Playing as Viego

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. An auto after each spell

    Weave in an auto after each spell: thanks to Blade of the Ruined King (Q), your first attack on an enemy damaged by an ability strikes twice and heals you.

  2. Fully charge Spectral Maw

    Charge Spectral Maw (W) when you have time: the longer the charge, the longer the first enemy hit stays stunned, but you're slowed in the meantime.

  3. Strike from the Mist

    Cast Harrowed Path (E) on a wall near your target: inside the Mist, you're camouflaged and gain move speed and attack speed.

  4. Hit the wraith to possess the champion

    After a kill, hit the wraith to trigger Sovereign's Domination (passive): you restore health and take their basic spells and items, but not their ult.

  5. Finish with Heartbreaker

    Cast Heartbreaker (R) to finish: you leave the possessed body and strike the champion with the lowest health percentage, with damage based on their missing health.

Playing against Fizz

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Play hard without his E

    Take your trades when he doesn't have Playful (E), in the early levels or right after he uses it: it's his only dodge, on a 16 to 8 second cooldown.

  2. Back off when his trident glows

    Back off after the empowered Seastone Trident (W) auto: if it doesn't kill, his autos deal bonus magic damage for a few seconds.

  3. Dodge his fish

    Dodge the Chum the Waters (R) fish by stepping aside: it attaches to the first champion hit and slows them, then a shark knocks them into the air.

  4. Move away if the fish has you

    If the Chum the Waters (R) fish attaches to you, move away from your allies: the shark knocks back and damages everyone around you.
