How to Beat Yorick as Gnar (Top)

Despite the slight difference in effectiveness, in the Gnar versus Yorick matchup in the top lane, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

Except for rare builds, Gnar deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Yorick has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Yorick, ranking 9th (versus 16th for Gnar) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.7 versus 1.9) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Gnar Top versus Yorick Top matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Gnar player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Yorick player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

    Gnar tips:

    • Managing your Rage is very important. Try to time out your transformations so you can get maximum benefit from both forms.
    • Position yourself next to walls to bait your enemies into getting stunned by your ultimate.
    • Know your strengths! Mini Gnar is fast, squishy, and has high sustained damage. Mega Gnar is slow, tough, and has high burst.

    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.
