Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range, early game damage, and Senna's poke support - Smolder's weak early game and Cho'Gath's limited engage range favor your duo.
- Post-6 you maintain advantage through your R disengage and better 2v2 damage output compared to Smolder's scaling-dependent kit.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q through minions to poke and set up feathers, then look for E root when they step up to farm or when Cho'Gath misses Q.
- Coordinate with Senna's Q poke and use your superior range to force them away from farm.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Maintain slow pushes to keep pressure while allowing Senna to collect souls, but avoid hard shoving unless you can recall safely.
- Control minion positioning to maximize your feather angles and deny Cho'Gath easy engage opportunities.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use R aggressively for damage - save it as disengage tool against Cho'Gath's engage or potential ganks.
- Avoid fighting in tight spaces where Cho'Gath's Q becomes easier to land and limits your kiting potential.
