WR--How-to-counter-Urgot

Urgot, the Dreadnought, is a powerful fighter in Wild Rift. He dominates the Baron Lane as a ranged juggernaut, meaning that he can dish out powerful attacks and deal high damage while also being tanky enough to handle high amounts of damage. Urgot is a formidable champion in the laning phase, especially against melee opponents, due to his ranged damage and burst abilities with Kraken Slayer. In team fights, he’s a force to be reckoned with due to the huge AoE damage from his passive, Fear Beyond Death.

Best and Worst Champion Picks to Play Against Urgot

When playing against Urgot, it’s important to keep in mind both his strengths and weaknesses. Urgot can deal high sustained damage, is tanky thanks to his skill 3 and some items, and shows excellent counter-gank potential. However, he quickly runs out of mana in early game and his abilities are telegraphed. Urgot also has very limited escape options, making it easy to gank him if you catch him off guard.

With this in mind, the best picks to play against Urgot are the following:

  • Aatrox
  • Dr. Mundo
  • Fiora
  • Garen
  • Malphite
  • Nasus
  • Teemo

Playing against Urgot may not be ideal for some champions, as they may have a hard time winning and taking advantage of his weaknesses. The following champions fall into this category:

  • Akali
  • Gragas
  • Jayce
  • Kayle
  • Renekton
  • Tryndamer

Priority Items to counter Urgot

Since Urgot mainly deals Physical Damage, purchasing armor can be highly effective in countering him. Here are some items that you can use to counter him:

  • Thornmail
  • Frozen Heart
  • Dead Man’s Plate
  • Sunfire Aegis

Do remember that even though having better defense can lessen the damage Urgot deals, it’s still better to have a balance between defensive and offensive items so you can quickly take your opponents down and win the game.

Tips on How to Counter Urgot

Urgot is a formidable opponent in League of Legends, especially in the early game. He has impressive scaling potential and can build multiple damage items while remaining tanky enough to excel in team fights. As such, it’s best to avoid fighting him at level 1 and instead focus on dodging his Corrosive Charge and Disdain abilities during the laning phase. In solo engagements with Urgot, it’s important to maintain your health above 25% to avoid being taken down by his abilities.

Also remember that in early game, Urgot has very long cooldowns. Use that to your advantage and make sure to take him down before he can level up and get a decent build. During team fights, prioritize blocking Urgot’s engage and Fear Beyond Death ability to protect your low health teammates. To gain an advantage over Urgot, it’s recommended to gank him before he reaches level 6 when his kill pressure and trading ability increase again.

You can also take advantage of his large hitbox; the creeps will more than likely hit him instead of the enemy creeps. Have them slowly take HP then follow it up with massive damages. Furthermore, you can easily interfere with his combos. Once you see the chance, take it before you and your team get ambushed by Urgot’s skills. By following these strategies, you can increase your chances of coming out on top against Urgot in battle.

Conclusion

Urgot is an immensely powerful champion in Wild Rift, but there are ways to effectively counter and silence him with the right strategies. By understanding his strengths and weaknesses and building the right items to counter him, you can definitely come out on top. Just remember to never engage in 1v1s, take advantage of his long cooldowns in early game, and gank him whenever possible, and you’ll be fine.
