Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior poke with Q + passive and better range than both enemies - Smolder's weak early game and Cho'Gath's short range favor your duo.
- Post-6 you maintain control through range advantage, though Cho'Gath gains kill threat with R execute if you're caught.
Synergy & Trading
- Focus Q poke on Smolder when he steps up to farm, and use your range advantage to collect souls safely while harassing.
- Coordinate with Xayah's feather setups by using W to root enemies caught in her E for extended trades.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam when Xayah can safely 1v2 or when you've established significant lane pressure, typically after successful poke sequences.
- Best roam timings are when enemies are low and forced to recall, allowing mid lane ganks around levels 4-6.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't greed for souls when Cho'Gath has Q available - getting caught by his knockup leads to guaranteed death with follow-up damage.
- Avoid extended trades in minion waves where Cho'Gath can land easier Qs and Smolder can use minions for W waveclear.
