Learn how to Vex counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Engage on Vex when her W (Personal Space) is on cooldown — without this ability, she loses both her shield and close-range damage, making her significantly more vulnerable to all-ins.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Avoid standing in your minion wave when facing Vex — her Q can hit both you and the wave simultaneously, allowing her to efficiently clear minions while poking you down.
Basic Lane Phase
Force fights when Vex's ultimate is on cooldown — her R has a long cooldown (140/120/100 seconds) and without it, she lacks engage potential and kill pressure.
Team Fight Skirmish
Position yourself to intercept Vex's R when she targets your backline — her Shadow stops at the first champion hit, preventing her from reaching your carries.
Advanced Team Fight Late Game
Vex's passive Doom (purple glow around her) empowers her next basic ability to fear enemies. When this aura is missing, she lacks her crowd control.
Basic Lane Phase Team Fight
Bait out Vex's W with poke damage before committing to an all-in — without her shield, she's much easier to burst down in an extended trade.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Recall in safe locations (behind towers or out of vision) — Vex can use her R to snipe you from medium range during vulnerable recall animations.
Basic Lane Phase
Fight closer to Vex when she casts her E (Looming Darkness) — the explosion radius increases with cast distance, making it harder to dodge when she casts from far away.
Advanced Skirmish Team Fight
Spread out from teammates during skirmishes — Vex excels at dealing AOE damage with her Q and E abilities, especially when enemies are grouped together.
Team Fight Skirmish
Use your dash abilities strategically against Vex — her passive marks enemies who dash near her, dealing bonus damage when she hits them with an attack or ability.
