Read from Jax's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Urgot.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Urgot | He autos for his shotgun-leg passive (percent-max-HP) and Qs to slow you, and you have no Counter Strike yet to dodge the procs. |
| Level 2 | Urgot | You can take a hit for a Q-into-Empower burst, but with no Counter Strike up his autos and legs still out-DPS the trade. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Counter Strike is the equalizer: hold E through his autos and W-Purge channel, dodge the shotgun procs, and recast to stun him. |
| Levels 4-5 | Urgot | He ranks W so Purge machine-guns the legs onto you, and your bigger HP only feeds the percent-max-HP, so the grind favors him. |
| Level 6 | Jax | Grandmaster-at-Arms' instant Armor/MR plus the every-third-hit on-hit wins the duel here, so all-in at 6 while his Disdain is down. |
| First item | Urgot | Trinity Force is your spike, but his percent-HP legs plus tank items spike harder, so his sustained shred edges the trade. |
| Two+ items | Urgot | His percent-max-HP shotgun legs out-grind your bruiser HP and his R fears then executes the kill, so don't solo him at items. |
Level 1-2 is rough: Urgot just autos you for his shotgun-leg passive (Echoing Flames, percent-max-HP physical) and Qs (Corrosive Charge) to slow you in place, and you only have Leap Strike and no Counter Strike yet to answer. Do not greed a Q-into-Empower trade while his legs are firing, you lose the percent-HP race. Last-hit at the tip of Leap Strike, dodge his E (Disdain) flip so he can't drag you into his legs and tower, and wait for 3. The moment Counter Strike is up, hold it for his autos and especially his W-Purge channel: dodging that auto-storm and recasting to stun him is your only real early contest.
