Introduction Top
Koshka received huge nerfs, making her a joke up until now. Hence the name of the guide! Because of the buffs she has received, she creates insane pressure towards the enemy team. When coupled with a good support, you can essentially run the jungle. Her kit makes her a deadly assassin, able to pick off enemies quite fast. It is important to note that Koshka provides huge early game pressure. If you don't capitalize off of this, you will not win.
Synergy Top
It is important for Koshka to have certain support heroes.
Ardan and
Fortress are two very strong supports who work amazingly well with Koshka. With one of those two, you can easily run the early game, and provide insane amounts of pressure towards the enemy.
Early Game Top
I cannot stress how important it is to capitalize off of the early game. It is essential to finish two rotations, and invade the enemy jungle. This is especially necessary if you are up against a
Krul. However, if you are up against a
Rona and
Fortress in jungle, be careful and aware of your own skill, as well as your support. It is just as important to pick fights that actually lead to something, if your enemies just cleared their camps, don't fight for the sake of fighting because they will re-spawn and be back in the jungle before their camps will be back up which results in wasted time. However, if your enemies are shopping and placing scout traps, initiate a fight and immediately head over to their backs afterwards. Also pick fights if they are in the middle of a rotation, but you already cleared your own. It is important to start counter-building against the enemy Jungle carry. If they are going WP, buy two pieces of Light Armor before your first invade, and then upgrade one to Coat of Plates, and sell the other. If you're going up against a CP Jungle Carry, just continue building towards your fountain.
Mid Game Top
This is where your early game aggression will start to shine. If you successfully farmed up, and acquired a large gold lead, you will be fine. Just begin to group up and win team fights. Continue to push turrets and drop down to grab some farm. It is important to play aggressive, but not pick risky fight because that could result in an opportunity for the enemy team to comeback.
Late Game Top
It is important to note that if the game runs late, you ARE NOT as much of a threat as you were in the early game. If you run into a strong early game composition like your own or tough opponents in general, you will most likely find the game running late. It is important to play very safe and stay with your team. Make sure you are always crystal infused because you never know when you'll run into a team fight.
Team Fights Top
Koshka can be a very important asset in team fights throughout the match. Just remember to use your A and B abilities on one targeted carry, and then proceed to use your ult on the other carry after the first goes down. Refraining from using your ultimate is a huge importance. This is because opponents can still target you when you're using it, so avoid it when there are still three heroes left in a team fight.
Pro's and Con's Top
Pro's
-Strong early game aggression.
-Can often snowball games.
-Her kit makes her a phenomenal assassin, letting her get close to enemies and bursting them down.
Con's
-Isn't as strong if the game runs late.
-Limits diversity when solo queuing. Since Celeste and other lane CP builds are quite popular right now, you will often find yourself with two CP carries when using Koshka solo. This obviously doesn't result in an immediate loss, but it makes it easier for your opponents to counter-build.
