Who Wins
- You lose early trades pre-6 due to Urgot's superior damage output and sustain through his passive and W.
- Post-6, you can win all-ins if you land R into full combo, but Urgot still wins extended trades without your ultimate.
How to Trade
- Poke with Q from max range and immediately back off to avoid Urgot's E-Q combo retaliation.
- Only commit to extended trades post-6 with R available, as your W armor scaling makes you tankier in longer fights.
Wave Control
- Push early waves with E to get level advantages and recall timings, then transition to freezing near your tower.
- This forces Urgot to overextend for CS where you can punish with R engages.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to trade autos or stay in melee range without your ultimate available.
- Urgot's passive legs and W will outdamage you significantly in sustained fights before you have enough armor.
