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 Vayne

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't fight with your back to a wall

    Don't stand with your back to a wall against her: Condemn (E) knocks you back, and if you hit terrain, you're stunned.

  2. Short, repeated trades

    Take short, repeated trades: she's fragile, and on the third consecutive hit on you, Silver Bolts (W) adds true damage based on your max health.

  3. Don't feed her kills during her ult

    During Final Hour (R), back off rather than risk your life: each champion she kills after damaging them extends the effect.
