How to win lane as Yorick against Gwen · 47.23% win rate over 1,029 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is an even farm start with neither champ threatening a kill. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At level 2 the trades stay balanced as your ghouls and her Q roughly cancel out. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | By level 3 it's still skill-dependent, decided by dashes and wall timing. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 remain even since her W and your wall trade off cleanly. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is a skill fight — Maiden pressures her but Hallowed Mist negates ghouls. |
| First item | Gwen | With first item Needlework's shred plus W immunity win Gwen the extended duel. |
| Two+ items | Gwen | In the 2+ item stage Gwen out-duels and out-splits you, so she owns the side lane. |
It's a dead-even farm lane through level 5 — neither of you kills the other cleanly; trade with ghouls and E-slow only when her Skip 'n Slash (E) is unavailable so she can't dance out of your wall.
