How to play as Zaahen

Hold Aureate Rush(E) to dodge Urgot's Disdain(E) charge instead of spending it to start every trade; if he misses, take a short trade while his leg blasts are pointed away.

Look for a trade after Urgot uses Corrosive Charge(Q) on the wave or his passive legs have fired; respect his level-9 power spike instead of assuming Zaahen automatically outscales him.

Urgot's Echoing Flames(P) fires shotgun blasts from his legs as he attacks or uses Purge(W); each leg has its own firing window, so moving across his body changes which arc threatens you. (Unverified: no source confirms this note.)
