trade his pre-Maiden kit; his items come online slower, so keep forcing all-ins while the lead holds. |
| Two+ items | Yorick | Maiden plus full ghouls turns the side lane into a 2v1 that your kit cannot cleanly win — bank the lead earlier and rotate rather than fighting his setup. |
You have the cleaner kit at every level here. At level 1 he wants to stack Mist with Last Rites (Q) autos — respect his AA range but do not give him free stacks; match his autos and Fury up. At level 2 you spike harder than he does: E through him, W-stun before he can drop Dark Procession (W), Q-heal back. The critical habit is reading that cast — if the cage goes down first, hold your E and back off, because fighting inside it with three ghouls chewing you is a losing trade. It is 20s at rank 1, so wait it out.

Start Doran's Blade + Health Potion and back for Executioner's Calling (≈800g) — cuts his healing. Build Eclipse (burst + early bully curve) first, then Sterak's Gage, with Plated Steelcaps.
