Abilities
Passive, spells and ultimate
Enemies who fall before Viego become wraiths. By attacking a wraith, Viego temporarily seizes control of the dead enemy's body, healing for a percentage of his target's max health and gaining access to their basic abilities and items. He replaces their Ultimate with a free cast of his own.

The passive (Sovereign's Domination) lets you possess dead enemies — you gain their spells and a heal. Possess a champion with a good kit.
Q (Blade of the Ruined King) marks enemies — auto a marked target for bonus damage.
W (Spectral Maw) makes you invisible in the mist — position for surprise engages.
R (Heartbreaker) is a reset dash/execute — chain possessions and R's to clean up teamfights.

Playing against Viego
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Don't group your kills on your side: Viego can possess each body and reset his HP/spells.
Burst him when he exits a possession: there's a short window of vulnerability.
His W mist has a limited duration and he's detectable by Control Wards.
Focus the real Viego, not the possessed body — he'll return to his original body after possession.
