Renekton vs Yorick

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Renekton must use early lane pressure and high fury trades to deny Yorick his scaling and setup time.
Prioritize controlling the wave and forcing short trades before Yorick can prepare graves and summon Maiden.

Trading pattern

Trade only when fury is high and (W) stun is available to burst Yorick before he can summon ghouls.
Punish (E) mark cooldown by engaging when it's down to avoid his ghouls' damage.
Use short burst trades with (E)+(W)+(Q) and exit with second (E) to avoid getting caught in his (W) cage or prolonged fights.

Danger windows

Yorick is most dangerous when ghouls are ready and (E) mark is active, enabling him to pressure and trap you.
Avoid fighting near (W) cage without an escape route, especially if your second (E) dash is on cooldown.
Be cautious post-level 6 when Yorick has Maiden alive, as his sustained pressure and tower threat increase significantly.

Early game

Use level 1-3 to aggressively stack fury and execute quick (E)+(W) empowered trades before Yorick's minion setup is ready.
Avoid extended fights without fury or after using both (E) dashes, as Yorick's sustained damage and ghouls punish overcommit.
Reset trades by dashing out with second (E) to maintain lane control and prevent Yorick from trapping you with (W).

Power spikes

At level 3, use full (Q)+(W)+(E) combo with high fury for lethal short trades before Yorick's setup.
At level 6, activate (R) to increase durability and convert short trades into all-ins or dives when Yorick is low.
Respect Yorick's level 6 when Maiden is alive; avoid extended trades under tower where his pressure is strongest.

Win conditions

Snowball early by dominating levels 1-6 with fury-powered trades and denying Yorick's grave and ghoul setups.
Use (R) to force all-ins or dives when Yorick is low or trapped, preventing him from scaling safely.
Maintain lane priority to crush waves and take plates before Yorick can establish side-lane pressure with Maiden.
