Learn how to play with Vel'Koz with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
When Vel'Koz channels his R, position yourself to intercept enemy engages. His ultimate immobilizes him for up to 2.6 seconds, making him vulnerable to interruption while dealing significant damage.
Basic Team Fight
Wait for Vel'Koz to land his E knockup before using your own crowd control abilities. His E stuns enemies for 0.75 seconds, and chaining CC abilities sequentially creates longer disable periods.
Team Fight Skirmish
Position to fight in narrow pathways and jungle corridors when with Vel'Koz. His geometry-based abilities are most effective in confined spaces where enemies have limited dodging options.
Team Fight Skirmish
When Vel'Koz lands his Q on an enemy champion, capitalize on the 70% slow to land your own abilities. This creates a window of opportunity lasting 1-2.6 seconds (depending on his Q level) for free damage.
Lane Phase Skirmish
If enemies attempt to dive your lane, prioritize protecting Vel'Koz. His lack of mobility makes him especially vulnerable, but his E can disrupt dives if he survives the initial burst.
Lane Phase
Target enemies with visible purple marks (Vel'Koz's passive stacks). The third stack triggers bonus true damage, so coordinating attacks on these marked enemies creates burst damage opportunities.
Advanced Team Fight Skirmish
When Vel'Koz reaches level 6, be ready for potential all-ins. His ultimate applies his passive quickly and can output surprising damage even in a poke-oriented lane, creating kill opportunities.
Basic Lane Phase
Accompany Vel'Koz when he needs to place deep vision. His immobility makes solo warding dangerous in contested areas, and he relies on teammates for protection when moving through unwarded territory.
Basic Late Game
Vel'Koz's only self-protection is his E knockup. When this ability is on cooldown (12-14 seconds early game), play more cautiously as he's extremely vulnerable to all-ins and ganks.
