Early game (levels 1–5)

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.
