Urgot vs Gwen

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Urgot should control ranged spacing to punish Gwen's melee approach and avoid extended fights inside her mist zone.
Focus on denying Gwen the chance to stack (Q) and use (W) effectively by forcing short trades and cooldown pressure.
This is a scale vs scale lane where Urgot aims to leverage ranged poke and execute pressure to outpace Gwen's extended skirmishes.

Trading pattern

Trade by poking from range and baiting Gwen to commit into (E) for a flip and shield counter.
Avoid extended trades inside (W) mist where her damage and sustain spike.
Capitalize on (W) cooldown windows to land combos and pressure her before she can retaliate.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Gwen has (W) available as it blocks your main retaliation and enables her extended trades.
Avoid all-ins if (E) is on cooldown or missed, as you become vulnerable to Gwen's chase and poke.
Watch for (R) slow and multi-cast after level 6, which can trap you if you overcommit.

Early game

Use (Q) poke and passive legs to harass Gwen early and prevent her from safely stacking (Q).
Avoid committing before level 6 when (R) unlocks to maintain pressure without risking all-in losses.
Hold (E) to punish Gwen's engage attempts and avoid using it into losing trades to maintain lane control.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to threaten executes on low-health Gwen and force her to play cautiously.
At level 9, leverage (W) uptime for smoother sustained damage and stronger side-lane duels.
Respect Gwen's level 6 (R) spike which increases her chase and slow potential; disengage before she can recast (R).

Win conditions

Use ranged poke and passive legs to control melee spacing and prevent Gwen from stacking (Q) safely.
Punish Gwen's engage attempts with well-timed (E) flips and convert health leads into (R) executes.
Pressure side lanes and force short trades before Gwen can stack (Q) or activate (W) to deny her scaling and extended fight potential.
