WDark Procession

EMourning Mist
Yorick throws a globule of Black Mist that reduces armor, damages, slows and marks enemies. Summoned units gain move speed when moving towards marked targets.
Practise the hit area and target conditions first. Do not spend the rest of your rotation automatically when the opening damage misses.
REulogy of the Isles
Yorick summons the Maiden of the Mist that causes Yorick's attacks against the Maiden's target to deal bonus damage. The Maiden will also automatically raise Walkers from dead enemies.
Practise the hit area and target conditions first. Do not spend the rest of your rotation automatically when the opening damage misses.
Yorick combos: execution and timing
AA = basic attack · EAA = empowered attack · 1/2/3 = cast stage. Follow the order, not instant key presses.
Follow up with Mourning Mist
- E
- W
- AA

With Yorick, start with Mourning Mist, then continue through Dark Procession → Basic attack → Last Rites. Set up Shepherd of Souls before the follow-up. Check where your summoned unit or seed is placed and whether the target is within its effective area.

Game plan by role
Yorick · Top
Keep trades short until you understand the opponent’s main cooldown. Check the minion wave before chasing and preserve a route back to your tower.
Decide between a side-lane push and joining the next objective. Push only as far as your vision and teammate positions allow.
Agree on your job before the fight: pressure a side, threaten a target or protect a carry. Save a key defensive tool when the enemy can turn on you.
Before your next fight, check: Last Rites · Eulogy of the Isles · Combos
06
Matchup preparation
Compare opponents in the build for the role you are actually playing. Then check their key control, escape and defensive spells before choosing your trade.
07
Practice checklist
- Cast each ability alone and identify its range, target conditions and stopping point.
- Practise the first sequence slowly. Repeat it while moving, without skipping the conditions shown on its card.
- After each attempt, identify the spell you would still have available to defend or retreat.
