Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1TrundleQ Chomp immediately steals Urgot's AD — his shotgun legs need autos to proc and you are already draining the damage those autos deal before either of you hits level 2.
Level 2TrundleYou own the level 2 window if Frozen Domain is already down when Urgot's E flip lands — walk back onto the ice and punish him while he is without a dash.
Level 3Even / skillBoth kits are fully online and Urgot's E flip makes this a skill matchup — he disrupts your domain, you disrupt his retreat path with Pillar, and neither side can force a clean kill.
Levels 4-5Even / skillUrgot can W-proc you from outside your comfort range; Q Chomp is on a short cooldown but his legs activate passively, so extended four-to-five second trades are coin-flip territory without your W active.
Level 6Even / skillLevel 6 is your clearest window — Subjugate opens by draining armor and MR immediately, making every subsequent Chomp auto hit harder; but Urgot's R execute threat means you cannot afford to let the fight drag past his health threshold.
First itemEven / skillTrinity Force Spellblade procs off every Chomp and spikes your burst substantially, but Urgot's first-item tanking (Heartsteel or Steelcaps) answers your physical damage before the lane decides either way.
Two+ itemsEven / skillAt two-plus items Urgot's percent-max-HP shotgun damage scales with his HP stacking and starts to bypass the resistance gains Subjugate gave you — do not look for the straight duel; play for teamfight Subjugate value on their bigger tanks.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Chomp on his first auto attempt is the correct level-1 opener — the AD steal and attack-speed slow immediately blunt Urgot's shotgun-legs damage, which requires him to auto you for his W procs to stack. The problem surfaces at level 2: Urgot's Disdain flip can hurl you backward before Frozen Domain is even placed, so drop W at your feet the moment you hit level 2 and position so a potential flip lands you back inside the zone or onto the side of it. His percent-max-HP W damage means he does not need to out-AD you to win trades; you need your domain active to out-heal his sustained poke.
