How to play it

Dodge his E
Save a Q for when he lands E on you: dash out of the mark, Q his ghouls to clear them, then turn the reset onto him.
All-in window
All-in him when Maiden isn't out: good Yoricks won't summon her while behind, so a missing Maiden is your green light to commit.
Q out of his W
His W walls you in to set up a gank: dash through a ghoul or minion with Q to break free.
Never commit an all-in while his Maiden is out: she auto-pushes and adds constant damage, so freeze and take short trades until she's gone.
