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 Jax

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Short trades

    Take a short trade, then back off: Relentless Assault (passive) increases his attack speed with each consecutive auto.

  2. Back off during Counter Strike

    During Counter Strike (E), back off instead of attacking: he dodges your autos, then stuns nearby enemies, dealing more damage per dodged auto.

  3. Trade after his E

    Trade right after Counter Strike (E): it's both his defense and his only stun, and it has a 17 to 9 second cooldown.

  4. Don't let him split push alone

    In the late game, don't leave his split push unanswered: send someone to hold his lane, or force an objective on the other side of the map.
