Vel'Koz Matchups Overview

Vel'Koz General information

Vel'Koz tips and tricks

Try to delay a team fight for as long as possible while you poke the enemy down with your Plasma FissionQ and Void RiftW.

Your Ultimate Life Form Disintegration RayR is a channel which leaves you vulnerable. Try to use your Ultimate Life Form Disintegration RayR from a distance and in a safe position to avoid dying.

Dominate the laning phase by constantly poking the enemy with your Plasma FissionQ and Void RiftW.
