Quoted:
So after one play through with this build I am still not convinced one way or the other. One drawback I noticed is definitely you do not have is the quick massive damage like you do in Crystal. If you can survive several hits you may be able to get a few kills, but they don't seem to come as quick. Now it was only one match and I had a SAW teammate that I don't think was very good. Also the match was over after only 17 minutes and me gaining only 3,600 gold so I was not able to get anywhere close to the full build. I did notice farming went much quicker getting the increased attack speed right away rather than crystal items like I usually do. I'll try a few more times.


Gotta give you credit, you're at least trying

I don't like going Crystal cause you can only deal a limited amount of damage at a time

Plus it's fairly hard to switch from Crystal style to the weapon style, with weapon you need to gather garunteed crit strikes before engaging

Yeah I am not convinced that it will not work. I am going to try it out next play. Wish me luck!

You sure, because I went 23-4-8 in one match as this set up

You never want to go WP with Koshka. All of her power is in her abilities. The only weapon item a Koshka can be accepted to have is Blazing Salvo. The best Koshka has EoH, Frostburn, Aftershock, and Shatterglass. With that, you can control the output of a game.

I *am* a fan of Shiversteel, but not for Koshka because she can close the gap so easily with pouncy fun and has naturally high movement speed. It's nice if you're gold starved, but a crucible will help prevent those deadly stuns that allow people to melt Koshka when she's not moving.

Yeah I agree,
I am just so used to intiating with pouncy fun, but I think with this type of WP build it would better to save it. With my typical Crystal build I can build in Frostburn for the slow if I need it.

Another thing to consider if we are doing a WP Koshka build would be to do a Sorrowblade instead of the 2nd Tyrants Monocle. This would bring her basic crit attack (pre armour)to ~720 at the loss of 30% crit chance you get about an extra 120 damage. Worth the trade off? Not that good with the maths

I have never tried a WP Koshka before, but since this build is focused on WP, does the Lifesteal from EoH benefit much? Just curious if maybe another defensive item would make more sense. Either Armour or Shield depending on enemies as Koshka has very low.

Otherwise this actually could be interesting to try out as Koshka does have the highest basic attack damage of all Heroes at level 12 at 164.8 with the extra crit dmg and weapon power of the 3 weapon items you would be hitting for like ~600 almost every basic attack!? (excluding armor and armor items) Not sure if I calculated that right. Hmmmm

Another thing to consider is Shilversteel to keep enemies close to you (and give you more HP) because Koshka has a small attack radius, although with the boots and her pouncy fun ability you might be ok.


Im personally not a fan of shiversteel, and you could remove the battery as she tends to have a good amount of energy alone
