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 Nocturne

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Break his tether

    Move away as soon as Unspeakable Horror (E) tethers you to him: if you get out of range before the tether ends, you aren't feared.

  2. Pop his barrier first

    If you have CC, cast a cheap spell first: Shroud of Darkness (W) only blocks one ability, for 1.5 seconds.

  3. Move closer to your allies

    When Paranoia (R) darkens your vision, move closer to your allies: you can't see them anymore, and he can launch himself at an isolated champion.

  4. Ward your flanks

    Ward your jungle and your flanks: Paranoia (R) lets him launch himself at you from long range, and vision helps you see him coming.
