Urgot Build Guide by I Am Goliath

Combo Examples

Here’s a clip of me doing a fast E-Q combo, basically you want to get your q off during your E right before you actually fling the person, you have to be pretty quick with it, this also works with your R.



Here’s me doing an E-Flash-R combo, because there is a little bit of buffer time on your E you can actually use it right before you flash making it practically impossible for them to react to your E, this can be really nice for securing kills in laning phase, but be careful doing this out of lane as you’ll want your flash for big ultimate fear plays in team-fights!




Here’s an example of what I mean by flash fears in the late game to win teamfights, as you can see I waited for right before I grind the enemy Rek'Sai to flash in so they can’t react and flash or dash out, fears like this can single handedly win you teamfights and games!



Here’s an example of a standard Urgot combo, I like to get an auto in before I toggle my W on sometimes for more DPS, so this combo was E-R-Auto-W and then circle around them for the passive procs, normally if I was engaging onto them I’d Q them first to get into my E range.



Here’s an example of the W toggle for taking turrets down quick as Urgot, basically every 3 W hits you’ll want to toggle it off and get an auto attack in and then retoggle your W back on instantly, you’ll be wanting to do this once you’re level 9+ everytime you take turrets because it’s just more DPS, this is because your auto attack is refreshing while you’re in your W and there is no cooldown to toggle it once your w is maxxed which is at level 9 if you’re maxxing it first.



The way to do the E buffer is quite simple, you pretty much just want to time it or predict slightly with their ability, because of the little cast time or buffer on your E it will go off slightly after their spell, this works with a ton of CC in the game but here are just a few examples of them.

What is the best soul for Urgot?
In my opinion from best to worst it goes Ocean > Cloud > Infernal > Mountain.

Ocean synergizes with all your healing so much and you usually Spirit Visage plus Death's Dance. This really just makes you insanely hard to kill.

Cloud is really nice for getting big fears and also for circling around people after your ultimate making it extremely easy to get a bunch of passive damage. Also remember you can ultimate to get out of bad situations because the movement speed boost is really insane, plus you slow somebody with your ultimate. Also just having a 10% increase to movement speed at all times is insanely nice on Urgot.

Infernal is a very nice DPS boost. I think some games it can actually be better then cloud depending on your team comp. Also gives you more impact damage on your ultimate which can be big for sniping.

Mountain is a nice shield. Nothing really special with this one in terms of the soul. The extra resists do feel really nice. If you stack 2-4 of these though, you will be insanely tanky.

Who do you ban as an Urgot main?
Personally I ban Lucian or Wukong.

Is Urgot good at carrying games?
Yes I believe Urgot is good at carrying games up until diamond and then match-ups get a lot harder in my opinion (this goes for most scaling champions). Urgot scales really hard and can build a lot of damage items while also being tanky enough to go crazy in team-fights, and if you get big fear plays you can solo carry team-fights.

When should I pick Urgot?
Urgot thrives in team comps that have lots of CC and engage, because this makes it much easier to get good ultimates off as well as your E. And Urgot is amazing when you have people to engage for you so you don’t get focused. He synergizes really good with tank junglers like Zac, Sejuani, etc… and tank supports like Leona, Nautilus, also Yuumi has amazing synergy. Urgot is also very good into melee match-ups where it is easier to land your E’s, especially squishy melee matchups such as Riven, Irelia, Fiora, Jax, etc…

What is your favorite skin on Urgot? High noon with the special red chroma, but I really like all his skins in their own way.

Why should I play Urgot over other juggernauts?
This comes down to what you have fun on I guess. But Urgot is unique because he is a ranged juggernaut and I believe he scales way harder than other juggernauts. Although he also has a weaker laning phase, he has way more team-fight potential and split-push potential compared to other juggernauts, also I personally find his ultimate the coolest and most satisfying to use of all the juggernaut champions.

Why do you toggle your W on turrets?
So after every three W’s you can weave in an auto attack for extra DPS. This is because your auto attack is refreshing while you’re in your W and there is no cooldown to toggle it and retoggle once your W is maxxed.

What do you think of Death’s Dance before Black Cleaver?
Generally Death's Dance can feel kinda bad without some HP first in my opinion, but if you’re against a top laner with a lot of mixed damage and they have an AP jungle it seems ok. It also depends on your first back and whether you can afford Phage or not. If you have around 900 gold and can get Vampiric Scepter on first back then Death's Dance rush can seem fine to me, but even just getting the Phage (if you’re able to) into Death's Dance seems a little better to me so you have some HP and movement speed to work with.
