 Jax | Even | 311 | 50% | -138 | -321 | Jax is a classic hard counter to Yorick. His E (Counter Strike) completely denies all of Yorick's auto-attack and ghoul damage, and he possesses high mobility and tankiness (R + Frozen Heart synergy). However, Yorick has outplay potential. | |

 Yone | Very Hard | 278 | 47% | +1 | -233 | Yone is a harder version of Yasuo with four dashes (Q3, E1, E2, R). Play safe during Levels 1-3 and slowly set up graves. After the four-grave setup, when he engages (Q3 or E1), respond with a point-blank E for an extended trade. Dodge his Qs by moving sporadically side to side, which is vital for avoiding his Q3. Use your W cage at the origin point of his dash (where he Q3'd from, or the return location of his E1). This forces him to use another dash to escape, or he dies. Be wary of his item spikes. Ignite, Randuin's Omen, and Steelcaps are highly suggested. | |
 Zaahen | Easy | 271 | 45% | +325 | +344 | ||
 Garen | Easy | 269 | 54% | +82 | -133 | Garen has a weak early game and is fundamentally countered by your wall. . Setup graves safely early and aim for long trades, kite him in and out of your W cage to minimize damage taken from his E. Be careful of the Level 6 Ignite cheese, as his ultimate deals true damage. Build armor if you're struggling. | |
 Mordekaiser | Easy | 250 | 50% | +102 | +768 | Mordekaiser is a difficult matchup, particularly post-Level 6. Pre-6, it's a standard lane: play for the four-grave setup, and when engaging, dodge his Q and E skills to win the all-in and gain a lead. Post-Level 6, ALWAYS save W for when he uses R (Death Realm). | |
 Aatrox | Easy | 236 | 47% | +17 | +385 | he struggles hard to kill your ghouls and Maiden because your pets take 50% reduced damage from his AOE Qs. This makes it easy for us to whittle him down. Early on (Levels 1-3), just chill and farm safely. | |
 Renekton | Hard | 226 | 54% | -496 | -238 | Renekton is one of the strongest early-game champions, with insane damage, sustain, and two dashes. However, his abilities have long cooldowns after his combo. The strategy is to bait him into using his full combo, then go for an extended trade looking for a solo kill. Do not engage with the four-grave setup; let him engage on you. Never fight him on full Fury, and respect him above 50 Fury. If he attempts to trade when you go for CS, always respond with a Q. Play relatively safe and scale until you reach two items, at which point you beat him. | |
 Sion | Easy | 224 | 52% | -58 | +407 | Sion is tanky but manageable. Use the side of your W cage to cancel his charged Q and to completely block his ultimate (R). Yorick easily shreds him due to Maiden's percent health damage and access to Sunderer. Play for the four-grave setup and aim for kills while prioritizing Q cancelation. Be careful as he can E your ghouls and Maiden, often trying to E Maiden into the tower. | |
