Urgot Guide

By LoLSuggest

Top

Urgot is a short-ranged juggernaut: Echoing Flames' shotgun legs deal max-health damage around him, Purge procs them and on-hit effects, Disdain sets up kills, and Fear Beyond Death executes a target while fearing everyone nearby. His laning from levels 3 to 8 is weak, but his level 9 and 13 spikes and teamfighting are among the best in top lane.

Core Items

Situational Items

Press the Attack with Triumph, Legend: Bloodline and Cut Down, plus Second Wind and Overgrowth. Swap Second Wind for Bone Plating against fast all-ins like Riven, Darius or Jax, and Overgrowth for Unflinching into CC-heavy lanes. A Stormraider's Surge page with Nimbus Cloak, Transcendence and Scorch plus Triple Tonic and Cosmic Insight suits matchups like Olaf or Kayle. Take Flash with Ignite (the top-lane quest gives you a free Teleport), or Ghost, Teleport or Exhaust situationally. Start Doran's Blade and a potion. The main build is Black Cleaver, Boots of Swiftness, Sterak's Gage, Dead Man's Plate, Force of Nature and Overlord's Bloodmail; Plated Steelcaps, Kaenic Rookern, Randuin's Omen, Thornmail, Chempunk Chainsword, Jak'Sho and Spear of Shojin are situational. Max W first, then Q, then E, with a second point in Q at level 4.

Strengths

Very strong level 1–2 and big spikes at levels 9 and 13.
Excellent teamfighting with area damage and crowd control.
Safe blind pick; Disdain plus Flash is almost always a kill.

Weaknesses

Weak lane between levels 3 and 8, with many losing matchups.
Slow, easy to gank and kite, and his skill shots are easy to play around.
Hard to press leads and team-reliant; struggles into Aatrox, Illaoi, Kayle, Mordekaiser or Olaf.

Laning Phase

Look for level 1 surprise attacks from brush — Purge stacks Press the Attack quickly. Don't spam Corrosive Charge, as it costs a lot of mana; use it to farm minions you're zoned from, slow enemies, or lock Purge onto a target. When trading, circle around the enemy with W active to hit all your shotgun legs. Be mindful of auto-attacking where a leg is down if you don't want to push. Survive the weak middle levels, then fight at 9 when W becomes a toggle.

Mid & Late Game

Your mid game is very strong: a single Disdain on a carry can turn a fight, and Flash into Fear Beyond Death can fear the whole enemy team after an execute. Always turn W on before using E so it fires during the dash. With W toggled, weave in an auto attack every few shots for more damage, especially on towers.

Key Tips

Disdain still goes off if you cast it just before getting CC'd, which helps you escape.
Abilities pressed during Disdain queue up and cast right after it.
Echoing Flames procs on Illaoi tentacles and Gangplank barrels, but not wards.
