Illaoi vs Urgot

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use tentacle zones to force Urgot into vulnerable angles and deny him safe farming space.
Pressure early and maintain lane control to prevent Urgot from comfortably scaling with ranged poke and execute threat.
This is a splitpush vs scaling duel where Illaoi must leverage zone control and (E) to punish Urgot's limited mobility.

Trading pattern

Trade only when Urgot walks into (E) range near tentacles; punish with (W) and follow-up attacks.
Avoid chasing or engaging without tentacle support to prevent being flipped by (E) or poked by (Q).
After Urgot uses (E), step forward aggressively to trade while his shield and flip are down.

Danger windows

(E) flip combined with passive legs can burst Illaoi if caught out of position; respect his engage cooldown.
When (R) execute is ready and Urgot is low health, avoid extended trades or all-ins.
Illaoi is vulnerable if (E) misses or tentacles are cleared; reset zone before re-engaging to avoid punishment.

Early game

Establish tentacles early around the wave to control space and force Urgot to farm cautiously.
Avoid engaging without tentacles present to prevent getting flipped by (E) and punished.
Use (E) to pull Urgot's spirit when he overextends for farm or trades, setting up tentacle damage.

Power spikes

Level 6: Use (R) to punish multi-target commits and turn ganks in your favor inside tentacle zones.
Prepared side lane: Multiple tentacles and (E) angles increase zone control, forcing Urgot to clear or lose farm.
Respect Urgot's level 6 (R) execute threat; avoid low health and disengage when his execute is available.

Win conditions

Control tentacle zones to force Urgot into unfavorable trades and land (E) for sustained damage.
Use (R) in multi-target fights or ganks to maximize tentacle damage and secure kills.
Deny Urgot safe scaling by pressuring early and maintaining side-lane dominance with tentacle zoning.
