Read from Irelia's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Urgot.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | His W (Purge) lets him strafe and fire shotgun-knee percent-HP at you while you're stuck last-hitting in range with only Q and no stun yet. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Your W (Defiant Dance) channel can soak a Purge volley, but his shotguns still out-trade you in a flat stand — this is even at best. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | You get E-stun into Q-reset, but his Disdain flip and percent-HP shotguns cancel your edge, keeping the trade a coin-flip. |
| Levels 4-5 | Urgot | A sustained stand favors his Purge DPS and tankiness — your max-stack ramp can't out-pace percent-HP chip on your own bar. |
| Level 6 | Irelia | Your R wall traps an immobile Urgot whose only escape is the Disdain charge — bait the flip, wall behind him, and all-in. |
| First item | Even / skill | Trinity plus a W-blocked Purge lets you win a short trade, but it's a wash — his first tank item answers your spike. |
| Two+ items | Urgot | Stacked Urgot is a percent-HP bruiser-tank whose R execute-and-fear rips you out of your dash chain — his shotguns out-grind your scaling, so end before this. |
Urgot owns the very start. His W (Purge) lets him strafe while firing the shotgun-knee passive, so every time you step up to last-hit inside his range you eat percent-max-HP for free. Don't walk up to auto him at level 1 — farm with Q on the back of the wave and accept some chip. At 2 your W (Defiant Dance) channel can soak a Purge volley at reduced damage, and at 3 you finally have E — but his shotguns still beat you in a flat stand, so only E-stun when you can immediately Q-reset off a dying minion to get out, not to commit into him.
