This guide is currently being built. It's my first guide so please be patient.

I decided to make this guide for my own reference and also because there aren't enough good Cho'Gath guides. This build focuses more on consistent damage and off-tankyness throughout the match as well as keeping a strong jungling clear time and strong ganks.

P.S. I do plan on making this a complete guide, I'm just looking for feedback currently.

1/21/13 - Many Changes
1/12/13 - Minor Changes to main build. Added a new build (For Testing) and removed the old build. Added solo top AP tank build.
12/07/12 - Added New build for preseason 3 changes. Removed original build and modified the alternative build.
10/10/12 - Updated alternative build, I now use this as my main build.
9/15/12 - Added alternate item build.
8/20/12 - Item list priority updated. Needlessly Large Rod over Blasting Rod and Rabadon before Randuin.
8/15/12 - Initial Release.

Pros Cons

WIP

• Greater Mark of Attack Speed: Even though I said this was an AP jungle guide and not AS, these runes still make it a lot easier jungling for the first few levels over Greater Mark of Magic Penetration.
• Greater Seal of Armor: These will make it that much easier to jungle at level one and for those initial ganks early game.
• Greater Glyph of Ability Power: The starting AP will help tremendously with jungling and early ganks.
• Greater Quintessence of Ability Power: As with the glyphs, the added AP helps early to mid game and scales exceptionally well with Cho'Gath's abilities especially rupture.

Jungle Route

Start at wolves and ask for a bit of aid to finish them quickly and head to blue. Make sure you are in position for your vorpal spikes to hit all targets, get a bit of help on blue and use smite on the golem.

Depending on how much help you have, you should have anywhere from half to full hp after using 1 to 2 health potions. Head to wraiths, start with rupture and clear them quickly and you should now have nearly full hp.

Head to the small golems and chain ruptures to finish them off. Head to red buff, clear it with smite and head off to gank a lane. If nothing is available, keep jungling by going to wolves, wraiths and small golems again and back to base to buy.
