Poppy vs Yorick

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use terrain to threaten (E) wall stuns and hold (W) to block Yorick's cage engages.
Control the lane by denying Yorick's setup time for graves and Maiden to limit his scaling pressure.
This is a control vs splitpush matchup where Poppy must disrupt Yorick's side-lane threat and prevent calm scaling.

Trading pattern

Trade around (E) mark and ghouls by using (W) to deny his cage and (E) to stun near walls.
Punish Yorick when he overextends without graves or Maiden by engaging short trades with (Q) and passive shield.
Avoid fighting away from walls where (E) stun threat is weak and Yorick's ranged poke can whittle you down.

Danger windows

Yorick is dangerous when his ghouls are ready and (E) successfully marks you, enabling sustained damage.
Be cautious when Yorick traps you in (W) cage without your (W) available to stop his engage.
Yorick's pressure spikes when Maiden is alive and pushing; avoid extended fights or tower dives during this time.

Early game

Start with short trades using (Q) and passive shield while positioning near walls for (E) opportunities.
Avoid early (W) usage until Yorick commits a dash or cage attempt to maximize its anti-engage value.
Pressure Yorick early to prevent him from safely setting graves and preparing ghouls for trades.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to disengage or isolate Yorick or his Maiden, resetting bad fights and controlling engagements.
After your first tank item, hold (W) for dashes and fight near walls to maximize durability and crowd control.
Respect Yorick's level 6 spike with Maiden alive; focus on killing Maiden quickly to reduce his sustained pressure.

Win conditions

Use (W) to block Yorick's cage and (E) to stun near walls, punishing his immobility and low mobility.
Leverage your (R) to remove Maiden or isolate Yorick in fights, controlling skirmons and preventing his splitpush impact.
