How to Beat Darius as Urgot (Top)

The Urgot versus Darius 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. Darius deals mainly physical damage (76.88%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Darius, ranking 13th (versus 22nd for Urgot) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.8 versus 1.9) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Urgot Top versus Darius 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 Darius, 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.

Playing Against Darius

  • When Darius's axe grab is on cooldown, he is vulnerable to harassment attacks.
  • Darius's ability to escape from fights is limited. If you have an advantage against him, press your lead.
