Darius vs Urgot

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Darius must pressure Urgot early to deny his ranged poke and prevent safe scaling.
Use high lane pressure and extended trades to force Urgot into melee range where Darius excels.
This is a snowball matchup where Darius aims to dominate early and punish Urgot's lower mobility.

Trading pattern

Use (E) to pull Urgot when he steps forward, then auto and (W) to maintain contact and stack passive.
Prioritize hitting outer (Q) to maximize damage and healing during trades.
Avoid short trades that end before five passive stacks, as they reduce Darius's damage potential.

Danger windows

Avoid extended trades when (E) is down, as Urgot can kite and punish.
Respect (E) flip and shield cooldown; engaging into it can lead to lethal countertrades.
Be cautious near Urgot's execute range after level 6; disengage before five passive stacks if low health.

Early game

Start with aggressive melee trades using (E) pull to force Urgot into extended fights.
Prioritize landing outer (Q) for healing and damage to sustain through poke.
Avoid pushing without vision to prevent being flipped by (E) and punished.

Power spikes

Level 6: Use (R) execute after stacking passive to secure kills and reset for snowball.
First bruiser item: Force longer trades and survive Urgot's return damage better.
Respect Urgot's level 6 execute (R) and (E) flip; avoid extended trades near his execute threshold.

Win conditions

Control the wave near your side to force Urgot into your (E) pull range for extended trades.
Stack passive fully before committing to all-ins, then use (R) execute to snowball kills.
Deny Urgot safe farming and scaling by punishing his cooldowns and forcing lane dominance.
