Hi everyone!
<3
This is my first guide here and I think I'll just make it short and to the point (:
It may not be the best but since there aren't many guides for Koshka, I felt that maybe I should share my build.
So if there are any questions for me or anywhere I could improve, feel free to leave a comment!
And I'm not really sure how to maximise the use of the stuffs here yet so here goes...
Koshka is relatively weaker and more vulnerable as compared to other heroes. She has to be able to assassinate in a flash - engage with the enemy quickly, kill and then quickly escape again. This puts her in a very squishy state. A tanky koshka may not have a very high damage but it is good when your allies are focusing on getting high damage, so all you need to do is protect your allies and scratch your enemies till they bleed. The main skill used here is her second skill:
Twirly Death so do max it asap.
First skill
Pouncy Fun
Type: Targeted
Used for:
- Closing the gap between you and your target.
- Escaping from enemies by pouncing at jungle minions ahead of you. (Note: May not be a good idea when you are low in health)
Second Skill
Twirly Death
Type: Radius
Used for:
- Collecting boosted basic attack (max 12) as this is what you depend on to cause damage.
- Causing damage to many targets at the same time if they are close to each other. (Pounce at an enemy and activate - This results in you collecting boosts too!)
Third Skill
Yummy Catnip Frenzy
Type: Targeted
Used for:
- Cancelling ultimates and for stopping the target from escaping. For better result, stun the target while you have an ally assisting you.
- Not really used to cause substantial damage but rather for its stun.
Passive Heroic Perk
Koshka's special ability is activated when she hits an enemy hero with any of her skills.
She gains bonus move speed, armour and shield.
This makes her even more tanky, and if the enemy tries to escape, the bonus move speed might enable you to catch him again.
How I personally use this build
What I do at the beginning is get
Energy Battery + 2
Halcyon Potion then farm starting from the lower 2 neutrals on the enemies side before going back to my side.
But if I meet an enemy there, I may attack depending on what their start items are. So you got to check what they are buying at the start in order to gauge if you can have a chance at killing any of them when at level 1-2. If you don't think you can handle the enemy approaching you, escape.
DO NOT waste your time trying to kill an enemy you think you might have a lower chance of survival against. Just farm what you can and level up.
I farm enough to buy 4 items at tier 1:
Sprint Boots,
Ironguard Contract,
Oakheart and Light Armour (or
Light Shield if against CP enemies). The 6th slot is always kept for 3
Halcyon Potion. After this, I farm as fast as I can to level 6.
The way I upgrade these 5 items depends in game, for example if the enemies are getting more WP items then I upgrade armour first. Usually, I upgrade my boots to Tier 3
Journey Boots as fast as I can as this (your speed) is your biggest advantage over others. If the game goes long enough, the complete set will be
Frostburn,
Metal Jacket or
Aegis,
Journey Boots, Warhorn and
Shiversteel + 3
Halcyon Potion (Some modifications should be done depending on what your enemies build).
Also, don't be afraid of turrets. If there are minions, slashing at a turret is perfectly safe. When enemy minions are around you, use
Twirly Death to collect boosts then continue slashing at the turret. It is possible for Koshka to take down turrets on her own. Do not hit an enemy while near a turret, even though this build can withstand many turret hits.
I hope that this guide would be of some help!
If you have a different opinion on some things, please share with me!
Thanks again for reading my guide!
