What makes Vel'Koz dangerous
Vel'Koz pokes from extreme range with a splitting Q, knocks up with delayed geysers, and his passive converts stacked hits into TRUE damage — his ultimate beam melts anything it tracks, tanks included. He wins every siege and poke war.
How to play against Vel'Koz
- 1His ult is a channel — any CC ends the beam instantly.
- 2The Q splits at 90° — watch the angle, not just the line.
- 3Flank him: all his damage faces forward, he's helpless up close.
- 4Armor doesn't save you at 3 passive stacks — just don't eat full combos.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓Zero mobility — the definition of dive food.
- ✓The ult roots him in place — free CC window.
- ✓Needs full combos to threaten — spread the hits.
- ✓Squishy artillery: one flank ends him.
Abilities & how to counter them
What each of Vel'Koz's abilities does — and how to play around it.
P
有機分解スキルが命中するたびに対象の「有機分解」が進行していき、3スタックすると確定ダメージを与える。
Strong: three ability hits convert to TRUE damage research. Weak: needs the full combo — spread the hits across the fight.
Q
電離炸裂弾再発動させるか敵に命中するとT字に分裂するプラズマ弾を発射する。この弾は命中した敵にスロウ効果とダメージを与える。
Strong: a right-angle splitting poke with huge reach. Weak: the split angle is fixed — watch the fork, not just the line.
W
ヴォイドの裂谷ヴォイドへ通じる裂け目を大地に呼び出し、触れた敵にダメージを与える。裂け目は少ししてから爆発し、再度ダメージを与える。
Strong: a double-wave line nuke for waveclear and stacks. Weak: narrow and repetitive — strafe the second wave.
E
地殻砕裂指定したエリアを爆発させ、範囲内の敵にダメージを与えてノックアップさせる。至近距離にいる敵は、わずかにふき飛ばされる。
Strong: a delayed AoE knock-up that starts his full combo. Weak: small circle with a wind-up — step out on the flash.
R
生体破壊光線指定方向へ2.5秒間、強力なビームを発射し、触れた敵に魔法ダメージを与える。このスキルによって「有機分解」されて解析が完了したチャンピオンは確定ダメージを代わりに受ける。
Strong: a tracking true-damage beam that melts even tanks. Weak: a CHANNEL that roots him — any CC ends it; flank behind the beam.
Itemization
Interrupt the beam, dive from angles, never siege into his poke. Mobility > resists here.
