Works Alright in 5v5! I do switch out TT for a BP instead though.

Is this build still viable with the Eve of Harvest nerf?, Now I prefer to quickly build a barbered needle and turn the battery into a clockwork because I feel like I heal way faster with the needle using twirly death on some lane minions.

Aftershock also grants lifesteal, 50% of 15% to 20% of the enemy's health. At maximum against heroes, you can create a 30% "lifesteal investment" when fighting a tank 1v1, and that's not including lifesteal from Eve of Harvest and Serpent's Mask. Great way to poke at krul for funzees! :P I have only one question: if your opposing laner is smart and gets Metal Jacket, would Alternating Current be an okay substitute for Tornado Trigger or would it not be enough burst damage to compare to the given build?


Yes and NO. Alternating current could be a substitute if ennemies dont counter your crystal items, you will reinforce your basic attack every two hits and upgrade your salvo into another crystal item.
With this build I often build barbed needle (lane regeneration) and then nowadays tier3 for AS-trigger-EVE.
Trigger 75% speed attack is a must for me : you feel it so much because it helps you spamming your abilities every sec :) you can easily kraken solo really fast. If he build metal jacket, too bad for him..haha!
That's not the way to counter this build. Always buy at least a salvo (+swift shooter if you have spot) and finish Eve of Harvest :)
So i repeat, trigger is similar to clockwork on koshka as her hits reduce the cooldown of her abilities. Then you spam her abilities and deals crystal damages with crystal eve lifesteal :)
Hope it helps.

Sorry if the question isn't appropriate, I like to think about all the possibilities and get others thinking about them too.

Ok, so I have tried it out.

Personally I would suggest to start with iron guard and not with Oakheart, since your farming will be become more effective. (jungle and lane farming)

Second of all, I would not buy tornado trigger, since your cool down acceleration gives you enough time to use your abilities frequently (eve of harvest). Hence I would replace tornado trigger with a defense item.

Conclusio: its not only a hybrid koshka, but also a quiet strong defensive Koshka. Not quiet as defensive as Tanksha but she will give more damage to enemies than the Tanksha version.

Great job!


To me Ironguard contract is not needed because this is a carry Koshka, and you clean creeps too fast to recieve the passive from your contract.
Your second point talks about Eve of harvest (that does not give cooldown acceleration, be careful, but energy sustain and lifesteal with crystal damage).
Tornado trigger works like a clockwork for her as when she is autoattacking it recharge her abilities faster. Its the way I use it as cooldown acceleration.
I play this way at poa/vainglorious tier games.
Your build is also a good one when you feel you need more defense, aftershock + eve of harvest with full defense according to counterbuilding is awesome too :)

Thanks for the feedback, goodluck with Koshka !

Is this also reliable for higher skilltiers, such as "The hotness" or "SA"?
