Read from Urgot's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Zaahen.
This is Urgot's own plan; across 814 pooled games the lane is leaning Zaahen.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even farm, though your shotgun-leg passive makes his careless autos costly. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays neutral - your Purge shred and his burst combo are both incomplete. |
| Level 3 | Urgot | Level 3 is yours: full Corrosive Charge and Purge give you shred DPS and a zoning slow that win trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Urgot | Levels 4-5 stay yours as W uptime and the Q-E flip control the lane and his farm. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even - your Fear Beyond Death execute threatens every low trade, so it hinges on threshold play. |
| First item | Urgot | On your first item your shred and flip-combo pressure keep you the stronger sustained bruiser. |
| Two+ items | Zaahen | Two items in he takes over - Q resets and empowered E outpace your rotation while his R heals through your DPS. |
Levels 1-2 are quiet - your shotgun legs make his careless autos costly but neither kit is assembled, so trade lightly and stack the wave. From 3 you take command: Corrosive Charge into Purge shreds him inside your zone and the slow means he cannot leave a trade he is losing, so bleed him every rotation.
