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 Nunu & Willump

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Change direction against his snowball

    Change direction sharply when Biggest Snowball Ever! (W) comes at you: it moves fast, but he turns slowly while pushing it.

  2. Move away from Willump

    If the Snowball Barrage (E) snowballs slow you, move away from Willump: when the spell ends, he roots slowed enemies close to him.

  3. Leave his blizzard fast

    Get out of Absolute Zero (R) fast, or interrupt it if you have CC: the slow grows stronger, and the explosion hurts more the longer he channels.

  4. Don't leave him alone on an objective

    Don't leave him alone on an objective: Consume (Q) deals true damage to monsters and adds to his Smite to finish the dragon.
