Read from Jayce's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Urgot.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | You take Shock Blast (Q) for the free gate-Q and out-range his clunky early — his shotgun legs only fire off his own casts and he lacks the mana to spam them yet. |
| Level 2 | Jayce | The Acceleration Gate (E) turns your Shock Blast into full-range artillery while his Purge (W) is still locked — this is your hardest favor window before he scales. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | He points Purge at 3 and his legs start auto-firing on every cast, but your gate-Q still out-chips a walk-up — it's a genuine coin-flip on who commits. |
| Levels 4-5 | Urgot | With Purge plus a Q rank his sustained leg DPS out-trades your full combo, and Purge homes on whoever he last hit with Corrosive Charge — that is you. |
| Level 6 | Urgot | Fear Beyond Death (R) lets him Disdain-flip and execute you below the threshold — your level 6 is just the stance-swap you already had, so the spike is all his. |
| First item | Urgot | His first armor item (Bramble Vest / Frozen Heart) blunts your Cannon shred while Purge keeps stripping percent-HP — the poke war flips to his favor here. |
| Two+ items | Urgot | By two items he's a tanky percent-HP bruiser your squishy frame can't kill, and his R executes you — split and let your team handle him. |
Levels 1-2 are your whole lane: take Shock Blast (Q) and fire it through your Acceleration Gate (E) to poke his step-ups before his W (Purge) is up. Right now his shotgun legs only trigger off his own ability casts and his early is clunky, so you out-range him cleanly. From level 3 Purge auto-fires his legs, and it PRIORITISES champions he has just struck with another ability — a landed Corrosive Charge is the tell the DPS is aimed at you. Purge also slows Urgot while it runs, so walking out beats trading through it. Keep Thundering Blow (E) loaded in Hammer form to knock him out of his 16s Disdain charge — that flip is his only way to close on you.
