Caustic Spittle Kog'Maw's Q Ability

1200

Passive: Kog'Maw gains 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30% attack speed.

Active: Kog'Maw vomits a corrosive projectile that deals 90 / 140 / 190 / 240 / 290 (+70% of ability power) magic damage to the first enemy hit and shreds 23 / 25 / 27 / 29 / 31% armor and magic resist for 4 seconds.

Bio-Arcane Barrage Kog'Maw's W Ability

210

Kog'Maw gains 130 / 150 / 170 / 190 / 210 attack range and his attacks deal an additional 3 / 3.75 / 4.5 / 5.25 / 6% (+1% per 100 ability power) of the target's maximum health as magic damage for 8 seconds.

1000

40 / 55 / 70 / 85 / 100
