Read from Kog'Maw's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Senna.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Senna | Senna's long auto range and Q poke beat your short-range level 1. |
| Level 2 | Senna | At level 2 her reach and soul-farm harass keep the trade hers. |
| Level 3 | Senna | Level 3 gives Senna Q Piercing Darkness to poke and sustain over you. |
| Levels 4-5 | Senna | Through levels 4-5 her range and scaling souls zone your CS. |
| Level 6 | Senna | Even at level 6 her utility ult adds little steady DPS, but her poke edge still holds the phase. |
| First item | Kog'Maw | At one item your on-hit W overtakes Senna's low attack speed and you take the lead. |
| Two+ items | Kog'Maw | By two-plus items your W range and %HP shred hard-out-DPS her fragile body. |
Levels 1-2 belong to Senna's range: her autos and Q out-distance you, so accept you'll be poked and focus on safe max-range last-hits. Don't walk up to trade into her superior reach, hug your minions against her Q line, and just farm through the harass. Accept the poke, keep the position, and take the last-hits at maximum range while her Q lands on your minions instead. Do not trade into a heal. Your range steroid is what ends her advantage, so play the early levels for health rather than CS and buy toward that timing.

Start Doran's Blade + Health Potion and back for Executioner's Calling (≈800g) — cuts her sustain. Build Guinsoo's / Kraken first, then Terminus / Runaan's, with Plated Steelcaps / Berserker's.
