Playing as Cho'Gath
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- Silence after the knock-up
Follow a successful Rupture (Q) with Feral Scream (W): the silence stops them from casting spells, dashes included.
- 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.
- 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 Lillia
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Hug her or back off from her Q
Against Blooming Blows (Q), stick to her or back out of range: only the outer edge of the zone adds true damage.
- Leave the center of her W
Get out of the center of Watch Out! Eep! (W): the zone deals much more damage there than at the edge.
- Dodge her spells, seed included
Dodge her spells, even Swirlseed (E), which rolls to the first enemy: each one marks you for Lilting Lullaby (R), which puts every marked enemy to sleep.
- Save your CC for her
If you have CC, use it on her: with no dash, she relies on the move speed Blooming Blows (Q) gives her for each spell that hits.
