Nasus into Yorickmedium

Overview

Prioritize safe stacking early to reach your scaling threshold against Yorick's medium lane pressure.
Accept low early lane agency and avoid letting Yorick set up graves and Maiden pressure.
Focus on outlasting Yorick in extended side-lane fights using slow and durability.

Trading pattern

Trade only when Yorick's cage is down or you can slow him with and follow up with stacked hits.
Clear Yorick's graves and Maiden quickly to reduce his pressure.
Use to extend fights when you have enough stacks and Yorick cannot kite effectively.

Danger windows

Yorick is most dangerous when his ghouls are prepared and marks you; avoid fighting inside his setup.
Be cautious when cage is available to trap you, especially if you lack slow to disengage.
Early levels before and meaningful stacks leave you vulnerable to Yorick's poke and side-lane pressure.

Early game

Keep the wave near your side to farm safely and avoid Yorick's grave setups.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 and before meaningful stacks.
Use to slow Yorick when he overcommits, but don't waste it if he can disengage easily.

Power spikes

At level 6, activate to survive Yorick's sustained pressure and force respect.
Once you reach a high stack threshold, pressure the side lane to force unfavorable duels.
Respect Yorick's level 6 when Maiden is alive, as his side-lane pressure and tower threat spike sharply.

Win conditions

Survive early lane without losing too many stacks, then leverage slow and durability to win extended duels.
Clear Yorick's graves and Maiden to deny his splitpush pressure and force him into unfavorable fights.
Reach high stacks and pressure side lanes to force Yorick's team to respond, creating space for your team.
