Abilities

Riot's own text for each slot, in the order the champion learns them.

PASSIVE ICATHIAN SURPRISE

Upon death, Kog’Maw continues moving, gaining Move Speed for a brief time. After a short period Kog’Maw explodes, dealing True Damage to nearby enemies.

1 CAUSTIC SPITTLE

Kog'Maw launches a corrosive projectile which deals Magic Damage and weakens the target's Armor and Magic Resist for a short time.

2 BIO-ARCANE BARRAGE

Kog'Maw's basic attacks gain range and deal a percent of the target's maximum Health as Magic Damage.

3 VOID OOZE

Kog'Maw launches ooze in target direction damaging all enemies it passes through and leaves a trail slowing enemies.

ULTIMATE LIVING ARTILLERY

Passive: Kog’Maw gains Attack Speed. Kog'Maw fires acid in area dealing Magic Damage to and revealing enemies hit. Damage is increased when targeting low Health enemies. Additionally, multiple Living Artilleries in a short period of time cause them to cost additional Mana.
