Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths
- + provides massive %HP damage, making him one of the best tank-shredders in the top lane.
- + is a rare dash that buffers CC, allowing you to ignore hooks or stuns if timed correctly.
- + is a long-range execute that provides a game-changing AOE fear when successful.
- +Level 9 power spike is one of the most drastic in the game, turning into a permanent state.
Weaknesses
- -Large hitbox makes it nearly impossible to dodge skillshots or move through tight crowds.
- - is your only mobility and has a long cooldown; if you miss it, you are easily kited.
- -Passive legs have independent cooldowns; once they are spent, your damage drops significantly.
- -Early game (levels 3-8) can be rough against champions who can out-sustain your limited mana and high cooldowns.
Abilities
Shotgun knees. Each leg fires a blast when you auto or use . Positioning is everything; you must rotate around your target to proc all 6 legs. The cooldown per leg drops significantly at levels 6, 9, and 13.
Fires a canister that slows and deals damage. Use this primarily to 'mark' a champion so your focuses them instead of minions. It is a setup tool, not a primary damage source.
Rapid-fire mode. Urgot shoots the nearest 'marked' enemy 3 times per second. It applies on-hits at reduced effectiveness. At Rank 5 (Level 9), the cooldown becomes 0, allowing you to keep it on forever.
A dash that grants a shield. If you hit a champion, you flip them behind you. This is your most important spell for winning trades. You can use it to 'buffer' CC; if you start the dash right before being stunned, the dash will still complete.
Fires a drill that slows based on missing HP. If the target falls below 25% HP while the drill is attached, you can reactivate to execute them. If the execute finishes, it fears all nearby enemies for 1.5 seconds.
Teamfight Role
Frontline Executioner
Your job is to absorb pressure and find an execution. Stick to your carries and use to flip divers, or use -Flash to engage. Once you reel someone in with , Flash into the middle of the enemy team to proc the AOE fear.
If the enemy has heavy kiting (Ashe, Vayne, Janna), do not chase. Stay back and use and to help your team peel instead.
Combos
The Flip Trade
→ → Circle enemy →
The standard trade. Flip them to proc from the front legs, then activate and walk around them to proc the back legs. Use at the end to slow them as they try to run away.
The E-Flash
→ Flash mid-windup
Urgot's most important mechanical trick. Press first, then Flash during the short startup animation. This extends the range and makes it nearly impossible for enemies to react to the flip.
Level 9 DPS Maximizer
(3 hits) → Toggle OFF → Manual Auto → Toggle ON
Once is permanent, you can optimize damage against turrets or slow targets. Every 3 ticks, turn it off for a split second to land one regular auto-attack, then turn it back on. This increases total DPS.
The Executioner
→ → →
Use first for the slow to guarantee your and land. Once flipped, your and will melt them into the execution threshold instantly.
Power Spikes
| Spike | Why |
|---|---|
| Level 1 | Starting with makes you one of the strongest level 1 duelists. Most opponents can't survive the flip + 3 shotgun procs. |
| Level 2 | Having both and allows for a full trade that can force a Flash or Ignite kill. |
| Level 6 | gives you a massive range of threat. Any enemy at 40% HP is now in 'kill range' if you land the drill. |
| Level 9 | The holy grail. becomes a toggle. You can now clear waves instantly and duel almost anyone without worrying about cooldowns. |
| Level 13 | legs now have a 2.5-second cooldown. You can proc the same leg multiple times in a single extended fight. |
Tips & Tricks
- •You can use to dash through thin walls if you position your back to the wall and flip an enemy, but it's mainly for champion interaction.
- • targets whoever you last hit with or . If you haven't hit a spell, it targets the closest enemy.
- •While is active, you have 40% slow resistance. Use it when being chased by champions like Nasus or Olaf.
- •Don't immediately reactivate once they are below 25%. You have 4 seconds—use that time to let them soak more damage or to reposition for a better Fear.
- • provides a shield BEFORE the dash happens. If you're about to take unavoidable damage, tap even if you don't intend to engage.
- •Your targets wards and traps. You can clear a Teemo shroom or a ward almost instantly with the 3.0 attack speed.
Common Mistakes
- ✕Using to waveclear→You are left with no escape and no shield for 18 seconds, making you an easy target for a gank.
- ✕Activating without 'marking' the champion→Urgot will target minions instead of the enemy champion, losing you the trade entirely.
- ✕Panic-firing at full health targets→The slow is minimal when they are high HP. You lose your execute pressure and a huge chunk of your kill potential.
- ✕Forgetting to move during →If you stand still, you only proc 1 or 2 legs. You must constantly 'orbit' the target.
- ✕Missing the -Flash timing→If you Flash before pressing , the enemy will just react and dash away. The buffer is what makes it work.
