How to win lane as Kog'Maw against Seraphine · 51.11% win rate over 2,520 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Seraphine | Seraphine's Q poke and W sustain beat your short-range level 1. |
| Level 2 | Seraphine | At level 2 her range and shielding keep the trade in her favour. |
| Level 3 | Seraphine | Level 3 gives Seraphine Q, W, and E Beat Drop to poke and lock you. |
| Levels 4-5 | Seraphine | Through levels 4-5 her poke and CC-setup zone your CS. |
| Level 6 | Seraphine | Even at level 6 her Encore adds control, not steady DPS, so her poke edge still holds the phase. |
| First item | Kog'Maw | At one item your on-hit W overtakes her weak autos 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 favour Seraphine's range and sustain: her Q out-pokes you and her W heals any trade, so don't walk up into her spells. Take safe max-range last-hits, hug your minions to block her Q line, and respect that a step forward can eat an E root that sets up her support.
