Viego'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 as Sejuani
Tips to maximize your impact
- Land both Winter's Wrath swings
Land both Winter's Wrath (W) swings: the second deals most of the damage and slows, and each one applies a Frost stack.
- Permafrost at 4 Frost stacks
Cast Permafrost (E) as soon as your target has 4 Frost stacks: Winter's Wrath (W) and your melee allies' autos apply them.
- Shatter your stunned target
Hit a target you just stunned: Fury of the North (passive) shatters them for heavy magic damage.
- Engage with Arctic Assault
Engage with Arctic Assault (Q): enemies you pass through take a knock-up, and the charge stops on the first champion hit.
- Glacial Prison from a distance
Cast Glacial Prison (R) at their carry from far enough away: past a quarter of its range, the stun lasts longer and a storm slows nearby enemies.
Playing against Viego
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
