If this attack kills the target, it leaves a grave. Champion and Large/Epic Monster hits also summons a grave.

When there are 3 or more graves nearby and this ability has already been used, Yorick can Recast to raise Mist Walkers from all nearby graves.

Yorick Tips and Tricks

Yorick excels at split-pushing, so focus on creating pressure in side lanes. Use your Mist Walkers and your Maiden to build a strong minion wave, and make sure to push when the enemy team is distracted. Don’t hesitate to use your R in fights, especially when you can summon the Maiden to help you in large skirmishes. Also, keep an eye on your W, as it can be used both offensively and defensively to control space or zone opponents during fights.
