- Your mist walkers will attack a jungle camp only if you attack it, or if you land your E on the camp.

If you cast your Mourning Mist too early, your Ghouls will jump onto the centre of the Jungle Monsters hitbox. The way that jungle monsters are coded is that they attack the closest target, and it is impossible to get Yorick closer to that target than the jumped Ghoul already is. It will be near-impossible to get the jungle monster to attack Yorick instead of the Ghouls in this situation, and you will often lose multiple Ghouls when taking the camp which can slow your clear speed considerably.

The jungle camps that you can spawn Ghouls from the multi-camps which include the Krugs, Raptors and Wolves. You can also utilise graves from the various camps around the map if you drag the camp close enough to the mentioned multi-camps. Try to last hit as many jungle monsters as you can with your Last Rites ability to get as many graves as you can on a single camp so you have fresh Ghouls to accompany you during your early game.

This tip clashes with the previous tip in a way, but it is still relevant. You should be clearing the camp in a way that makes it so every jungle monster that is last hit with Q could NOT be last hit with an auto attack. Doing this perfectly on a camp can save one auto attack per monster on the camp, usually between 1 to 6 saved auto attacks which saves a lot of time on your early clear.
See who is late to lane and who is missing mana or health. This can indicate that the champion leashed a buff for their jungler at level one, giving away their starting position and you can alter your gameplay to adapt to that information.

Your Last Rites ability is an auto attack reset, so use it as soon as your attack animation is finish to ensure a quick burst of two attacks. Get used to the timing, because this technique is relevant and useful throughout all stages of the game so you should definitely make use of it.

A hugely important and extremely underrated tip. It blows my mind how many players do not do this and how many plays underestimate the effectiveness of this. A player who correctly kites his camps can finish a jungle clear faster than a player who had a leash with no kiting. This can be somewhat difficult with Yorick as his ghouls will often take aggro if you run too far away from the camp, but you can let your ghouls finish the kill on Jungle monsters while you run to the next camp to save yourself time during your clears.

The only exception to this rule is for when you are soon to come into cooldown reduction, such as about to recall or your next camp is the Blue Buff. Your Maiden is supposed to help you clear the jungle, so let her help you. Properly manage her pathing and she will turn you into an unstoppable force.

If you're walking around with 3000 gold in your bank and decide to full clear, you're wasting time and efficiency. You're much better off recalling to base the second you have enough for Skirmisher's Sabre - Warrior and putting the insane powerspike to use of 60 attack damage and 10% cooldown reduction. If you have anywhere over 1800 gold, you should be recalling as soon as possible and spending your gold. You will make up time with faster clearing after you purchase your items and be better equipped for any fight that comes your way. Remember you can be 5-0 with 4000 total gold, but if your inventory worth is 2000, that 1-4 enemy jungler's with an inventory worth of 2400 gold is stronger than yours.

Get used to letting your mist walkers and maiden of the mist finish the jungle camps for you. They deal good damage throughout the game, and you can get a move on to your next camp while they continue to defeat the prior one. They will jump to your Mourning Mist's target anyway, so you can save plenty of time throughout the game in your clear.

Early game try to leave it for the mist walkers only if its low enough so that it won't kill any of your walkers. It's one of the worst possible things to lose your mist walkers in your early clear as jungle Yorick. Mid and late game you can defeat camps with a single Mourning Mist followed by your mist walkers finishing it alone, so don't go to the effort of standing there for 4 wasted seconds. Get a move on to gather vision, better positioning or join your team and your pets will meet up with you after.

Yorick can solo the dragon as soon as level two through the use of his Mist Walkers. As the meta right now is very early-game focused for junglers and they are constantly protecting and securing scuttles, i would not attempt a dragon before level 6. An interesting thing about the strategy of the level 2 dragon is that the dragon will provide bonus experience based on how underlevelled the champion that defeats it is. If you successfully kill the dragon at level 2, you will gain a significantly higher amount of experience than you would gain at level 3. This means if you can fit the dragon into your jungle path while not losing out on map presence, jungle camps or other game changing factors, you can come out substantially further ahead of the opposing jungler.


Generally once you have your Maiden of the Mist, the dragon becomes extremely easier and quicker to take so this is the optimal time to try sneak or contest the dragon. The Air and Ocean dragon can be taken with ease and not much attention needs to be paid towards the dragons target or your health while doing so, the other three dragons are a different story. Your Mist Walkers and Maiden should NOT take damage from the dragon unless you absolutely have to, or it is a risky call to do the dragon in the first place.


These three dragons have a cone-base attack projectile, which means that their attack will spread to all targets that are positioned behind the initially targeted unit. If you do not properly manage your aggro and positioning, you can unintentionally lose Mist Walkers and the Maiden from the spread attacks. Therefore when you take these dragons, position Yorick behind the dragon and the Maiden and Mist Walkers should stand on the opposite side of the dragon to where Yorick is staying. Then have the dragon focus onto Yorick so the spread damage is dealt in an area where the Mist Walkers and Maiden are not standing.


Yorick is one of the only champions that can solo the baron nashor. The reason for this is pretty simple but often unknown to the majority of the players. The Baron Nashor has a passive effect that reduces incoming damage dealt by the champion it last auto-attacked by 50%. Usually when a champion attempts to solo the Baron Nashor, they are unable to remove this debuff since there are no other champions or units nearby for the Baron Nashor to attack and it is extremely difficult to solo.

Yorick on the other hand has his pets to redirect the Baron Nashor's attacks to, and once a pet takes an auto-attack, the debuff is removed from Yorick and placed onto the pet instead.

So when it comes to taking the Baron Nashor, you almost never want to be tanking the damage when you have a team mate available to tank it instead since its very likely your damage to the epic monster will be higher to it than your ally's.

If you're attempting to solo the Baron Nashor, there is a setup you'll have to learn and a routine to practice/follow. Firstly, understand that every five attacks, the Baron Nashor will perform a special ability which takes between 1 to 2.5 seconds to fully cast before it returns to its regular auto-attacks. The trick to soloing the epic monster as Yorick is to ensure that the debuff is on your pet and not Yorick for the duration of the abilities channel.


1. Have four mist walkers out, begin the baron by auto-attacking it and have one of your mist walkers take an attack. Immediately start counting the number of auto-attacks the baron nashor performs in your head. Once it does, cast your Mourning Mist onto the baron nashor so the damage is not reduced. Move Yorick close to the baron nashor so he is the one taking the auto-attacks.

2. Wait until two mist walkers have been killed, and summon the Maiden of the Mist within close proximity to the baron nashor. It is important to summon her close enough to not take aggro but not far enough away so that she is never able to take attacks from the baron nashor. Remember it will attack the nearest unit.

3. Once you count four attacks, move Yorick back so that the 5th attack is dealt to a mist walker and then go to town dealing as much damage through auto-attacks, Mourning Mist and Maiden of the Mist's percent health damage as possible.

4. Once the animation looks to end, reposition Yorick so that he is once again the closest unit to the Baron Nashor and repeat step 3 until the Baron Nashor is defeated. If there are no mist walkers available to take the fifth shot, put it onto the Maiden of the Mist instead or have Yorick tank it if you predict that it will be a successful attempt anyway.

With mountain dragons being defeated throughout the game, the attempt can take between 8 to 30 seconds in total with proper micro-movement - given it takes a lot of finesse to perform it absolutely perfectly.
