Read from Gwen's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Urgot.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Urgot | His W Purge legs out-DPS your slow cone Q at level 1 with no mist to answer — farm and concede the shove. |
| Level 2 | Urgot | Urgot still out-stats you with Purge up while you have no untargetability and no E dash yet — don't contest trades. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Post-6 you get Q poke and the E reset, but his %-HP Purge trades back even — it's a true coinflip skirmish now. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Pre-mist you're a melee eating his Purge DPS, but your %-HP Q answers his bulk — neither side wins the trade clean. |
| Level 6 | Gwen | Needlework plus Hallowed Mist lets you bait his Disdain charge into the fog so his Purge and R whiff while you snip and heal. |
| First item | Gwen | Riftmaker and anti-heal make your %-max-HP Snip shred his tankiness faster than his Purge legs grind you down. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Both of you scale into bruiser-tanks — your mist resets duels but his Fear Beyond Death execute keeps every skirmish a coinflip. |
Urgot owns the first three levels — his W Purge fires his shotgun legs on a falling cooldown, 12 seconds at rank 1 down to nothing at rank 5, while you have a slow cone Q, no E dash yet, and no Hallowed Mist to hide in. Don't walk up to trade Q for his Purge; it prioritises whoever he last tagged with Corrosive Charge and it triggers Echoing Flames off his legs. Last-hit at max Q range, soak the shove, and respect that Disdain shields him on the charge and can flip you under tower. Your %-HP Q does answer his eventual bulk, but at level 1-2 you simply don't have the kit to fight him.
