Read from Darius's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Urgot.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Darius | Level 1 favours Darius — before W Purge is available your outer-Q all-in wins the trade. |
| Level 2 | Urgot | Level 2 favours Urgot — W Purge shields him and shreds you while your E-pull commit is punished. |
| Level 3 | Urgot | Level 3 favours Urgot — leg autos plus Purge out-DPS your bleed and kite your stick. |
| Levels 4-5 | Urgot | Levels 4-5 favour Urgot — his range and shield uptime deny extended Darius trades. |
| Level 6 | Urgot | Level 6 favours Urgot — R Fear Beyond Death executes you and flips your low-HP kill pressure. |
| First item | Urgot | First item favours Urgot — Purge uptime and corpse zoning out-trade and out-sustain your all-in. |
| Two+ items | Urgot | Two-plus items favour Urgot — he out-scales with execute, slows, and shields you can't 1v1. |
Level 1 is your only clean window — force an outer-Q trade before Purge comes online. From 2, Purge pours his leg blasts into you at close range, and Disdain (16s at rank 1) shields him and throws you out of his way, so a blind E-pull commit hands him the trade.
