Yorick into Nasusmedium

Overview

Only trade when graves are ready and successfully marks Nasus for ghouls to hit.
Use cage to trap Nasus when he can't escape and punish his low mobility.
Avoid fighting without Maiden alive or when misses, as damage and pressure drop sharply.

Beware Nasus's slow and durability during extended fights post-level 6.
Yorick is vulnerable when Maiden is dead or graves are not prepared, losing pressure and trade power.
Avoid prolonged trades if Nasus has high stacks and active.

Prepare graves before engaging to maximize trade damage and punish Nasus's weak early presence.
Use to mark Nasus and send ghouls for sustained damage.
Avoid extended trades before level 6; instead, focus on wave pressure and Maiden setup.

At level 6, summon Maiden and use her to force waves and tower pressure; protect her at all costs.
Graves plus mark create strong pressure windows to punish Nasus's low early agency.
Respect Nasus's level 6 and stacking threshold; avoid extended fights when active and stacked.

Deny Nasus safe stacking by applying early pressure with graves, marks, and traps.
Use Maiden and ghouls to force side-lane pressure, compelling Nasus or his team to respond.
Sustain splitpush presence to capitalize on Yorick's scaling and force Nasus into unfavorable duels or team responses.
