Abilities

Sovereign's Domination

PC
Passive

Innate: Whenever Viego scores an enemy champion takedown while alive and within 3 seconds of damaging them, a Mist Wraith spawns from that champion's corpse for 8 seconds. Viego can basic attack a Mist Wraith to consume it: causing him to blink to its location after winding up for 1 second, during which he is untargetable (except to turrets) and lockout. He then gains Possession and heals himself for 2% (+ 2.5% per 100 bonus AD) (+ 2% per 100 AP) (+ 5% per 100% bonus attack speed) of the target's maximum health.

Possession: For 10 seconds, Viego assumes the enemy champion's form and gains their basic attacks, basic abilities, items, and base stats (based on Viego's level). He also gains a free cast of Heartbreaker, which is initially placed on a 1.5-second cooldown, and 10% bonus movement speed while facing enemy champions within 2500 units.

Viego cannot use item actives, consumable items, nor the shop during Possession. Casting Heartbreaker or attacking a Mist Wraith ends Possession immediately.

Blade of the Ruined King

PC
Q

Passive: Viego's basic attacks are empowered to deal bonus physical damage on-hit, which has a minimum threshold and is capped at 80 against monsters. This damage is affected by critical strike modifiers.

Additionally, his damaging abilities apply a mark to enemies hit for 4 seconds. Viego's next basic attack against a marked target is empowered to consume the mark on-hit to strike a second time, dealing 20% AD (+ 15% AP) physical damage and heal him for 135% of the post-mitigation damage dealt. The healing based on damage dealt is increased to 145% against monsters and reduced to 50% against minions.

The second strike applies on-hit effects at 100% effectiveness and can critically strike for if the triggering attack does.

Cooldown5 to 3Range-25 - 600

Spectral Maw

PC
W

Active: Viego channel while being slow by 10% for up to 3 seconds to increase Spectral Maw's missile range and stun duration over the first second of the channel.

Spectral Maw can be recast within the duration. If the charge completes without reactivation, Spectral Maw is cancelled and placed on full cooldown. If the charge is interrupt, it will be placed on a 3-second cooldown.

Recast: Viego hurls a blast of mist in the target direction and dash a fixed distance in the same direction, though not through terrain. The mist deals magic damage to the first enemy hit and stuns them for type=channel time% seconds.

Cooldown8

Harrowed Path

PC
E

Active: Viego sends a spectre in the target direction that creates a trail of mist in its wake which lasts 8 seconds. If it hits terrain, the mist will spread further around either side.

While inside the mist, Viego gains bonus attack speed. If he does not attack or cast abilities, he also gains bonus movement speed and camouflage.

Declaring a basic attack or casting an ability will break the camouflage and remove the bonus movement speed, preventing Viego from gaining them again for 1 second, increased to 2 seconds if he attacked a large monster. This duration refreshes on subsequent attacks and ability casts.

Cooldown14 to 6Range775 / 8000

Heartbreaker

PC
Ultimate

Active: Viego gains displacement immunity over the cast time, then blink to the target location. Upon arrival, he strikes the most wounded enemy champion nearby, dealing physical damage, slow them by 99% for 0.25 seconds, and applying on-hit effects at 100% effectiveness. Other nearby enemies are airborne up to 400-units away based on proximity, though not through terrain.

All targets hit are dealt % AD physical damage.

If a Sovereign's Domination is discarded, Heartbreaker will be placed on a 1.5-second cooldown if it is not already on cooldown. Heartbreaker will cast at max range if cast beyond that.
