Read from Yorick's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Urgot.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even; his poke exists but neither champ commits. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At 2 it stays skill as you farm safely behind ghoul soak. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 remains even with careful spacing around his Q zone. |
| Levels 4-5 | Urgot | Levels 4-5 favour Urgot once his legs and Purge (W) out-DPS you. |
| Level 6 | Urgot | At 6 Fear Beyond Death (R) threatens an execute-flip, keeping Urgot ahead. |
| First item | Yorick | First item plus Maiden lets your ghoul swarm out-damage his rotation. |
| Two+ items | Yorick | Late, Yorick's split and cage bury the immobile Urgot. |
Levels 1-3 are a skill window: Urgot's Corrosive Charge (Q) and shotgun-knee autos out-range your melee, but you can farm safely with Q Last Rites and soak his poke on ghouls from Shepherd of Souls. Don't stand in his Q slow, and mark him with Mourning Mist (E) only to disengage cleanly.
