Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillUrgot has no engage at level 1 — Q tip range to farm and don't let him bait a charged-Q channel with a Disdain flip he hasn't thrown yet.
Level 2SionW-shield is online and absorbs his first shotgun-leg burst; detonate it for chip damage and back off before a full leg cycle completes.
Level 3SionFull Q-E-W combo available: take his Disdain flip, immediately charge Q from point-blank to stun him, and E-shred during the lockdown before his legs cycle.
Levels 4-5Even / skillNeither of you has a new major tool — respect his Disdain cooldown and only trade when W-shield is available to absorb the percent-HP opening burst.
Level 6SionUnstoppable Onslaught answers his flip and gives you a long-range engage he cannot match; he has to play back or take a charged-Q stun mid leg-cycle.
First itemSionHeartsteel HP compounding starts outpacing his per-leg percent-HP damage in short trades, and your zombie passive forces him to respect every all-in even when you're low.
Two+ itemsSionYour W-shield value scales with max HP so his percent-HP legs hit a diminishing return — short trades into charged-Q stun remain favoured as long as you stay above his R execute threshold.

Early game (levels 1–5)

At level 1 Urgot has no safe engage — he needs Disdain (E) to set up his shotgun legs. Farm with Q tip range and let him show whether he is playing to poke or to flip. At level 2, once your W-shield is online, you can trade short: step into his leg range briefly, pop W to absorb the first burst of percent-HP damage, detonate for chip, and back off before a full leg cycle completes. At level 3 the full Q-E-W combo is available: wait for him to commit with Disdain, take the flip, then instantly charge Q from point-blank — the stun interrupts his follow-up leg cycle before the percent-HP shred stacks up, and your E armor-shred makes every auto during the stun window count.
