Aurora vs Yorick

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Aurora is a mobile mage assassin focused on burst and picks who must pressure Yorick to deny his calm scaling lane.
Expect a medium lane pressure from Aurora aiming to disrupt Yorick's side-lane setup and force teamfights.
Manage lane to prevent Yorick from preparing graves and summoning Maiden, as this enables his splitpush and tower pressure.

Trading pattern

Use (Q) + (E) + (Q) burst combos to trade quickly before Yorick can summon ghouls or trap you with (W).
Punish Yorick when his (E) misses or when ghouls are not prepared by stepping forward aggressively.
Avoid trading immediately after using (W) or when (E) is on cooldown, as Yorick can punish your limited escape options.

Danger windows

Yorick is dangerous when ghouls are ready and (E) marks you; maintain spacing to avoid being locked down.
Be cautious after using (W) since Aurora has no quick escape and Yorick can trap with (W) cage.
Yorick's Maiden alive creates sustained pressure; avoid extended fights near towers when Maiden is present.

Early game

Use early levels to poke with (Q) and reposition with (E) to avoid Yorick's low mobility and slow setup.
Avoid extended trades after using (W) since Aurora lacks quick escape and Yorick can punish.
Keep the wave on your side to contest Yorick's ghoul setup and prevent him from safely building pressure.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) for high mobility and burst to pick Yorick or roam; track Yorick's Maiden to time all-ins.
After first AP burst item, increase pressure on Yorick's wave and trades, forcing him to miss graves and Maiden setups.
Respect Yorick's level 6 when Maiden is summoned; avoid fighting near her and focus on killing Maiden quickly to reduce his pressure.

Win conditions

Use verified cooldown windows and your (R) to pick off Yorick before he sets up graves and Maiden.
Deny Yorick's calm scaling by pressuring waves and forcing fights before his side-lane pressure becomes a threat.
Transition into teamfights leveraging your mobility and burst to flank and disrupt, preventing Yorick from splitpushing effectively.
