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 Qiyana

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Check her weapon's element

    Before a trade, check her weapon's element: with Ice, Elemental Wrath (Q) roots you, and with Wild, the brush element, its trail makes her invisible.

  2. Back off when she changes element

    Back off when she casts Terrashape (W): the spell resets Elemental Wrath (Q), so she can hit you twice in a row.

  3. Stay away from walls and the river

    Don't fight right next to a wall, the river or brush: Supreme Display of Talent (R) explodes along them and stuns enemies there.
