How to win lane as Zaahen against Yorick · 50.81% win rate over 1,177 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even — both farm with no ghoul pressure yet. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is even as Yorick still lacks his full ghoul-and-cage kit. |
| Level 3 | Yorick | Yorick takes level 3 when his E cage and ghoul swarm shred and heal him. |
| Levels 4-5 | Zaahen | Levels 4-5 favour you once you cleave ghouls and out-sustain his single-target Q. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even in the chart — your R answers his Maiden all-in if held. |
| First item | Yorick | First item favours Yorick as Maiden plus ghouls win the duel. |
| Two+ items | Yorick | Two items in his split-push and ghoul-backed duel keep him ahead. |
Level 1-2 is even farming — Yorick has no ghoul pressure yet, so last-hit cleanly and deny him free stacks. Don't shove mindlessly into his wall setups; keep the wave central and hold your Q for when he tries to Q-heal off a trade.
