Yorick vs Kled

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Yorick is a scaling splitpusher who must build graves and keep Maiden alive to pressure Kled and towers effectively.
Yorick should avoid giving Kled early lane dominance by respecting his all-in windows and trading with prepared ghouls and (E) marks.
This is a scale-versus-early-fighter matchup where Yorick wins by surviving early aggression and enforcing side-lane pressure post-level 6.

Trading pattern

Start trades only when graves are ready and (E) can mark Kled to send ghouls for sustained damage.
Use (W) to trap Kled when he commits to trades, especially if his (W) burst is down or he is dismounted.
Avoid fighting without Maiden or ghouls active, as Yorick's damage and sustain drop significantly and Kled can punish aggressively.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (Q) tether is active and (W) is ready, as his burst and pull can quickly overwhelm Yorick.
Yorick is vulnerable if caught without graves or if (E) misses, reducing his ability to pressure or escape Kled's engage.
Avoid fighting near Kled's remount timing, as his effective health and aggression spike sharply then.

Early game

Focus on safely preparing graves before engaging to ensure ghouls assist trades against Kled's early aggression.
Avoid extended trades without ghouls or (E) marks, as Kled's burst with (W) and (Q) pull is dangerous early.
Use (E) to mark Kled and summon ghouls to punish his attempts to tether and burst before Maiden is available.

Power spikes

Yorick's level 6 (R) spike summons Maiden, greatly increasing side-lane pressure; protect Maiden to force Kled to respond.
Yorick's prepared ghoul setup combined with (E) marks creates strong pressure; use this to control trades and tower damage.
Respect Kled's level 2-3 window when (Q) tether and (W) burst are available; avoid extended trades during this early all-in phase.

Win conditions

Win by safely reaching level 6 to summon Maiden and apply sustained side-lane pressure that forces Kled to respond.
Use graves and (E) marks to set up ghouls and trap Kled with (W), punishing his all-in attempts and denying his early lane dominance.
Maintain Maiden alive to siege towers and create splitpush pressure that forces the enemy team to allocate resources away from Kled's engages.
