Upheaval

Level 16:
Twilight Veil
Level 20: Favor of the Old Gods
Focus: Tanking, CC Chains, Map Control
The Lowdown: This build turns Cho into an unstoppable frontline juggernaut, a relentless wall of meat and crowd control designed to lock down enemies and drag them into Gall’s destructive range. You’re not just a tank — you’re a fight initiator, zone denial engine, and chain CC overlord.
Your role is simple: get in their face, stay in their face, and never leave. Between pulls, slows, and a constant barrage of Rune Bombs, you control the map’s chokepoints and objectives like a warlord. Upheaval turns clustered fights into death traps, and with Favor of the Old Gods, you bring an extra stun to the party just when they think they’ve escaped.
Your sustain’s no joke either — Consuming Fire and Twilight Veil keep you healthy while enemies throw themselves against your iron hide. When you roll up, lanes clear, camps fall, and backliners scramble. You are the front line, and the enemy will break against you.
The Core Loop & Synergy:
- Consuming Fire (1) boosts your sustain.
- Rollback (4) lets you double-tap Rune Bomb setups.
- Power Surge (7) means big value knockbacks.
- Upheaval (10) clumps enemies for Gall’s destruction.
- Runic Feedback (13) lowers Rune Bomb cooldown — keep it rolling.
- Twilight Veil (16) makes you tougher when using abilities.
- Favor of the Old Gods (20) adds a brutal stun after Upheaval.
Key Tactics & Pro Tips:
- Combo Initiation: Charge Q → W on arrival → Upheaval.
- Rune Bomb Discipline: Keep it constant to pressure backline.
- Protect Gall: Use your body as a shield.
- Abuse narrow spaces — you’re untouchable in small corridors.
In short: You’re an unkillable wall of meat, controlling fights by clumping, slowing, and absorbing insane punishment.

Level 20: The Will of Cho
Focus: Sustained Brawls, Point Holding, Teamfight Chaos
The Lowdown: This build transforms Cho into a living inferno of pain, built for long brawls, objective control, and punishing enemy clumps. Your fire fields melt waves and heroes alike, while your sustain talents keep you alive long after you should’ve fallen.
You dive into the heart of the enemy team with Fuel for the Flame resetting your fire blasts, while Seared Flesh turns every swing into a DPS boost. Twisting Nether is your mid-fight nuke, locking enemies in place for massive damage and cleanup. Meanwhile, Molten Block makes you unkillable when it matters most.
Where this build shines is in point-holding and relentless teamfight presence. On shrines, temples, or control points, you are immovable. You punish anyone grouping up, soaking damage, and turning chokepoints into death zones. You don’t play around cooldown windows — you’re always a threat. The Will of Cho ensures the enemy can’t breathe easy, with a revived heroic and bonus shields when kills start piling up.
In short: You’re the regenerating, flaming, AoE-dealing monster that refuses to die, turning every clustered skirmish into a furnace no one escapes.
The Core Loop & Synergy:
- Fuel for the Flame (1) resets W faster — constant fire field.
- Seared Flesh (4) buffs your basic attack damage over time.
- Enraged Regeneration (7) triggers healing when low.
- Twisting Nether (10) for huge slows and damage.
- Surge of Stamina (13) makes your Q shield you on hit.
- Molten Block (16) = emergency invuln and damage.
- The Will of Cho (20) brings back your heroic and shields on kill.
Key Tactics & Pro Tips:
- W Spam: Stay near multiple enemies to maximize blaze uptime.
- Twisting Nether Timing: Use mid-fight for maximum slow/damage.
- Molten Block is your lifesaver against burst — time it smartly.
- Point Control: Hold shrines and camps with brutal zone denial.
In short: You’re a beefy, regenerating AOE nuke that refuses to die, punishing enemies for grouping up.
📊 Final Thoughts
Cho is a walking boss fight. Played well, you’ll suffocate enemy teams under endless fire and CC while enabling Gall to shred their health bars. Stick together, control the pace, and bulldoze the Nexus.
For the Old Gods. And for Yeeting fools across the Nexus. 🔥⚔️
