Playing as Vex

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Save your empowered spell for a dash

    When Doom 'n Gloom (passive) is ready, save Personal Space (W) for the enemy who jumps on you: the shockwave fears them and interrupts their dash, and you gain a shield.

  2. Make every dash cost them

    When an enemy dashes near you, Doom 'n Gloom (passive) marks them: hit them with Mistral Bolt (Q) for bonus damage, and your empowerment comes back sooner.

  3. Ult in, then Personal Space

    After the Shadow Surge (R) dash, follow up with Personal Space (W): the shield protects you on arrival, and the shockwave fears if Doom 'n Gloom (passive) is ready.

  4. Chain your ults

    If the champion marked by Shadow Surge (R) dies shortly after being hit by it, its cooldown is reset for a moment: recast it right away at another target.

Playing against LeBlanc

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Break her chain

    As soon as Ethereal Chains (E) tethers you, move away from her: if you stay chained for 1.5 seconds, you're rooted and take extra damage.

  2. Trade after her Distortion

    Trade while Distortion (W) is on cooldown: it's her dash both to get in and to get out, and it comes back in 15 to 10 seconds.

  3. Save your protection for her burst

    If you have a shield or a heal, save it for her combo: Sigil of Malice (Q) detonates as soon as another spell hits you, and all her damage lands at once.

  4. Aim at her return point

    If you have CC, aim at the starting point of her Distortion (W): within 4 seconds, she can return there by recasting the spell.

  5. Don't hit the wrong LeBlanc

    When she drops below 40% health, find the real LeBlanc before hitting: Mirror Image (passive) makes her invisible for 1 second and leaves a copy that deals no damage.
