How to win lane as Sejuani against Yorick · 48.65% win rate over 111 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yorick | Yorick's Last Rites spawns a ghoul on minion kills at level 1 — he builds ghoul pressure at the wave line before Arctic Assault exists, so give him the early boundary. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Dark Procession arrives but so does your Q — the cage cooldown is your engagement timer; if it is unclear, hold Q as an exit. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Full W-W into E Permafrost is your first real punish window — bait the cage, sidestep it, then commit the full chain while he has no answer. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yorick | His juggernaut base stats and sustained ghoul DPS outpace your unitemized resistances — farm, track Dark Procession, and wait for 6. |
| Level 6 | Sejuani | Glacial Prison lets you stun him from outside cage range — every gank you receive converts instantly through the R into E Permafrost CC chain. |
| First item | Even / skill | Sunfire Aegis burn punishes Maiden and ghoul clustering in melee range; neutral trades tip your way but he still has enough raw damage to respect. |
| Two+ items | Yorick | Maiden of the Mist and full juggernaut itemization make the solo 1v1 unsafe — shift entirely to teamfight anchoring and let your CC decide objectives. |
Level 1 is his — Yorick's Last Rites spawns a ghoul on each kill and he can immediately apply ghoul pressure to the wave boundary before you have Q. Take W first, hit minions, and stay at your tower-side edge so his ghoul swarm has no angle to surround you. At level 2 you get Arctic Assault but his Dark Procession is also coming online: do not Q into him until you can confirm the cage is on cooldown, or you will be stunned inside it with a ghoul pack on top of you. Level 3 lets you run W into W into E Permafrost — that full chain is your first real trade. Bait his cage forward with a W poke, sidestep it, then Q knock-up into the double W sweep and Permafrost stun while he has no answer up.
