CAUSTIC SPITTLEBIO-ARCANE BARRAGEVOID OOZELIVING ARTILLERY
Belched forth from a rotting Void incursion deep in the wastelands of Icathia, Kog'Maw is an inquisitive yet putrid creature with a caustic, gaping mouth. This particular Void-spawn needs to gnaw and drool on anything within reach to truly understand it. Though not inherently evil, Kog'Maw's beguiling naiveté is dangerous, as it often precedes a feeding frenzy—not for sustenance, but to satisfy its unending curiosity.

TIPS: Start your build with 
Long Sword. Next, you should pay attention to whether your mobility champion is enough, our further actions will depend on this. If it is hard for you to dodge the enemy's skills or you want to roam on neighboring lines, then it is better to buy 
Boots of Speed at an early stage.

+45 Move SpeedBlessed Blade: Attacks restore 10 Health on hit.
1200Berserker's Greaves TIPS: These boots grant a significant boost to attack speed and movement speed, while empowering your basic attacks with on‑hit life steal. — A great pick for marksmen and auto‑attack bruisers who need mobility, rapid attack cadence, and constant sustain in fights.

1200Berserker's Greaves TIPS: These boots grant a significant boost to attack speed and movement speed, while empowering your basic attacks with on‑hit life steal. — A great pick for marksmen and auto‑attack bruisers who need mobility, rapid attack cadence, and constant sustain in fights.

Blessed Blade: Attacks restore 12 Health on hit.
2200Gunmetal Greaves TIPS: These boots significantly increase Attack Speed while also providing Movement Speed and Lifesteal, making them well suited for champions who rely on frequent basic attacks. Attacking enemy champions temporarily increases Movement Speed, making it easier to chase and reposition, while each hit also restores Health. An excellent choice for auto-attackers who need mobility and consistent sustain in combat.TIPS: Finally, for your items, you should build Blade of the Ruined King (Attacks deal bonus damage) as your first item, followed by Berserker's Greaves (Grants Attack Speed) (sometimes it will still be better to build a boot as the first item, which significantly increases the mobility of your champion) the third key element in our build is Guinsoo's Rageblade (Applies on-hit effects).
Maybe now it's time to think about upgrading your boot, invest in Gunmetal Greaves (Increases Attack Speed and Movement Speed).
The remaining last three items are situational, of course you can use the example builds above. But for a more effective game you will need to pay attention to the situation on the battlefield.

2850Thornmail TIPS: This item reflects a portion of incoming physical damage back to attackers as magic damage and applies an effect that reduces enemy healing effectiveness.

+70 Armor
+4% Movement Speed
Momentum: Moving builds Momentum, granting up to 40 Move Speed at 100 stacks. Attacking removes all Momentum. Stacks decay when movement is impaired.

Crushing Blow: Attacks deal up to 100 bonus magic damage based on Momentum removed. Melee attacks with max Momentum slows by 75% for 1 second.
2800Dead Man's Plate TIPS: This item provides a substantial boost to health and armor, and its “Momentum” passive builds movement speed as you move—up to a cap—until you land an attack, which then triggers “Crushing Blow”, dealing bonus magic damage based on the momentum removed and slowing enemies at full stacks. This makes it an excellent choice for tanks and bruisers who need extra mobility to engage quickly and sustain through fights. Tips: ideal for champions who need to close distance and absorb damage; pairs extremely well with Spellblade items (e.g., Divine Sunderer) for additional burst damage on engage.

The “Endurance” passive stacks up to five times during combat, and at full stacks you increase in size, gain enhanced tenacity, and receive bonus armor and magic resistance until you exit combat. This allows you to stay in the frontline longer and withstand enemy attacks more effectively. Due to its versatile utility, this item is one of the most popular defensive choices in the game and is used by the majority of tanks, fighters, and other classes.
