Playing as Vex
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
