What makes Vex dangerous
Vex's passive periodically empowers her spells to FEAR — and every enemy DASH marks them for punishment: her personal doom for mobile champions. She shields, pokes in cones, and her ultimate is a long-range missile she can follow into an execute, resetting on takedowns.
How to play against Vex
- 1Don't dash INTO her when the Doom passive is up — you feed the fear engine.
- 2Immobile champions ironically play best against her.
- 3Her ult resets on takedown — don't let her cleanup snowball fights.
- 4Punish her outside passive windows: she's a mediocre mage between them.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓Short range for a control mage.
- ✓Passive windows are visible — trade between them.
- ✓Immobile herself: hard engage (walk, don't dash) sticks.
- ✓The ult telegraphs its follow-up — peel the landing.
Abilities & how to counter them
What each of Vex's abilities does — and how to play around it.
P
Noia e DoloreVex viene periodicamente potenziata, permettendo alla sua abilità successiva di impaurire i nemici e di interrompere gli scatti. Ogni volta che un nemico vicino scatta, Vex applica un marchio che può essere consumato per infliggere danni bonus, riducendo anche la ricarica del suo stato potenziato.
Strong: periodic Doom empowers a spell with FEAR; enemy dashes get marked for punishment. Weak: the windows are visible on her — trade between them.
Q
SpettropulsarLancia un proiettile che infligge danni e accelera durante il volo.
Strong: a long accelerating poke bolt. Weak: it shrinks mid-flight — long-range dodges are easy.
W
Spazio personaleOttiene uno scudo e danneggia i nemici vicini.
Strong: an instant AoE shield-burst that punishes divers on top of her. Weak: short radius — poke her from outside it.
E
Nero potereEvoca una zona di rallentamento che infligge danni e applica Dolore ai nemici.
Strong: a slowing shadow that marks for her Q/passive chains. Weak: slow arc — the setup telegraphs the whole combo.
R
Cucitura d'OmbraSpara un proiettile che marchia un campione nemico. Rilancia per scattare verso di lui e infliggere danni.
Strong: a long missile she follows into burst — RESETS on takedowns. Weak: peel the arrival and the reset chain never starts.
Itemization
Walk up, don't dash in. Fight between doom windows and peel her ult landings — she starves without resets.
