Playing as Urgot

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Circle your target

    Move around your target between autos: Echoing Flames (passive) fires from the leg facing them, and each leg has its own cooldown.

  2. Mark your target before Purge

    Hit your target with Corrosive Charge (Q) or Disdain (E) before Purge (W): the chain gun prioritizes the marked champion, and each shot can trigger your legs.

  3. Throw them toward your tower

    Cast Disdain (E) on an enemy who comes near your tower: the first champion hit is stunned and thrown behind you, and you gain a shield.

  4. Save your ult for a sure kill

    Save Fear Beyond Death (R) for an enemy sure to die, especially one who's fleeing: below 25% max health, you can drag them in to execute them, and their nearby allies are feared.

Playing against Garen

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Hit him regularly

    Hit him regularly, even with a small poke: Perseverance (passive) only regenerates him if he hasn't taken damage recently.

  2. At range, kite him

    If you're ranged, kite him: his kit has no dash, and only Decisive Strike (Q) speeds him up and removes his slows.

  3. Burst after his shield

    Wait for the Courage (W) shield to end before your burst: the spell starts with a shield and tenacity, then keeps only a damage reduction.

  4. Don't stay low once he hits 6

    Once he hits level 6, back instead of staying in lane at low health against him: Demacian Justice (R) deals true damage that grows with your missing health.
