Cho'Gath Build Guide for Wild Rift

How to play Cho'Gath

Cho'Gath is a tank who can play in the Baron Lane. He's a durable champion who combines strong crowd control with high survivability, allowing him to excel in extended teamfights. His kit rewards good positioning and timing, allowing him to disrupt enemies while using his durability to stay in fights longer. Cho'Gath's Feast gives him infinite scaling. The more stacks you have, the more health you'll get, making Cho'Gath an unkillable tank in the late game.

Cho'Gath's Abilities

Carnivore

(Passive)

Killing an enemy restores health and mana.

Use Carnivore to keep yourself healthy in lane by regularly farming minions, allowing you to stay in lane longer.

Rupture

(1)

Cho'Gath ruptures the ground, knocking up enemies, dealing magic damage and slowing them.

Try to predict where enemies will move rather than using it directly on them, and use it after they use their movement abilities.

Feral Scream

(2)

Cho'Gath roars, silencing enemies in an area and dealing magic damage.

Use Feral Scream after Rupture lands to prevent them from escaping.

Vorpal Spikes

(3)

Cho'Gath's next 3 attacks launch spikes that deal magic damage and slow enemies.

Vorpal Spikes is an auto-attack reset. Use Vorpal Spikes when trading or fighting multiple enemies to deal additional damage. This is particularly effective when enemies are close together.

Feast

(Ultimate)

Cho'Gath devours an enemy, dealing true damage. If this kills the target, Cho'Gath gains 1 stack of Feast. Stacks gained from minion and non-epic monsters are capped at 6. Each Feast stack grants max health, increases size, increases attack range and increases Feast's cast range.

Keep track of the damage threshold on the enemy health bar so you can secure a kill reliably. Also consider saving it for important objectives such as Baron or Dragon since you can help your team secure it.

Cho'Gath Build Breakdown

Heartsteel

Sunfire Aegis

Thornmail

Gargoyle Stoneplate

Amaranth's Twinguard

Plated Steelcaps

Heartsteel synergises well with Cho'Gath's naturally high health and his ability to fight at close range. You can consistently get close enough to enemies to trigger Heartsteel's passive, giving him bonus health that helps him become even tankier.

Sunfire Aegis gives Cho'Gath armor, health and additional damage while you stay close to enemies. Cho'Gath naturally always wants to be in the middle of fights, using his abilities to CC and damage enemies, which makes it easy for Sunfire's passive damage to remain active.

Thornmail reflects damage taken back to the attacker, while the anti-healing effect is particularly useful against enemies with strong healing or lifesteal in their kit.

Onto the runes, we have:

Grasp of the Undying

Grasp of the Undying gives Cho'Gath extra sustain, damage and permanent health during early trades. Using Rupture can help you stay in combat for a few seconds and then land a basic attack on an enemy champion, helping you win extended trades and become tankier over time.

Demolish

Demolish helps Cho'Gath deal more damage to enemy turrets. This can give you a gold lead in the early game after winning a trade or pushing an opponent out of lane.

Second Wind

Second Wind gives Cho'Gath extra sustain after taking damage from enemy champions. This is especially useful on Cho'Gath, allowing you to heal to recover from poke and stay in lane longer without needing to recall.

Perseverance

Perseverance helps Cho'Gath when playing against heavy crowd control compositions that can stop him from moving. Since you lack mobility, this is crucial to keep you moving towards enemies to attack them and use your abilities.

Transcendence

Transcendence gives Cho'Gath ability haste, allowing you to use his abilities more often. This is useful because Cho'Gath relies heavily on his abilities for crowd control and damage.

Flash

Teleport

Flash is essential because it provides mobility to engage, escape, and reposition during fights. Cho'Gath can use Flash to surprise enemies with his ultimate damage or quickly close the distance to use Feral Scream or Vorpal Spikes.

Teleport allows Cho'Gath to return to lane quickly so you don't fall too far behind. It can also be used to join teamfights and pressure side lanes without losing too much farm, giving you time to stack your Ultimate and get gold to build your core items.

Early Game

In the early game, you want to focus on farming whilst looking for safe trades. Cho'Gath's passive is a great tool to restore health and mana when farming, allowing you to stay in lane longer. Use Rupture to catch enemies when they try to commit to a trade, then follow up with Feral Scream and Vorpal Spikes for a strong trade pattern. As soon as you reach Level 5, you want to use your Feast on a minion to start stacking early on. If you wait to try and start stacking on champions, you will fall too far behind.

Late Game

Cho'Gath is one of the strongest late-game tanks in the game with his high health that you were able to build up by stacking his Feast. You are able to absorb a lot of damage while protecting your teammates. Save Feast to execute priority enemies or secure major objectives such as Baron and Dragon, since you would have already gotten the maximum stacks from minions during the laning phase. Try to avoid chasing enemies too far as you lack mobility to escape.

Conclusion

Overall, Cho'Gath is a strong and durable tank who can survive extended fights whilst using his crowd control to stop enemies from diving onto your teammates. He's a simple champion with not the most complicated skill ceiling, but a champion that can still be effective in fights.
