(Passive): Increases Kog'Maw's attack speed.
(Active): Kog'Maw launches a corrosive projectile which deals magic damage and reduces the target's Armor and Magic Resist for 4 seconds.

Tips :This ability will mainly be used to escape and protect you from enemy ganks in the lane phase. Put it quickly over an area because Kog'Maw doesn't really have an escape and is quite slow.

Magic Damage: 60 / 110 / 160 / 210 / 260 (+0.7 per ability power)

Living Artillery (R)

Each subsequent Living Artillery in the next 6 seconds after a cast will cost 40 additional mana, capping at 400 per cast.
Tips :The ultimate has a huge range, use it to poke your opponents to weaken them little by little. However you should still pay attention because with a reduced time between two uses the mana hit will be higher. It is just perfect for putting an end to a target who is trying to escape or for checking the bushes.
