Lets now start with our OP Yorick Build guide and how to win games easier than ever!

Before we start with the detailed explanation about RUNES and ITEMS that will make this champion a monster, you need to understand that Yorick is an unique champion that got so many tools to literally be called an one-man army, 4 Ghouls and 1 Maiden that together with the combination of runes-items will make Yorick to be totally unstoppable, while doing an insanely big DAMAGE he will also have an even greater sustain!


The sustain comes with the combination of our Runes and items that we will talk soon, no matter which rune version you will choose, you will see that to die is not something POSSIBLE at all! With insanely big heal effects, tons of HP and even more DAMAGE than ever!

Also cause of Yorick insane CC, one of the strongest in the game, you will also make a huge impact in team fighting, this build can be used for splitpushing if you want, but most importantly it will be used to make you the most impactfull champion in the teamfights, your slow with Mourning Mist that will also force the ghouls to hit and damage the target that will instantly apply the stacks from Black Cleaver armor reduction effects if you choose to build it Or instead apply the Slow effect from Serylda's Grudge PLUS the movement speed bonus and Slow effect with Mourning Mist that will let you reach any target!
And of course your W Dark Procession that can trap an entire enemy team that wont be able to get out without either hitting 4 times the cage or flash/dash outside from it and that can be also used as ZONE CONTROL to keep them "out of objectives" or even "in the objectives" for example the baron pit or dragon pit and make them be "trapped" inside there while your ghouls, maiden and all of your allies hitting them from safe distance!

With the tools that you got and the combination of runes and items with our build, Yorick will be the champion to offer you the FREE ELO that you want!

Let’s get started with the detailed explanation about runes now.

After the latest new Season changes, Yorick became an even stronger champion that ever. In our Yorick Build we will combine damage, heal and utility effects to make ourselves stronger, so the rules that we will choose will also going to focus on that goal, while playing with two core runes choices: Conqueror and Fleet Footwork, what you choose is up to you, but both will give you equal results for different reasons that we will explain right now!





From now for Yorick we will have two type of rune versions, for you to choose and destroy all!

Precision + Resolve

For Precision

Conqueror Extra AD and % of your damage as HEAL, this means, while this rune is activated(and it will stay activated by the hits of your Ghouls-ulti) any damage will be done by your Hits-Skills-Ghouls-Ulti will be gained back as HEAL, making you an absolute monster while also increasing your AD!

OR

Fleet Footwork One of the most OP runes for Yorick that will give you HEAL plus also Movement speed bonus to reach any target, that together with the slow of Serylda's Grudge and the movement speed bonus from Mourning Mist will let you have so much mobility that it will be impossible for the enemy team to escape!
This rune will be super useful in situations that we dont have the time to stack Conqueror to receive the bonus healing from it!

Presence of Mind After the mana changes, this rune became a must to have, it will give you the mana that you need to spam your skills without having mana problems or in need for a mana item!

Legend: Bloodline % Lifesteal and HP, why is this OP? The answer is simple, our build is about SUSTAIN and damage, lifesteal applying on your Q as well, making the damage that you are doing come back as heal through this stat plus the bonus HP that will give you more TRUE HEALTH to fight longer!

Or

Legend: Haste Another powerful stat to have, ability haste for your Q-W-E!

Coup de Grace Extra 8% damage to low health targets!

or

Cut Down Extra 8% Damage to High Hp Targets!

For Resolve:

Second Wind a rune that together with Doran's Shield will make you increadibly powerful and let you survive much longer!

Revitalize One of the most powerful runes in the game as long as you got Heals/shields, for Yorick is will work great cause of the heal from his Q plus the heal from Sundered Sky

Resolve + Presicion

This build is more less mana focused build version so you will for sure need to be careful while using your skills, but it will give you much bigger sustain than anything else!

For resolve:
Grasp of the Undying While being in combat you will have the ability to do % of your max HP as dmg and also heal of your % of your HP plus bonus health each time you activating it, that means that you will become stronger and stronger the more you fight!

Demolish Bonus damage to towers that will help you getting the faster and push all the way to nexus!!

Second Wind gain health regeneration that together with Doran's Shield will make you have so much sustain from early till late game that you will be insanely powerful just cause of this combination of rune-item!

Revitalize Bonus 5-15% HEALS and SHIELDS, a must to have rune, that working incredible good with your Spirit Visage that will help you survive against anything by multiplying the Heals and Shields by 40% and if you got a support with a shield-heal like Janna Yuumi etc. will make you even STRONGER!!

For Precision:

Triumph % HP as heal plus bonus Gold per kill/assist

Presence of Mind After the mana changes, this rune became a must to have, it will give you mana regeneration while fighting the enemies and mana refund after each kill/assist!

Now that we understood what to choose with runes, its time to move to the items and fully understand how to be the STRONGEST from early to full late game!!

The item order that we will follow is going to be super important to make yourself the strongest from early till full late game!

You can start the game with Doran's Shield and pot that will let you have hp regeneration that together with your Q will let you fight for as long as you want against any champion (especially the hard poke ones)! And cause of how gold efficient Doran's Shield to have stats that goes up to 300% of its cost, while fighting the stats from this item cost 1300+ Gold instead of 450 that you paid for! Making it insane powerful!

Another Option is to start with Doran's Blade to have bonus AD, HP but also Omnivamp, that will give you an extra boost in sustain together with Revitalize, not as gold efficient as Doran's Shield that together with Second Wind will let you survive any kind of match up, but powerful enough to be a decent start item!

On your First back, you will focus on having from 900 to 1200 Gold and you will try to get Sheen to help you increase your damage while using your Q and Boots to help you with mobility

Then you will focus finish our first item that will be Trinity Force this
item will give you everything that you need, AD, HP, Ability haste, movement speed and a huge damage bonus effect that will apply after using any of your skills!

Before you continue with your next item you need to choose for the boots that we will finish, for our Yorick you got 3 options for boots,

Our First Option will be Mercury's Treads and increase your MR and Tenacity and will help you avoid the CC type effects and apply damage easier, just with the boots and our runes, you will have a 44% Tenacity Effect, also super powerful to avoid almost half the duration of any CC!

Plated Steelcaps that will give you armor and a % damage reduction effect from basic attacks, extra useful vs auto attack users such as, Tryndamere, Yasuo, Yone etc.

and lastly Ionian Boots of Lucidity, one of my favorite boots to finish into on Yorick, bonus ability haste and spell haste, this will let me use my skills faster, just like my summoners and actually make a huge impact into fights! If you don't have lots of CC vs you, then to go for this boots will be a must!

For the next item, we got two options that both will be powerful for different reasons for our Yorick build.
First you can go for Serylda's Grudge that will give you AD, Ability haste,%armor penetration and also a huge slow effect that will apply to the target after they drop below 50% HP, making our Ghouls to actually apply this slow effect and making us reach any target while we also doing a huge amount of damage cause of the lethality + armor penetration stats!!
Second option will be Black Cleaver, bonus AD, HP, Ability haste, %ARMOR REDUCTION and movement speed bonus effect, this item is also equally powerful for yorick as Serylda's Grudge but you can't combine them together, it will give you the stats that you need to overpower your enemies while also being tankier than ever cause of the bonus hp effect!

To fully understand how armor penetration work, be sure to check our league masterclass that we talking about how this unique stat really works:

Now, as 3rd item, we will focus on getting Endless Hunger, this item is meant for our Yorick Build to make us a MONSTER, you will gain, AD, Tenacity, Omvivamp and two bonus passive effects, Bonus Ability Haste that scales with AD and a bonus omvivamp effect that will be on after taking a kill/assist.
Now lets understand why this item is so OP, first of all, you already (most of the times) will have Mercury's Treads, that will already together with the runes, give you 44% Tenacity, now after adding Endless Hunger tenacity as well, you will reahc to 52% Total Tenacity, make you unstoppable no matter how much CC the enemy team got, you will also have Bonus Damage, HP and Either ARMOR PEN or ARMOR Reduction (Depends if you choose Serylda's Grudge or Black Cleaver) and an omvivamp effect that will heal you from the damage that you are doing and will multiply that healing by even more cause of your Revitalize and by adding Fleet Footwork or Conqueror bonus HEALING on top of that, you can understand that Yorick with just these three items will also going to be a MONSTER!


The next item that we will try to finish will be Sundered Sky, another powerful item that will make our Yorick to gain, AD, HP, Ability haste plus a bonus damage and ANOTHER HEAL EFFECT that will apply every few seconds on each champion after damaging them, combine this with everything else from above, plus your Q bonus heals and you will realize how powerful you will going to be in your games!

Now lets talk about the last item that we will be playing with our Yorick Build and will make the difference in winning or losing your game, you got the following options:

1. Spirit Visage this item is the MOST Powerful choice of them all, cause it will gives you what you need for the late game, HP, Magic Resist, Ability haste, hp regain and 25% BONUS Heals and SHIELDS from any type of heal-shield effect from you or your allies, this means lifesteal and omnivamp as well! So let them try to "kill" you after finishing this item!
All the Healing effects that we stacked before, now will be multiplied by up to 40% cause of Spirit Visage and Revitalize and make you reach GAME BREAKING STATS!

2. Death's Dance, our second option, and a choice where we got Heavy AD Burst damage, this item will give you: Bonus AD, ability haste and armor plus a passive effect that will turn % of burst to True damage over time effect that will help you sustain more and with each kill/assist heal restore over time!

3. Sterak's Gage Another good option that will give you AD, HP, TENACITY and a huge shield effect that will let you survive even against the highest amount of burst damages in the game, this shield effect will be also be multiplied by your Spirit Visage and Revitalize by more than 40%, making Sterak's Gage even stronger than usual is, cause of our combination of Items-Runes!
And together with Mercury's Treads and Endless Hunger you will reach tenacity levels out of this world, not as powerful as the two options from above, but still a significant stat boost that can't be ignored!

4. Dead Man's Plate a more utility-sustain option that will give you HP, Armor, movement speed bonus and another speed bonus that will also slow the target at full stacks plus a slow resistance effect!

5. Hullbreaker personally not a fun for the item, but it is indeed an option if your team just can't teamfight right and you need to be forced splitpush to win the game, this item will give you the stats that you need to overpower any champion in side lane and also power up the siege minions to take towers faster!


Always buy Elixir of Wrath, this will add you an EXTRA type of lifesteal from your PHYSICAL damage dealt and will be added to your already INSANE sustain from the Conqueror/ Fleet Footwork + Endless Hunger + Last Rites and Spirit Visage!

After finishing our full build, you will be able to 1v3 or 1v4 any kind of champions, no matter HOW MUCH AHEAD they are, your ulti and ghouls at this point count as 2 allies champions, you gaining Healing like crazy and you will TEAR APART their HP easily!

Now that you fully understanding how the items and runes working together you are finally ready Balorian to go and DOMINATE against all! Be sure to check the different match ups games to understand how to play against certain champions and enjoy your FREE ELO!
