Stacked attack speed with on-hit damage
- Guinsoo's Rageblade
- Navori Quickblades
- Runaan's Hurricane
- Blade of the Ruined King
- Terminus
- Gunmetal Greaves
For long teamfights against a frontline with high health pools
The build totals +225% Attack Speed and +50% Critical Rate. Guinsoo's Rageblade's Wrath stops your attacks from critically striking and deals 30 bonus magic damage instead; that damage rises by 1.5 per 1% Critical Rate gained from items, up to a maximum increase of 75 at 50%. Blade of the Ruined King's on-hit deals bonus physical damage equal to 7% of the target's current HP, so high-health frontliners melt faster. Terminus grants 11% AR Pen and 11% Magic Pen for 5 seconds on each Dark attack.

League of Legends: Wild Rift (China) official champion library (patch 7.2, as of 2026-08-25)
The site's latest patch is 7.2d, but these figures come from 7.2. The 8 champions adjusted since then — Yone, Jinx, Leona, Rumble, Nasus, Ryze, Jayce, Nidalee — no longer match the live game.
A three-step guide set by the official champion library. For difficulty, a higher number means harder to play.
Critical damage is 175% for every champion. These figures exclude items and runes.
Kog'Maw Strengths
- ✓Long range and max-HP percentage damage while Skill 2 is active.
- ✓High DPS that grinds down even tanky targets quickly.
- ✓Long-range harass and vision from the Ult.
Kog'Maw Weaknesses
- ×No blink, so assassin dives and ganks are hard to survive
- ×Short range and little threat while Skill 2 is on cooldown
- ×Depends heavily on the team's peel
Early Game
Early on, use the Skill 2 range increase to farm from a safe distance and poke when you see an opening. You have no escape, so keep watching the map for ganks.
Mid Game
Once your core items come together, your damage rises sharply. Trust your team's peel and focus on dealing as much damage as possible during the Skill 2 window. That is where fights are decided.
Late Game
You become one of the best tank killers among ADCs. Using your Ult from outside their range to secure vision and finish fleeing enemies is strong too. One positioning mistake still means instant death, so treat positioning with great care.
Teamfights
In teamfights, stay at the very back of your formation in the safest spot. Activate Skill 2 and melt whoever approaches, frontline first. As long as you stay alive and keep attacking, the fight tilts heavily your way.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
Stepping up to fight while Skill 2 is down
With Skill 2 (Bio-Arcane Barrage) on cooldown, Kog'Maw has short range and little damage. When Skill 2 ends, back off instead of getting greedy, and do not step up for damage until it is ready again.
Kog'Maw Combos
Long Range Artillery
Gain range and max-HP damage with Skill 2, slow with Skill 3 while auto-attacking, then drop Ult on anyone fleeing.
Poke Combo
Slow with Skill 3, poke from long range with Ult, and shred defenses with Skill 1.
Kog'Maw Patch History
No changes to Kog'Maw between patch 6.3 and 7.2d.
