How to win lane as Trundle against Yorick · 58.61% win rate over 302 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Trundle | Yorick has zero ghouls at level 1 — Chomp his AD on the opening trade and King's Tribute heals you off the wave, putting him immediately on the back foot before his grave mechanic is relevant. |
| Level 2 | Trundle | At level 2 you gain Frozen Domain or Pillar and he might have one ghoul; your W movement bonus lets you stick to him through his slow and the bite continues bleeding his Attack Damage. |
| Level 3 | Trundle | Level 3 with Q+W+E your all-in is complete and his ghoul count is still sparse — Pillar cuts off his retreat, Frozen Domain keeps you on him, and Chomp stacks the AD steal for the duration of the fight. |
| Levels 4-5 | Trundle | Levels 4-5 his cage (W) is the sole danger window; engage only when Dark Procession is on cooldown and you out-trade him cleanly in extended W-domain fights the rest of the time. |
| Level 6 | Trundle | Level 6 Subjugate drains Yorick's armor and MR directly onto you mid-duel — combined with Frozen Domain healing and the continuous AD steal from Chomp, he cannot kill you in this power window. |
| First item | Trundle | First item Iceborn Gauntlet's Spellblade slow on each Chomp ensures Yorick cannot walk out of your domain once he is inside, turning every trade into the extended duel you win. |
| Two+ items | Yorick | Past two items Yorick's Maiden operates independently and his cage-plus-swarm pressure peaks — if you did not close the game, respect the Maiden as a separate threat and kill it immediately after any successful duel. |
At level 1 hit Chomp immediately on every auto trade — you are already stealing his Attack Damage and healing off the minion wave through King's Tribute before he has a single ghoul. Yorick's graves require minion deaths to stack and his E (Mourning Mist) summons ghouls only after he has built them, so the first two minutes are the leanest his kit will ever be. Push him off the wave if he tries to last-hit at close range and make him spend graves inefficiently. By level 3 you have Q+W+E and he might have two or three ghouls at best — drop Frozen Domain, Chomp his AD down, and walk him into your Pillar if he tries to back away. He cannot out-trade your sustained bite-and-heal loop at this stage.
