Playing as Yorick

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Prepare your graves

    Hit a champion or last-hit a minion with Last Rites (Q) to dig a grave: with three graves nearby, recast the spell to raise Mist Walkers from them.

  2. Mark your target with your Mist

    Hit your target with Mourning Mist (E): your nearby graves keep raising Mist Walkers, the target loses armor, and your units rush toward them.

  3. Wall in your target

    Trap your target in Dark Procession (W): the wall blocks enemies but not your allies, and your Mist Walkers hit them in the meantime.

  4. Split push with your Maiden

    After 10 seconds, recast Eulogy of the Isles (R) to send the Maiden of the Mist to push the nearest lane, but you lose a big part of your power.

Playing against Garen

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Hit him regularly

    Hit him regularly, even with a small poke: Perseverance (passive) only regenerates him if he hasn't taken damage recently.

  2. At range, kite him

    If you're ranged, kite him: his kit has no dash, and only Decisive Strike (Q) speeds him up and removes his slows.

  3. Burst after his shield

    Wait for the Courage (W) shield to end before your burst: the spell starts with a shield and tenacity, then keeps only a damage reduction.

  4. Don't stay low once he hits 6

    Once he hits level 6, back instead of staying in lane at low health against him: Demacian Justice (R) deals true damage that grows with your missing health.
