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 Miss Fortune

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't stand behind low minions

    Don't stay behind a low-health minion: if Double Up (Q) kills it, the bounce that hits you always crits.

  2. Cut her speed with a small hit

    Hit her regularly, even with a small hit: Strut (W) only grants her passive move speed after a few seconds without taking damage.

  3. Go in if you can

    If you can engage, get on top of her: Miss Fortune has no dash or leap, only the speed from Strut (W).

  4. Interrupt her Bullet Time

    If you have CC, save it for Bullet Time (R): she channels in place, and interrupting her cancels the remaining waves.
