Read from Yorick's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Gragas.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Gragas | Gragas out-ranges you at level 1 with Barrel Roll and his passive keeps him healthy through your poke. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | By level 2-3 your ghouls arrive and match his poke, making it a skill lane. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 stays even as neither champ can commit a clean kill yet. |
| Levels 4-5 | Gragas | At levels 4-5 max-rank Barrel Roll poke and his Body Slam mobility tilt trades back to Gragas. |
| Level 6 | Yorick | Level 6 flips to you — Maiden's DPS plus ghouls overwhelm his sustain and Cask can't clear the wall. |
| First item | Yorick | With first item your dueling outpaces his utility-focused kit, favouring Yorick. |
| Two+ items | Yorick | In the 2+ item stage Gragas can't 1v1 your ghoul-and-Maiden squad, so you own the side lane. |
Gragas edges level 1 with his Barrel Roll (Q) range and passive sustain, out-poking your Last Rites before you have ghouls, so farm safely and don't walk into barrels.
