Strength by game phase

Viego's abilities

Passive, spells and ultimate

Sovereign's Domination (P)

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 as Elise

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Start human, finish spider

    Start in human form with Cocoon (E) then Neurotoxin (Q), strong on a high-health target. Finish in spider form with Venomous Bite (Q), strong on a low-health target.

  2. Drop on your target to finish

    In spider form, save Rappel (E) to finish or to escape: landing on your target empowers Spider Queen (passive), and Rappel's long cooldown leaves you vulnerable afterward.

  3. Speed up your spiders

    In spider form, cast Skittering Frenzy (W) once you're on your target: you and your spiderlings gain attack speed, and they attack the target you bite.

  4. Gank early and often

    Gank early and often: Cocoon (E) stuns the first enemy hit from range, and Elise is strongest before everyone has their items.

Playing against Viego

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge his Spectral Maw

    Get out of his line when he charges Spectral Maw (W): he dashes and stuns the first enemy hit, for longer the longer he charged.

  2. Back off after each of his spells

    Don't stay in melee range after one of his spells: thanks to Blade of the Ruined King (Q), his next auto strikes twice and heals him.

  3. Don't be the lowest in his range

    In teamfights, don't stay in his range if your health percentage is the lowest: Heartbreaker (R) strikes that champion, with damage based on their missing health.

  4. Back off when an ally falls near him

    If an ally dies in front of him, back off: by hitting their wraith, Viego restores health and takes their basic spells and items through Sovereign's Domination (passive).

  5. Reveal him in his Mist

    When he disappears into the Harrowed Path (E) Mist, place a Control Ward: it reveals camouflaged enemies, and he's only camouflaged inside the Mist.
