Yorick vs Mordekaiser

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Yorick aims to control the lane through prepared graves, (E) marks, and sustained side-lane pressure with Maiden.
Prioritize denying Mordekaiser's extended trades by forcing fights around your ghoul setup and avoiding isolation where his (R) punishes.

Trading pattern

Set up graves and land (E) to trigger ghouls, then use (W) to trap Mordekaiser when he is immobile.
Punish Mordekaiser after he misses (E) by stepping forward with prepared ghouls.
Avoid fighting without Maiden alive or when (E) misses, as your pressure and damage drop significantly.

Danger windows

Mordekaiser is dangerous when (E) lands and sets up isolated (Q) hits; avoid being pulled and isolated.
Beware of (R) realm, which forces isolated duels; keep distance and avoid solo fights post-6.
Be cautious during extended trades if Maiden is down or graves are not prepared, as your threat is reduced.

Early game

Focus on building graves before engaging; avoid fighting without ghouls ready.
Use (E) to mark Mordekaiser and send ghouls to pressure before level 6.
Avoid extended trades early to minimize Mordekaiser's passive damage and (E) pull threat.

Power spikes

At level 6, protect Maiden and use her to force wave and tower pressure.
Exploit Mordekaiser's missed (E) pull windows to initiate trades with ghouls.
Respect Mordekaiser's level 6 (R) isolation by avoiding fights when he can force duels without your team.

Win conditions

Use graves, ghouls, and Maiden to create sustained side-lane pressure and force Mordekaiser to respond.
Trap Mordekaiser with (W) when he is immobile and use (E) marks to maximize ghouls' damage.
Maintain Maiden alive to siege towers and force Mordekaiser into unfavorable fights, leveraging your splitpush identity.
