How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge his E

His E is a cone slow — if it lands while you're stuck in his cage, his ghouls do a ton of damage, so dodge it.

Q Grasp trades

Dodge the E and just run at him for a Q Grasp trade — you win those easily.

Win early, he scales

Play at least a bit aggressively early since Yorick is very weak early but outscales you.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never Q in blind — if he hits his E and his cage together, he can one-shot you.
