Urgot vs Akali

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Urgot aims to control ranged spacing and punish Akali's aggressive engages with (E) flips and passive legs damage.
This lane is a medium pressure, medium agency duel where Urgot must deny Akali safe all-in windows and scale into side-lane duels.
Urgot should adapt defensively to Akali's high mobility and (W) stealth by holding (E) to punish her commits rather than engaging blindly.

Trading pattern

Trade by poking with (Q) and passive legs, then punish Akali if she walks into (E) for a flip and shield.
Avoid trading when (E) is on cooldown or passive legs are unavailable, as Akali can kite and dodge your damage.
Exploit Akali's vulnerability after her (W) shroud expires by stepping forward to land poke and threaten (R) execute.

Danger windows

Akali is most dangerous when (W) shroud is active and (E) recast is available, enabling her to commit or escape trades.
Avoid all-ins when your passive legs are on cooldown or (E) misses, as you become vulnerable to her mobility and burst.
Be cautious around Akali's level 6 (R) execute window; hold key defensive tools and avoid low-health exposure.

Early game

Use poke and passive legs to pressure Akali early, forcing her to respect your ranged damage before she hits level 3.
Avoid committing to all-ins before level 6 when Akali unlocks her full combo and (R) execute threat.
Hold (E) to punish Akali's engage attempts, especially when her (W) shroud is down or she mispositions.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to threaten executes on low-health Akali, forcing her to play cautiously and creating kill pressure.
At level 9, leverage (W) uptime to sustain longer trades and side-lane duels where your passive legs and (E) shine.
Respect Akali's level 3 unlock of (Q)-(W)-(E) combo and level 6 (R) ultimate, avoiding extended trades when these are available.

Win conditions

Win by controlling ranged spacing, punishing Akali's engages with (E) flips, and converting health leads into (R) executes.
Deny Akali safe all-in windows by forcing her to waste (W) and (E) before committing to trades.
Scale into side-lane duels where your sustained damage and execute pressure outmatch Akali's burst and mobility.
