Malphite vs Urgot

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Prioritize surviving early lane pressure and avoid extended trades before your armor and cooldowns matter.
This is a control vs scale matchup where you want a stable lane to reach level 6 and teamfight engage windows.
Focus on armor stacking to blunt Urgot's physical damage and prepare to use (R) for impactful engages in grouped fights.

Trading pattern

Take low-risk poke trades using (Q) and follow up with (E) to reduce Urgot's attack speed and auto damage.
Avoid engaging when your passive shield is down or mana is low to prevent being punished by Urgot's ranged poke.
Do not engage aggressively before level 6; instead, wait for (R) to create guaranteed kill setups or objective fights.

Danger windows

Respect (E) flip and shield combo, which punishes premature engages.
Be cautious when (R) execute is available and you are low health; avoid being in execute range.
Avoid extended trades or all-ins before your armor item and cooldowns are ready, as Urgot's poke and passive legs can overwhelm you.

Early game

Use (Q) sparingly to poke and steal movement speed without wasting mana.
Avoid committing to trades before your passive shield and armor item are up to reduce Urgot's poke effectiveness.
Maintain a stable lane state to farm safely and preserve health for your level 6 power spike.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), enabling long-range engage and lethal gank or teamfight setups; use it decisively for kills or objectives.
First armor item significantly reduces Urgot's physical damage, allowing safer trades and better lane control.
Respect Urgot's level 6 (R) execute threat and level 9 (W) uptime for sustained damage; avoid extended fights during these spikes.

Win conditions

Survive the early lane by minimizing damage and farming safely until your armor and (R) are available.
Use (E) to reduce Urgot's attack speed and (R) to initiate teamfights or ganks with guaranteed knockups.
Focus on grouped fights where your engage can turn the tide, denying Urgot side-lane duels and execute opportunities.
