Playing as Cho'Gath

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Aim Rupture where they're going

    Aim Rupture (Q) where your opponent is going, not where they are: the area knocks them into the air and slows them.

  2. Silence after the knock-up

    Follow a successful Rupture (Q) with Feral Scream (W): the silence stops them from casting spells, dashes included.

  3. Charge your spikes before a trade

    Cast Vorpal Spikes (E) before a trade: your next 3 autos launch spikes that slow enemies in front of you and deal damage based on their max health.

  4. Eat as soon as Feast is up

    Finish with Feast (R) as soon as it's up: each kill gives you permanent max health, but minions and non-epic monsters only give a limited amount.

Playing against Bel'Veth

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Back off from her true form

    Back off when she takes her true form with Endless Banquet (R): she gains health, range and attack speed, and with enough stacks, the form lasts until she dies.

  2. Dodge her tail slam

    Dodge Above and Below (W): if it hits you, you take a knock-up and her Void Surge (Q) in your direction is refreshed instantly.

  3. Don't be the lowest on health

    If you're the lowest-health enemy near her, get out of Royal Maelstrom (E) range: every slash targets you, and she gains lifesteal and damage reduction.

  4. Deny her camps and kills

    Deny her large monsters and kills: Death in Lavender (passive) gives her permanent attack speed for each one.
