How to Beat Ambessa as Urgot (Top)

The Urgot versus Ambessa matchup in the top lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

Except for rare builds, Urgot deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Ambessa deals mainly physical damage (91.47%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Urgot is higher farming statistics (ranked 14th among role champions) (versus 54th for Ambessa), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items.

Key aspects of the Urgot Top versus Ambessa Top matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Urgot player to maintain constant pressure on Ambessa, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Urgot tips:

  • Pay attention to your individual leg's cooldowns, as they make for a signficiant portion of your damage
  • Land Corrosive Charge or Disdain to lock on to target's with Purge - a great way to trigger multiple legs in rapid succession.
  • Save Fear Beyond Death for opponents you know are already too weak to survive. It's especially good for picking off fleeing foes.
