How to win lane as Nasus against Urgot · 47.31% win rate over 427 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Urgot | Urgot's W shotgun legs out-range and cancel your Q windup, and his percent-HP poke punishes your big health bar with no Wither to answer. |
| Level 2 | Urgot | He pokes you off the wave with shotgun autos while you have zero kill threat and can only soak Q farm. |
| Level 3 | Urgot | Wither comes online but you still lose the extended trade — his E-flip plus Q/W percent-HP burst out-damages your sustain. |
| Levels 4-5 | Urgot | Levels 4-5 stay his: he shoves and pokes, you hoard stacks and play not to eat an E-flip all-in. |
| Level 6 | Nasus | Fury of the Sands' bonus HP plus Wither lets you survive his R fear-execute and win the single committed all-in. |
| First item | Even / skill | Sheen/Iceborn empowered Q plus lifesteal finally lets you grind a fight his percent-HP poke used to win — but his R execute keeps it a coin-flip, so call it even. |
| Two+ items | Nasus | Stacked Q one-shots him through his shotgun legs and Wither kills his attack speed — his percent-HP stops mattering and you out-scale him hard. |
Urgot owns these levels outright — his W shotgun legs out-range and auto-cancel your Q windup, and his Q/W deal percent-max-HP so your fat health bar only feeds his damage. You have no Wither until 3 and no way to punish him, so do not walk up to stack into shotgun range. Last-hit with the tip of your Q, eat the poke, and play for the long game — chasing a trade here just hands him an E-flip combo you cannot survive.
