Urgot should play a controlled ranged juggernaut style, using poke and passive legs to keep Darius at bay and punish his melee engages.
Focus on denying Darius extended trades that allow him to stack his passive and use (E) to pull you in, as Darius thrives in long fights with passive stacks.
This is a scale versus snowball matchup where Urgot aims to scale through ranged trades and execute pressure while avoiding Darius's early all-in windows.
Trading pattern
Trade by poking from range, then punish Darius when he commits into your (E) flip and passive legs damage.
Avoid extended trades after missing (E) or when passive legs are on cooldown, as Darius can punish your reduced damage.
Use (R) execute when Darius is low health and near your range to capitalize on his vulnerability and spread execute fear.
Danger windows
Beware when Darius has (E) pull available, as he can force you into extended trades and stack his passive.
Avoid fighting when your (E) is on cooldown or after missing it, since you lose your main disengage and counter-engage tool.
Be cautious when your (R) execute is down near kill thresholds, as Darius can all-in more safely without execute pressure.
Early game
Use your ranged poke and passive legs to harass Darius early, forcing him to respect your spacing and avoid easy (E) pulls.
Avoid engaging with (E) unless you are sure to flip Darius, as missing it makes you vulnerable to his all-in.
Maintain controlled spacing to prevent Darius from stacking his passive and limit his ability to heal from outer (Q).
Power spikes
At level 6, use (R) execute to threaten lethal trades and force Darius to disengage or risk death.
At level 9, leverage increased (W) uptime to sustain longer duels and pressure Darius when your passive legs are active.
Respect Darius's level 6 (R) execute and his first bruiser item spike, which increase his all-in threat and durability in trades.
Win conditions
Use ranged poke and passive legs to control melee space and prevent Darius from stacking his passive.
Punish Darius's engage attempts with well-timed (E) flips and convert health leads into (R) executes.
Aim for side-lane duels and front-line fights where your ranged juggernaut kit and execute fear can dominate extended trades.
