The passive (Organic Deconstruction) deals true damage at the 3rd stack — hit 3 spells to proc the true damage. Q then W then E = 3 stacks.
Q (Plasma Fission) splits in two on reactivation or when hitting an enemy — use angles to hit hidden targets.
R (Lifeform Disintegration Ray) is a devastating channeled laser — use it after a knockup (E) to guarantee the damage.
Vel'Koz excels at poke and zone control: stay in the back and spam Q + W to harass.
