Guide to Countering Urgot as Garen

Tips for Playing as Garen against Urgot

Garen is only constrained by cooldowns, making items such as Black Cleaver very effective for him.

Garen's regeneration greatly increases if he can avoid receiving damage for several seconds.

Judgment deals maximum damage when only hitting a single target. For effective trading, try to position such that only the enemy champion is hit.

Advice to Win Against Urgot

If you are struck by Fear Beyond Death, do your best to avoid falling below the execution threshold (25% of your Maximum Health) until the effect times out.

Urgot relies heavily on blasting opponents with his legs, which have their own cooldowns and only detonate when he attacks in the direction they are facing. Avoid getting hit by multiple.

Urgot can deal and absorb tremendous amounts of damage with Purge, but slows himself while firing.
