Read from Urgot's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Ryze.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Urgot | Level 1 is yours, an immobile pre-item Ryze cannot answer your walk-up. |
| Level 2 | Urgot | Level 2 stays yours as Q-W out-trades his Overload poke. |
| Level 3 | Urgot | Level 3-5 is your window before his root combo is fully online. |
| Levels 4-5 | Urgot | Levels 4-5 remain yours, shred beating his squishy frame. |
| Level 6 | Urgot | Level 6 is still yours, R executing a Ryze with no escape. |
| First item | Ryze | First item tips to Ryze as Tear stacks and E-Q root burst come online. |
| Two+ items | Urgot | With two items you reclaim it, his immobility letting R run him down. |
