How to win lane as Yorick against Yasuo · 51.33% win rate over 2,751 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yorick | Level 1 is yours — Wind Wall can't stop ghouls or Maiden and his shield is bypassed. |
| Level 2 | Yorick | Level 2 stays yours as your Q and E poke chunk him with no counterplay. |
| Level 3 | Yorick | Level 3 favours you — W cage plus ghouls trap him and force E charges. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yorick | Levels 4-5 remain yours with E slow denying his kiting through trades. |
| Level 6 | Yorick | Level 6 is yours because Last Breath is dead without a knockup you never give. |
| First item | Yorick | First item still favours you as ghouls ignore his shield and freezes hold. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | Two-plus items go to Yasuo — full crit and teamfight flanks finally out-scale you. |
Levels 1-2 are firmly yours — Yasuo's Wind Wall does nothing to your ghouls or Maiden, and his flow shield gets bypassed by pet damage. Poke him with Q and E every time he goes for a minion.
