ViegoViego's abilities
Passive, spells and ultimate
Enemies who fall before Viego become wraiths. By attacking a wraith, Viego temporarily seizes control of the dead enemy's body, healing for a percentage of his target's max health and gaining access to their basic abilities and items. He replaces their Ultimate with a free cast of his own.

Playing against Viego
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Don't group your kills on your side: Viego can possess each body and reset his HP/spells.
Burst him when he exits a possession: there's a short window of vulnerability.
His W mist has a limited duration and he's detectable by Control Wards.
Focus the real Viego, not the possessed body — he'll return to his original body after possession.
