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 Riven

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade after her dashes

    Take a trade once she has used Broken Wings (Q) and Valor (E): those are her dashes, on cooldowns of 13 seconds and 10 to 6 seconds.

  2. Back earlier once she hits 6

    Once she hits level 6, back earlier: the Wind Slash of Blade of the Exile (R) deals more damage to enemies missing health.

  3. Interrupt her combo

    If you have CC or a silence, use it during her combo: all her mobility comes from her spells.
