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 Gragas

  • Gragas can knock everybody away with his ultimate. Be careful that you don't get knocked into him or, worse, an enemy tower.
  • Body Slam is on a very low cooldown, making it difficult to pursue Gragas. Don't overextend yourself chasing him.
