Read from Olaf's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Urgot.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Undertow into autos wins first contact — Purge is only 490 range and slows him while it fires, so he can't poke free. |
| Level 2 | Olaf | Q plus E lands a guaranteed true-damage burst he can only answer with slowed shotgun autos. |
| Level 3 | Olaf | Axe-reset slows let you chain Q and chunk him with E before he can angle his W cone. |
| Levels 4-5 | Olaf | You out-trade his pokes with W omnivamp and a passive that ramps as his shotgun legs hit you. |
| Level 6 | Olaf | Ragnarok cleanses his E flip, W slow and R fear — unstoppable, you all-in or dive him. |
| First item | Olaf | Black Cleaver and Bramble Vest shred his armor and cut his Stridebreaker/Death's Dance healing. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Rank 5 Purge costs nothing and has no cooldown, so his Echoing Flames DPS beats your burst. |
Urgot wants to farm and chip with Purge, but it reaches only 490 and slows him while it fires, so he cannot punish you at Level 1. At Level 2-3 throw Undertow to slow him, walk in, and Reckless Swing his face for true damage his armour does nothing about. Pick the axe back up — that refunds the 9s cooldown, so you chain slows and he never walks out of range. Don't spend Reckless Swing on chip: it costs your own health, refunded only on the kill.
