Yorick vs Aurelion Sol

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Yorick aims to control the lane with prepared graves and (E) marks to pressure Aurelion Sol and force him out of safe farming.
This is a splitpush vs scaling matchup where Yorick must deny Aurelion Sol a calm scaling lane by aggressive ghoul setup and side pressure.

Trading pattern

Trade aggressively when ghouls are ready and (E) successfully marks Aurelion Sol to maximize damage.
Use (W) to trap Aurelion Sol if he is immobile or mispositioned, enabling strong trades or tower pressure.
Avoid trading when Maiden is dead or (E) misses, as Yorick's damage and pressure drop significantly.

Danger windows

Yorick is vulnerable when Maiden is dead and graves are not prepared, losing pressure and trade potential.
Beware of Aurelion Sol's poke and waveclear with (E) into (Q) especially after his first item; avoid extended trades then.
Be cautious around Aurelion Sol's upgraded ultimate timing and item spikes, as his teamfight and chase pressure increase.

Early game

Prioritize preparing graves before engaging to maximize ghouls' pressure on Aurelion Sol.
Use (E) to mark Aurelion Sol and follow up with ghouls to punish his weak early game.
Avoid fighting without graves or Maiden as Yorick's early agency is low and Aurelion Sol can poke safely otherwise.

Power spikes

At level 6, summon Maiden (R) to increase splitpush threat and duel power; protect her to maintain lane pressure.
When graves are prepared and (E) marks are applied, use ghouls to heavily pressure Aurelion Sol and force wave control.
Respect Aurelion Sol's scaling spikes after 75+ stacks on his ultimate and Rylai's completion by playing safe and denying him free farm.

Win conditions

Use grave preparation, (E) marking, and Maiden presence to force Aurelion Sol to answer side-lane pressure and deny his scaling.
Trap Aurelion Sol with (W) when he mispositions to secure kills or force summoner spells.
Maintain sustained tower pressure with Maiden and ghouls to snowball side-lane advantages and impact the map.
