Learn how to play with Vel'Koz with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Protect Vel'Koz while he channels his R — the channel lasts up to 2.6 seconds and is interrupted by any hard crowd control, including stuns, roots, and knock ups, so shielding him from enemy CC lets him land his full damage.
Team Fight
Chain your own crowd control right after Vel'Koz's E lands — the knockup and stun only lasts 0.75 seconds, so following up immediately extends the disable and keeps enemies locked down for a full combo.
Skirmish Team Fight
Look to fight in chokepoints and narrow corridors with Vel'Koz — his Q, W, and R all hit an area, so forcing enemies into tight spaces lets him hit multiple targets and stack his passive faster.
Team Fight
When Vel'Koz lands his Q, follow up quickly — it slows the target by 70%, decaying over up to 2.6 seconds at max rank, giving you a long window to land your own crowd control or close in for a kill.
Skirmish Lane Phase
Focus enemies marked as "Researched" while Vel'Koz channels his R — three stacks of his passive mark a target for 7 seconds, and his ultimate deals true damage instead of magic damage to them, bypassing magic resistance.
Team Fight
Vel'Koz has no mobility outside of his E's knockup — protect him from divers and flankers in lane, especially once his E is on cooldown, since he has no other way to create space or escape.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
Vel'Koz's R becomes available at level 6 and is a massive power spike — look to coordinate an all-in around this level, since it adds significant kill pressure he lacked before.
