Yorick lore:

The last survivor of a long-forgotten religious order, Yorick is both blessed and cursed with power over the dead. Trapped on the Shadow Isles, his only companions are the rotting corpses and shrieking wraiths that he gathers to him. Yorick's monstrous actions belie his noble purpose: to free his home from the curse of the Ruination.

Yorick tips:

  • You do not need to cast Awakening to regain the ability to cast Last Rites.
  • The Maiden will attempt to assist you in a fight, so choose your targets well.
  • You can send the Maiden down a lane alone, be careful though, as she represents a large portion of your combat power.

Playing Against Yorick

  • You can cast Smite on Mist Walkers and the Maiden of the Mist to damage or kill them.
  • Try to thin out Yorick's minions before you engage him, Mist Walkers will die from a basic attack or a single target spell.
  • You can attack Dark Procession to break the wall down.
