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 Rek'Sai

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Bite at full Fury

    Save Furious Bite (E) for when your Fury bar is full: the bite then deals true damage.

  2. Un-burrow under your target

    Come out of the ground with Un-burrow (W) under your target: they and nearby enemies take a knock-up, so you can engage or interrupt a channel.

  3. Void Rush a wounded target

    Cast Void Rush (R) on an enemy you damaged in the last few seconds: untargetable, then unstoppable, you lunge at them, and your Un-burrow (W) comes back.

  4. Burrow to cross the map

    Cast Burrow (W) before crossing the map: your Tremor Sense reveals to your team nearby enemies who move unseen.

  5. Dig your tunnels in advance

    Dig with Tunnel (E) near lanes to gank and on your escape routes: each tunnel lasts and can be reused, but an enemy standing on an entrance destroys it.

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.
