Matchup plan

Runes: Presence of Mind and Manaflow Band for mana, then Transcendence and double scaling CDR (Transcendence + Cosmic Insight) to reduce Q cooldown. Secondary: Transcendence. Summoner spells: Flash and Ghost, no Ignite, because killing Yorick reduces Q-stacking opportunities. First recall buy Ionian Boots of Lucidity, then Sheen, then rush Spear of Shojin. The build focuses on maximizing Q cooldown reduction. Essence Reaver and Sheen provide CDR, but Essence Reaver on Nasus may be unconventional; Frozen Heart is also a good choice, but you need to balance damage and tankiness.

Nasus vs Yorick · Top lane matchup

01

Core game plan

Nasus vs Yorick is a pure Q-stacking fiesta; ghouls give stacks and heal, and after level 6 with Spear of Shojin, Nasus takes off. Yorick can't suppress him.

Farm normally at level 1; watch for Yorick's small burst at level 2 but damage is low.Use ghouls to stack Q during laning; maintain HP when Yorick trades.After 6, Yorick's ult gives many ghouls for stacking, but he also has his own ult.Strong after Spear of Shojin; focus on stacking Q and reduce fights.In teamfights, Yorick's bruiser build is stronger; Nasus needs good positioning.

How a strong Yorick player plays

  1. 1

    Q poke then back off

    He will start by taking brush to poke you with Q and then back off. Note his Q has a shorter cooldown, so he will trade frequently to stack Grasp.

  2. 2

    Level 2 E with Ignite

    When he learns E at level 2, combined with Q and Ignite, he has high burst, but if damage is insufficient, he'll only force your Teleport.

  3. 3

    Aggressive trading after Sheen

    After he gets Sheen on his first recall, his damage spikes, and he will trade more aggressively to suppress you early.
