In the LoL universe, Urgot is the character whose story and game mechanics have been subjected to constant change and development. In the end, he was assigned a role in a rather sparsely populated niche - the role of a long-range fighter's long-range blood pressure. It is important to remember that he does not have a “carry” task, so his strength cannot gradually increase.
What then are its advantages? Unlike other Carrie champions, it shows good survivability and can last several times longer on the map. In addition, until the 7th season, Urgot established himself as an excellent duelist.
But first things first. Below we have prepared even more interesting information to familiarize yourself with this character. Also, our readers will find a guide to Urgot 2017 (last season), which will help all interested players to understand the tactics of the game.
Character Background
For some warriors, a loud victory is the result of the applied forces and skills. However, there are those who simply refuse to surrender to the angel of death. Such a hero is Urgot from the League of Legends, who was once listed on the list of the best Nexus soldiers. Despite his fearlessness, Urgot was subject to some recklessness: well-deserved military glory was given at the cost of terrible wounds and mutilations.
The time came when the champion could no longer fight. By decision of the High Command, he was appointed High Executor of the Nexus. True, by that time the veteran was given difficulty even the slightest movement. Soon his hands were replaced with special prostheses resembling sharp braids, thanks to which Urgot gained more freedom of action.
Basically, our character was engaged in executing death sentences. However, his powers did not end there. His extensive experience in warfare and military operations gave him a place in the detachment of Noxian troops. Once such an outing ended tragically for Urgot - he was cut in half. It would seem that this could have ended the champion’s story, but fate had plans for him. Soon Urgot was presented with a new body: half mechanical, half human. Now the renewed champion is fighting in the League of Legends and dreams of getting even with his killer.
Character Strengths
Among the advantages of the character can distinguish such qualities:
- Powerful Pook obtained from Acid Hunter and Harmful Eroding Charge.
- The Horror Condenser skill allows the hero to repel enemy attacks with a shield.
- Activating the same shield slows down opponents, which is undoubtedly a big plus for using various tactics.
- The presence of a strong ultimate "Hyperkinetic Change of Position", which can be used in a variety of scenarios.
- Thanks to the passive ability of the Zaunite Modified Charge Amplifier, you can reduce damage from enemy attacks - an excellent addition to any duel.
Character Weaknesses
Of course, a guide to Urgot can not do without mentioning the minuses of this character. They, unlike their strengths, are not so many, but they are worthy of attention no less:
- Basic attacks have a low range.
- Urgot is not as strong in the later stages as in the early ones, and for some it can be a big minus.
- Not strong enough to get the third level. The source of the main damage is a combo consisting of two main abilities: Acid Hunter and Harmful Eroding Charge.
We deal with skills: passive
In this part of the Urgot LoL guide, we will tell you more about the character’s abilities, some of which have repeatedly appeared in the previous sections of the article.
- Zaunites Modified Charge Amplifier.
This is a passive ability that we talked about earlier. It works along with basic attacks and Acid Hunter, which reduce all enemy damage by fifteen percent.
Active skills
Among the active abilities are the following:
- Acid Hunter. A rocket is launched, the flight path of which can be set using the cursor. The projectile hits the first enemy it hits, takes away hp and imposes the effect of the "Zaunite Modified Charge Amplifier". If before that the “Harmful Eroding Charge” was used, then the trajectory of the “Acid Hunter” will be replaced by the defeated enemy. The ability has homing under a variety of conditions, such as fog or bush thickets. The invisibility state is also not a hindrance to her, but she will have to forget about revealing the visibility of the target.
- Horror Capacitor. Another active ability. The character is charged with a special battery, which gives him protection and takes away all the damage done within seven seconds. During an active shield, basic attacks and Acid Hunter have the additional ability to slow down an affected target.
- Harmful Eroding Charge. An active attack that launches for a selected area of medium-sized radius. Each enemy located in the affected area receives damage and damaged defenses.
- Hyperkinetic Change of Position. Last active ability on our list. In order to use it, the hero needs one second to prepare. At the same time, paralysis is superimposed on the chosen target, and after the successful use of the ability, it changes with Urgot positions. In addition to this, the affected enemy experiences a slowing effect that lasts for three seconds. Urgot is given additional armor and a state of magical resistance.
As for pumping
First you need to pay attention to the "Acid Hunter" and tackle its improvements, since for us this is the main attack. The second skill for pumping should be the "Horror Capacitor", which gives an even more powerful shield to absorb damage from the outside. Improving this skill will also increase the time allotted for slowing down enemies, which, in turn, increases the chances of a successful hit by a “Dangerous Eroding Charge”.
As for the ultimate, its pumping should occur every available time. Thanks to him, we will get improved armor protection, a significant increase in the status of magic resistance and the ability to cast paralysis.
Returning to the "Dangerous Eroding Charge", it is worth saying that it is enough to spend one point on its leveling. This is done at the second level and only in order to "knock out" the homing ability of "Acid Hunter". After that, you can leave the "Dangerous Eroding Charge" for the most recent pumping.
Available runes for Urgot. Guide 2017
Let's look at the runes that are perfect for our character:
- Highest Damage Mark. Thanks to the runes of AD, you can increase the power of our attacks and deal with minions much more effectively.
- Higher Seal of Health. With these runes, you can increase the total number of our hp. An increased supply will help to survive after burst damage.
- The Highest Symbol of Speed and the Highest Symbol of Magical Resistance. The following runes from our Urgot Guide will allow us to increase the release of basic attacks and protect against enemy AP castes. Another survival bonus.
- Highest Quintessence of Defense and Highest Quintessence of Speed. Very useful runes in the initial stages of the game. The quint on defense reduces the damage received from enemy ADs, and the fifth on speed allows you to increase the number of attacks and, as a result, hit the enemy with maximum force.
Urgot as a Summoner
And here is what Urgot can do during the battle with the enemy:
- Lightning is a standard ability for many heroes. Allows you to stay alive in collisions with tanks, catch up with the enemy and change position in team battles.
- Barrier - with this ability you can win exchanges and survive after enemy burst damage.
- Treatment is a good choice in many guides to Urgot. This ability not only restores the HP level and allows you to survive after burst damage, but also increases the speed of our movements.
Description of starting items and final build
Continuing our guide to Urgot, it is worth touching on the topic of artifacts. At the very beginning, when choosing starting items, you should purchase the Doran's Blade. Together with him we will get additional hp, power and lifestyle.
As for the final build, we recommend that you pay attention to the following items:
- Mercury's Treads are the best shoes for Urgot. With them we will acquire magical resistance and will be able to reduce the duration of control.
- Muramana - With this item, Urgot will receive a decent amount of AD and mana, along with its regeneration. This allows us to use the Acid Hunter on an ongoing basis, without worrying about the fact that at any moment we may run out of magic.
- The Black Ax is another useful thing that gives AD, CDR, hp and reduces / penetrates enemy armor. The latter is done using the "Harmful Eroding Charge" skill.
- Maw of Malmortius - with it we get a charge of magic resistance, additional AD and the effect of a passive shield, thanks to which you can survive burst damage.
- Frozen Heart - with this item, Urgot rises defense, CDR and mana. The aura also rises, the decelerating effects of which are all the closest enemies.
- Last Breath is a required ability in the last stages of the passage.
Options for situational items
For Urgot, you can use the following raising spells:
- Banshee's Veil - increases the level of magic resistance and the amount of HP in the character. An additional passive defense in the form of a shield that blocks one enemy skill every few seconds. We select the "Tower Curtain" in the event that the opposing team has a large number of poeks.
- Guardian angel - increases protection and level of magic resistance. The bonus is the passive resurrection ability. The Guardian Angel is suitable against teams in which much attention is paid to burst damage or the presence of two assassins in it.
We play against Urgot
We understand that it is not always possible to correctly play this or that ability of your character so as to remain in a winning position in front of the enemy. It is in order to help understand some of the features of the hero, we created this guide on the hero Urgot. However, its main feature is that with the help of our tips you can not only play for Urgot, but also fight against him, speaking for another hero of the opposite team. It is worth remembering that only the main points and tips are collected here.
So, for starters, we need to save a jump or jerk before Urgot fires with his Harmful Eroding Charge. Also, in order to maintain control, you need to get rid of the shield that occurs after using the "Horror Capacitor" as soon as possible. By doing this, we can free our hero from constant slowdown when working with basic attacks.
Maintaining control will help you in another important matter - interrupting the ultimate cast "Hyperkinetic Change of Position". If Urgot managed to hit your character with a "Harmful Eroding Charge", then it is very important to get out of the attack radius as soon as possible and, if desired, hide. Otherwise, the remaining blows from the Acid Hunter will fly at you.
