Yorick in League Classic: Legacy Kit and Changes

Classic Yorick swaps Mist Walkers and the Maiden for three ghouls and an ultimate that raises an ally’s revenant. Here is the legacy kit, how it compares to live Yorick, and his Classic patch history.

At a glance: Yorick in League Classic

Yorick in League Classic is the original gravedigger. He calls a different ghoul with each of his three basic abilities and gets tankier and hits harder the more summons he has out. The first thing a live player notices is the ultimate. Instead of the Maiden of the Mist, Omen of Death raises a spectral copy of an ally and can briefly bring that ally back if they die.

He joined the mode in Patch 26.21. For the rest of the roster brought back so far, see the League Classic champions list.

The Classic kit

Every ability in the legacy kit puts a body on the field, and the passive pays you for keeping them alive. Read it as a stacking engine. The more ghouls you have up at once, the stronger Yorick gets.

  • Passive, Unholy Covenant: each active summon cuts the damage Yorick takes and adds damage to his basic attacks. All four abilities count toward it, ultimate included.
  • Q, Omen of War: an empowered next attack that also spawns a Spectral Ghoul. This ghoul hits harder and moves faster than the others, and Yorick gains movement speed for as long as it lives.
  • W, Omen of Pestilence: an explosion that damages and slows every enemy nearby and leaves behind a Decaying Ghoul. The ghoul keeps slowing whatever stands near it.
  • E, Omen of Famine: a targeted hit that damages one enemy and heals Yorick, plus a Ravenous Ghoul. That ghoul heals him again each time it attacks an enemy.
  • R, Omen of Death: Yorick raises a revenant of an allied champion that attacks with a share of that ally’s attack damage. If the ally dies while the revenant is up, they come back for a short time at full strength.
