Read from Ambessa's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Urgot.
This is Ambessa's own plan; across 983 pooled games the lane is Urgot-favoured.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Corrosive Charge lands from 800 range and Purge chips in behind it, while your one ability and long level-1 cooldowns cannot answer. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | You get Cunning Sweep into Lacerate for a slow-into-poke, but Purge out-damages it and every cooldown he has is shorter — stay even and farm. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Your short combo and Drakehound's Step dash weave one empowered auto, but Purge answers it and Corrosive Charge is only 10s — a coin-flip trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | This is your weakest window — longest cooldowns while his Q poke and short CDs let him out-trade you, so concede and farm to 6. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | R blinks you behind him and suppresses through his E flip, and your armor-pen burst flips this even lane into a kill threat. |
| First item | Even / skill | Eclipse/Profane and Q-max give you a Q-auto-Sundering-Slam combo that chunks him — empty his Disdain shield first and the burst lands whole. |
| Two+ items | Ambessa | He reclaims parity at scale — Purge costs nothing and has no cooldown at rank 5, and his R execute out-grinds your burst if a fight goes long. |
Urgot owns the first few levels — Corrosive Charge drops a free 800-range explosion and slow on you while you have one ability, a 14s cooldown, and no combo to answer with. Don't walk into that range trying to last-hit; you'll eat the charge and his Purge follow-up for nothing. Farm with the outer edge of your Q cone, take the chip, and wait — once Cunning Sweep into Lacerate and your Drakehound's Step dash are online around 3 you can weave one quick empowered auto and leave. Purge slows Urgot himself while he fires it, so step out sideways during the channel rather than dashing straight back.
