Yorick vs Urgot

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Yorick aims to control the lane by preparing graves and using (E) to mark Urgot, then applying side-lane pressure with Maiden and ghouls.
Manage lane pressure to avoid giving Urgot easy ranged poke windows and respect his (E) flip threat to prevent dangerous all-ins.
This is a scale and splitpush matchup where Yorick must build setup before forcing fights or tower pressure.

Trading pattern

Start trades by setting graves, then land (E) to mark Urgot and send ghouls for sustained damage.
Use (W) cage to trap Urgot when he is marked and ghouls are active to lock him down for damage and tower pressure.
Avoid trading when (E) misses or graves are not ready, as Yorick's damage and pressure drop significantly.

Danger windows

(E) flip and shield combo creates a high-risk window; avoid engaging or using (W) cage when (E) is up.
Be cautious when Urgot's passive legs are active around you, as they add sustained damage and punish close trades.
(R) execute can turn fights at low health; keep health above execute thresholds and avoid risky trades near this window.

Early game

Focus on building graves early before engaging Urgot to maximize ghouls' pressure and healing from (Q).
Avoid fighting when graves or Maiden are not ready, as Yorick has low early agency against Urgot's poke and (E) flip.
Use (E) to mark Urgot and follow up only when ghouls are prepared to punish him effectively.

Power spikes

At level 6, summon Maiden (R) to greatly increase side-lane pressure and duel potential; protect her to force Urgot to respond.
Yorick's prepared ghouls combined with (E) marking create strong pressure; set graves before marking targets to maximize damage.
Respect Urgot's level 6 (R) execute threat and his (E) flip cooldown; avoid committing when these are available to prevent lethal trades.

Win conditions

Win by setting up graves and landing (E) to deploy ghouls, then trap Urgot with (W) while Maiden pressures towers.
Force Urgot to respond to side-lane pressure, denying him safe scaling and creating opportunities for objectives.
Protect Maiden to maintain sustained push and duel power, leveraging Yorick's splitpush identity to control the game pace.
