Read from Pantheon's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Urgot.

This is Pantheon's own plan; across 830 pooled games the lane is Urgot-favoured.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1PantheonYou are a top-tier level 1 with point-and-click Shield Vault damage while Echoing Flames has nothing to trigger off — out-trade him now.
Level 2Even / skillYour level 2 W+Q all-in chunks him while Purge is still a short-range 490 grind, not yet a sustained barrage.
Level 3Even / skillWith all three basics, face Aegis Assault at Purge to soak the barrage, then Comet Spear him down for a premier kill window.
Levels 4-5Even / skillPurge and Echoing Flames grind back the sustained exchanges your squishy frame can't out-heal — the trades go even.
Level 6Even / skillGrand Starfall (R) lets you leave this dash-less lane and snowball another side — your map pressure beats his lane-locked 1v1.
First itemEven / skillHis first-item tankiness plus Echoing Flames' leg blasts out-grind your plateaued damage despite your early lead.
Two+ itemsUrgotA full-item Urgot grinds straight through your shields and then finishes with Fear Beyond Death's execute — concede the late game.

How to beat Urgot as Pantheon: the early game

Urgot is a slow level 1, and you are one of the strongest — point-and-click Shield Vault into a Comet Spear chunks him before Echoing Flames ramps. Get the names right, because they change what you dodge: the leg blasts are his passive, triggered by his attacks and by Purge, while Corrosive Charge (Q, 10s at rank 1, 800 range) is a ground-targeted explosion that slows. Aegis Assault is the key tech — face the block at him to eat a Purge barrage for free. Spike your level 2 and level 3 all-ins hard, and respect Disdain (E, 16s, 475): it shields him and hurls you back onto his damage.
