Quick Answer for Patch 26.20

  1. Goliath

    Prismatic

    Become large, gaining 15% Health and 10% Adaptive Force.

    Why on Cho'Gath

    Goliath's 15% Health bonus also multiplies the max Health you gain from Feast (R) stacks, so every stack makes you even tankier.

  2. Tank Engine

    Gold

    Gain increased size and percent bonus Health per takedown.

    Why on Cho'Gath

    Feast (R) deals high true damage to secure takedowns, and each one adds bonus Health and size on top of your Feast stacks.

  3. Heavy Hitter

    Silver

    Your Attacks deal additional physical damage equal to 3.5% of your max Health.

    Why on Cho'Gath

    Every attack, including the three empowered by Vorpal Spikes (E), adds damage based on your max Health, which grows with each Feast (R) stack.
