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 Twisted Fate

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Back off when he shuffles his cards

    Step out of his attack range when he shuffles his cards with Pick a Card (W): if he locks in the Gold Card, his next auto stuns you.

  2. Engage after his Gold Card

    If you can engage, go in right after his Gold Card: without Pick a Card (W), he has no other stun and no dash to escape.

  3. Play safe when he casts his ult

    As soon as he casts Destiny (R), move closer to your tower if you're low: he sees every champion on your team for 6 to 10 seconds and can teleport to you.

  4. Ping as soon as he disappears

    Ping your team as soon as he leaves your vision: Destiny (R) takes him up to 5500 range away, which lets him gank a nearby lane.
