Beginner Guide to Koshka
For beginners, play with bots and slowly increase the difficulty until you are familiar with Koshka's abilities. Your main job is
SHUTTING DOWN THE ENEMY! Remember, to stay hidden while your team is putting pressure on the enemy. When you are SURE you can strike them down, run out or use
Pouncy Fun to gain distance to your target. When you are smack next to them, use
Twirly Death and make sure to keep target with the enemy.
It´s not the initial ability that makes
Twirly Death so Deadly, but the two Basic attacks that fallow up, they are the key to your build. So don´t forget to spin!
Begin the game by entering the jungle. Build your Ingame level and slay jungle minions for as many coins as possible. When you hit Ingame level 2, level your
Pouncy Fun to 1 and consider helping your laner to assassinate the enemy laner and get a kill in. Back off and keep in the jungle to level up and build your bank
(Gamer Term for your coins).
Never Engage
Krul or
Reim because they dominate in 1 vs 1 close ranged battles
(This means it is their specialty and they were made to withstand these close encounters)
Also be wary of Heros that have the ability to become invisible and sneak up on you while your hiding such as
Kestrel,
Taka, and
Flicker. Her low health can leave her vulnerable when stunned or rooted, so always be on the move. Don't be afraid to retreat and get health.
It's always a good idea to carry a few
Halcyon Potions around, just in case. They restore a fair good amount of health and over time heal more. If you run out, you can go into the jungle and kill Health Potion Minions, that when killed, grant the same effect as a single
Halcyon Potion.
Detailed Explanation for Item build
Crystal Items
1)
Aftershock compliments her
Twirly Death because her next 2 basic attacks will deal
140% more
Crystal damage and also
Heal Koshka in the process from the life steal.
2)
Shatterglass tremendously increases your
crystal damage, including the next two basic attacks after using Twirly Death. Her ultimate, the
Yummy Catnip Frenzy, will also deal massive amounts of damage.
3)
Broken Myth gives an extremely high damage increase, amplifying her
Crystal damage by
4% per second for nine seconds. When combined with two
Shatterglass's, the damage is quite extreme, stacking Damage to it's maximum.
NEVER BUY BEFORE
Shatterglass SINCE THIS ITEM ONLY AMPLIFIES CRISTAL DAMAGE.
4)
Frostburn will
slow your enemy with each attack, allowing you and your team mates to get more hits in. It will also increase Koshka's
crystal power.
5)
Alternating Current matches well with Frostburn as it will increase Kasha's attack speed, dealing fast and heavy damage, also increasing the rate of slow from the Frostburn. This item allows Koshka to quickly use her empowered attacks from twirly dearth.
BUT THIS BUILD FOCUSES ON GETTING IN, DOING DAMAGE, AND GETTING OUT, so this item is not recommended.
Health Items
1)
Aegis gives koshka the ability to block damage worth
25% of her missing health. More importantly it blocks
ALL debuffs, meaning she can not be stunned when activated. This is best used when using
Yummy Catnip Frenzy, because when used, she is vulnerable for a few seconds to all damage and stuns. This item is the upgrade from
Reflex Block and also gives her
extra health. You also receive +125 Shielding from Enemy abilitys. The cool down is only 35 seconds which is
ESSENTIAL when leaping in, activating aegus, doing massive damage, and getting out :D .
2)
Fountain of Renewal is an item that focuses on granting a huge amount of health over a short amount of time. When activated it gives
2 Health per
% of missing health.
BEST USED WHEN YOU or YOUR TEAM MATES ARE VERY LOW ON HEALTH. It will give you more health if your missing health is greater. It is important to have late game when the enemy team is stacked with damage. After "Getting out" and most likely being in the bushes for protection, she can
heal herself and her team mates greatly. You also recieve
+200 Max Health.
3)
Metal Jacket is an interchangeable item in this build for if your enemy jungler is stacking on basic attack.
The reason is that koshka is fragile to defense, if the enemy jungler stacks basic damage, they are more likely to target you and shut you down before you can destroy their lainer.
Your Job as Koshka
One of Koshkas main goals is to shut down the Enemy Laner. The laner is the hero, most commonly ranged, that is in the back doing mass damage to you and your allies. As an assassin and with this build, you are able to wait in a bush, target your enemy lainer, use puncy fun
to draw yourself in closer, then use
Twirly Death to slash away thier health.
After the laner is downed, you and your team should focus on the jungler or the main melee on the enemy team that is doing the most damage. Using
Yummy Catnip Frenzy on the jungler will give your team enough time to destroy them, since you stun them in the process, and even if they are not able to kill the target, your final blow does a good amount of damage at the end of the stun.
The captain should not be able to shut you down while you attack the jungler since they focus more on support. The captain should ALWAYS be the last to be targeted.
