Read from Gangplank's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Urgot.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Urgot | Urgot's long-range Q shockwave out-ranges your Parrrley and lets him chip you and free-detonate your barrels off the wave before they come online. |
| Level 2 | Urgot | He keeps poking with Q while you still have no waveclear and your kegs sit on long cooldowns, so the lane stays his to dictate. |
| Level 3 | Urgot | His W shotgun-knee sustain out-trades anything you throw pre-item, and a single E-flip drags you into a fight you can't win yet. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | It's roughly even here — a second keg point helps you poke, but his Q range and flip threat still trade in his favor before items, so call it skill on detonation timing. |
| Level 6 | Gangplank | Cannon Barrage zones his W walk-up and answers the E-flip dive — your one clean stage, since his entire all-in needs to physically reach you first. |
| First item | Even / skill | With Sheen and a keg chain online both sides can burst, so the trade comes down to landing the detonation before Disdain's shield and flip soak it. |
| Two+ items | Urgot | Chained kegs out-DPS most tanks, but his max-HP W shotgun and R suppress-execute keep tipping it his way the moment a barrel is on cooldown. |
Urgot owns these levels and you have to respect it. His Q (Corrosive Charge) is a long-range physical-damage shockwave that reaches past your Parrrley, so he can chip you and detonate-deny your fresh barrels off the wave before they ever come online. Last-hit at max Q range, place kegs only when he steps up to CS so he can't free-pop them, and stay off the center of the wave where his E (Disdain) can flip-stun you into W (Purge) shotgun-knee range. Hold Remove Scurvy — it cleanses the flip-stun and heals — but don't waste it early; you want it for his level-6 commit.
