Vel'Koz editorial outlook for patch 7.1f

By WRC Studio ~ 1 min read Patch 7.1f

Vel'Koz is a burst mage in the Mid Lane or support, an alien researcher who stacks Deconstruction on enemies hit by abilities to trigger true damage procs. His ultimate Lifeform Disintegration Ray fires a continuous laser dealing massive sustained damage over a wide area. His precise hitboxes reward accurate aim with some of the highest damage output in the game. In Wild Rift, Vel'Koz thrives in zone-damage compositions where his AoE lasers and disintegration ultimate melt grouped enemies.

Vel'Koz fits in poke or CC compositions that keep enemies in place for his skill shots. He benefits from allies who can protect his position and CC targets for him. Research-stacking compositions get the maximum from his true magic damage.

Vel'Koz is exposed against assassins and dive compositions that approach before he places skill shots. His low mobility makes him vulnerable to sudden engage. High-mobility champions easily dodge his slow projectiles.

With Vel'Koz, chain abilities in Q → E → W order to maximize deconstructions and damage. In teamfights, channel your ultimate from the backline on the densest group. Your E knockback CC is valuable for interrupting enemy approaches.
