Read from Urgot's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Tahm Kench.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even — a Tongue Lash stun into Devour can flip the opener. |
| Level 2 | Urgot | At level 2 your autos and Q start out-DPSing his tankiness. |
| Level 3 | Urgot | Level 3 Q+W shred beats his gray-health sustain in a trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Urgot | At 4-5 he can't trade back without landing his slow Q first. |
| Level 6 | Urgot | Your R punishes any step-up Tahm at 6. |
| First item | Urgot | First item Grievous Wounds cuts his regen and holds your edge. |
| Two+ items | Urgot | With 2+ items his peel and roam utility even the fight to a skill call. |
Level 1-2 is a skill lane — An Acquired Taste needs three stacks before Tongue Lash stuns, so every lash he lands is a step toward losing the trade. Do not let him free-stack you off the wave.
