Why Grasp of the Undying
Cho'Gath is known for getting insane amounts of health and Grasp exemplifies that, giving even more health and damage for being so tanky.
Why Demolish
All that stacking max health allows you to easily do half a tower's health with a single auto-attack with Demolish
Why Conditioning
Effective health comes from multiplying health with resists. Grasp and and you ultimate stacking health pairs very nicely with **Conditioning** to make you very tanky.
Why Revitalize
Revitalize synergizes well with the heal from Grasp, especially when you have stacked a lot of health, as well as empowering your ability to build your Overheal shield in the laning phase.
WhyAbsorb Life
Overheal on Cho'Gath allows you to sustain for massive amount of poke damage in lane when last-hitting with your passive. The extra bit of shield scales with your large health pool.
