Playing as Vel'Koz

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Three spells for the burst

    Hit the same target with three spells: at three stacks, Organic Deconstruction (passive) bursts and deals true damage to them.

  2. Poke and farm with your rift

    Stay back and poke with Void Rift (W): its two charges let you kill minions while stacking your passive on your opponent.

  3. Split your plasma to hit at an angle

    Recast Plasma Fission (Q) to split it: the two bolts fly off at 90 degrees, which lets you hit a target hiding behind their minions.

  4. Start your ray after a knock-up

    Cast Life Form Disintegration Ray (R) after the Tectonic Disruption (E) knock-up: your target can't escape, and the ray deals true damage to targets of Organic Deconstruction (passive).

Playing against Cassiopeia

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her poison

    Dodge Noxious Blast (Q): without poison on you, Twin Fang (E) deals much less damage and doesn't heal her.

  2. Walk around her clouds

    Walk around the Miasma (W) clouds: inside, you're slowed and can't use dashes or jumps.

  3. Turn your back on her R

    Turn your back to her when she casts Petrifying Gaze (R): facing her, you're stunned; facing away, you're only slowed.
