Akali vs Urgot

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Akali is the lane aggressor aiming to snowball by using (W) to safely extend trades and all-ins against Urgot's ranged juggernaut style.
Prioritize denying Urgot a passive lane by forcing trades around your (W) windows and punishing his cooldowns to prevent him from scaling comfortably.

Trading pattern

Start trades with (Q) poke and passive autos, then commit with (W) and (E) when Urgot is exposed and unable to retaliate.
Respect (E) flip as a counter-engage tool; only engage when (E) is on cooldown or you can bait it out.
Punish Urgot's cooldowns by stepping forward immediately after he uses (E) or when his passive legs are on cooldown to avoid his damage windows.

Danger windows

Be cautious when your (W) is down as Urgot can punish your lack of stealth and mobility with (E) flip and passive legs.
Avoid extended trades when (E) flip and shield are available, as he can counter-engage and burst you down.
After Urgot lands (R) execute or when his passive legs are active, play defensively to avoid lethal all-ins.

Early game

Use early levels to poke with (Q) and follow up with (W) and (E) once available, avoiding extended trades without (W) safety.
Avoid committing when (W) is down since Urgot can punish your engage attempts with (E) flip and passive legs.
Maintain high lane pressure early to prevent Urgot from freely rotating his passive legs and controlling spacing.

Power spikes

At level 3, use your full (Q)-(W)-(E) combo to force trades that Urgot must respect, denying him lane control.
At level 6, track your (R) availability to execute all-ins or disengage safely; avoid forcing fights without (R).
Respect Urgot's level 6 (R) execute threat by avoiding low-health trades and dodging the projectile to prevent lethal combos.

Win conditions

Use (W) to create safe windows for extended trades and all-ins, focusing on punishing Urgot's cooldowns and passive leg downtime.
Deny Urgot scaling by snowballing early with level 3 combo trades and pressuring him before he completes key items.
Leverage your high mobility and (R) to flank or pick Urgot in side-lane skirmishes, increasing your chance to snowball and control the map.
