KogMaw ADC Build

KogMaw ADC Guide | Patch 26.17

Kog'Maw dominates as a hyper-carry ADC with unmatched late-game scaling and true damage potential. His 50.9% win rate in Patch 16.3 proves his viability in ranked play, especially in coordinated teamfights.

How to play KogMaw?

Kog'Maw thrives in the late game where his Bio-Arcane Barrage and Living Artillery maximize his true damage output. Early laning relies on poking with Caustic Spittle and maintaining range to avoid trades. In mid-game, focus on farming with W to stack your passive, then rotate for skirmishes or sieges. Post-6, look for extended trades with your E and R to chunk down enemies, but avoid diving unless you have Zhonya's Hourglass or Banshee's Veil. Teamfights should prioritize positioning behind your frontline to unleash full damage with your ultimate.

💡 Tips for KogMaw

• 1.Maximize your passive by stacking it with auto-attacks and W empowered attacks to deal bonus true damage in fights
• 2.Use Living Artillery to poke enemies in lane or zone them out of CS; aim for high-ground or fog of war for maximum range
• 3.Save your E for extended trades or to secure kills, as it resets your auto-attack timer and deals bonus damage on subsequent hits
• 4.Build Zhonya's Hourglass or Banshee's Veil against heavy burst or CC to survive assassins and divers
• 5.Coordinate with your jungler for early skirmishes or invades to secure objectives like Dragon or Rift Herald
