Yorick vs Trundle

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Yorick aims to control the side lane by setting up graves and using Maiden to pressure towers and force Trundle to respond.
Manage lane pressure carefully to avoid extended fights inside (W) zone where he gains healing and attack speed.
This is a splitpush versus splitpush matchup where Yorick must leverage Maiden and ghouls to outscale Trundle's dueling and stat-steal.

Trading pattern

Trade only when graves are ready and (E) lands to maximize damage and healing.
Use (W) to trap Trundle when he is marked and ghouls are present to punish his low mobility.
Avoid fighting inside (W) zone to reduce his sustain and attack speed advantage.

Danger windows

Yorick is vulnerable when graves and Maiden are unavailable; avoid trades without these resources.
Trundle is most dangerous inside his (W) zone; avoid extended fights in this area.
Be cautious when (E) misses, as ghouls won't pressure effectively, leaving Yorick exposed.

Early game

Focus on preparing graves before engaging to maximize ghouls' pressure and healing from (Q).
Avoid extended trades early when Trundle has (W) active to prevent his healing advantage.
Use (E) to mark Trundle and summon ghouls for poke and wave control before level 6.

Power spikes

At level 6, (R) summons Maiden, greatly increasing side lane pressure; protect Maiden to force Trundle to respond.
Yorick's prepared ghouls combined with (E) mark create strong pressure windows; set graves first, then engage.
Respect Trundle's level 6 (R) which steals resistances and health; avoid extended fights when it is active on you.

Win conditions

Win by maintaining grave and Maiden setups to pressure towers and force Trundle into unfavorable fights.
Trap Trundle with (W) when he is marked by (E) and ghouls are ready to punish his low mobility.
Deny Trundle extended trades inside his (W) and use side lane pressure to create team advantages through splitpush.
