Read from Yorick's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against K'Sante.
This is Yorick's own plan; across 1,395 pooled games the lane is Yorick-favoured.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | You win Level 1 because your Q reset trade and heal beat his weak pre-charge Ntofo poke. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is skill: his first Ntofo charge lets him poke back, evening the trade. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is even as both hit power-item timings with no hard advantage yet. |
| Levels 4-5 | K'Sante | At 4-5 K'Sante's second Ntofo charge enables the wall-stun chain, tilting the window his way. |
| Level 6 | K'Sante | Your Level 6 Maiden and wraith wall flip the fight since they shred through his shields. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item favours you as Tiamat plus ghouls win every extended trade against his low base damage. |
| Two+ items | Yorick | With two items All Out K'Sante becomes a reset diver who R's you off your stack, so late goes to him. |
You out-trade the early levels: your Q resets heal and cleave while his Ntofo poke is weak before charges, so bully him and deny the wall setups.
