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 Rengar

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay away from brush

    Stay away from brush in lane: from a brush, Unseen Predator (passive) lets him leap onto you with a single auto.

  2. Trade when his Ferocity is low

    Take a trade when his Ferocity is low: at max, his next spell is empowered, and Bola Strike (E) roots you instead of slowing you.

  3. Group up when he's hunting you

    Move closer to your allies as soon as an indicator appears over your head: Rengar is hunting you, camouflaged, with Thrill of the Hunt (R).
