Yorick vs Sion

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Yorick aims to control the side lane by setting up graves and using Maiden to pressure towers, forcing Sion to respond.
Maintain medium lane pressure to deny Sion a passive scaling lane and prevent him from safely stacking health with his shield.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades only when graves are prepared and (E) successfully marks Sion to maximize damage and healing.
Use (W) to trap Sion when he is immobile or after he uses (Q) to punish his cooldown.
Avoid fighting when Maiden is dead or (E) misses, as Yorick's threat significantly drops.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Sion has a fully charged (Q) ready, especially from fog or brush angles, to avoid knockup and burst trades.
Respect the timing when (R) is available for long-range engages; maintain spacing and avoid being lined up.
Avoid extended trades when (W) shield is up, as it reduces damage and sustain, making trades unfavorable.

Early game

Focus on preparing graves before engaging to maximize ghouls' pressure and healing from (Q).
Avoid fighting without graves or ghouls ready to prevent losing trades early.
Use (E) to mark Sion and send ghouls for poke and wave control, respecting his (Q) charge threat.

Power spikes

At level 6, summon Maiden (R) to increase side-lane pressure and duel potential; protect her to force Sion to respond.
After preparing graves and landing (E), use ghouls and (W) to trap and pressure Sion, exploiting his low mobility.
Respect Sion's level 6 (R) engage and charged (Q) knockup; avoid predictable positioning to reduce all-in risk.

Win conditions

Use graves, (E) marks, and Maiden to establish sustained side-lane pressure and force Sion to answer, creating map pressure.
Trap Sion with (W) when he is immobile or after key cooldowns to win trades and convert pressure into tower damage.
Maintain Maiden alive to maximize splitpush threat, forcing Sion's team to respond and opening opportunities for objectives or teamplay.
