Tricks
- Ability Usage
- Urgot is first and foremost, a juggernaut. He is durable and can deal tons of damage if he can close the distance, but if kept at arms length, he will eventually go down.
- Urgot wants to go toe-to-toe with enemy; his knee cannons can wreak havoc once he’s up close and can unleash them all. Use Disdain to engage, but remember, it has a short delay and can be juked.
- Urgot's ranged auto-attacks and Echoing Flames gives him significant poke against melee top laners, but his legs are on a long cooldown early game. Without any built-in sustain, that poke is his only way of winning attrition wars.
- Urgot legs don't rotate when he turns, so you’ll have to maneuver around your opponents to make the most of Echoing Flames. Disdain helps Urgot take advantage of those trickshot back shotgun legs and make the most of this damage, while Purge helps him proc his passive multiple times in rapid succession (but slow Urgot's movement). Postion carefully to take advantage of all six legs.
- In general Urgot's main combo is to initiate with Disdain and/or Corrosive Charge, immediately use Purge while locked on, then activate Corrosive Charge and/or Fear Beyond Death to finish them off.
- Corrosive Charge is a decent harass tool, but it consumes mana quickly if spammed, and the slow is best used to catch fleeing enemies.
- Fear Beyond Death's chem-drill has terrifying range, but the projectile is slightly on the slow side.
- Fear Beyond Death can be used to initiate for your team, but it's best used to finish off a damaged foe. Slippery targets who might otherwise escape at low health can't get away from Urgot's meat grinder once they're hooked.
- Mastery Usage
- Urgot basic attacks often, and his Purge counts as basic attacks - thus, Fervor of Battle is a good mastery. Grasp of the Undying is also an acceptable mastery, though Urgot is not a true tank.
- Item Usage
- The Black Cleaver is generally the first item to build on Urgot. Echoing Flames does not scale with AD, but since it's damage is a fixed percentage of the target's maximum health, the armor shred is extremely helpful against tankier targets. Cooldown reduction and health on Urgot is mandatory as well.
- If facing a team without any tanks, Edge of Night might be better. Again, the health is welcome, and the spellshield will likely be very useful against the disables they'll no doubt attempt to use against you to keep their distance, and the Lethality will provide a massive boost to your passive. Keep in mind you will lack the early cooldown reduction of The Black Cleaver until you can build tank items or, if you prefer, more Lethality.
