How to beat Viego

Common role: Jungle

A reset skirmisher who possesses the champions he kills to chain-fight.

What makes Viego dangerous

When Viego kills a champion (or gets an assist on a marked target), he possesses their corpse — gaining their abilities, healing, and a free burst — then resets. In a teamfight one kill can spiral into a wipe. He dashes and stuns with his Q-marked hits and dives with his ultimate onto low-health targets.

How to play against Viego

• 1Don't feed his resets: never let him get the first kill in a fight cheaply. Peel and burst him before he possesses an ally and snowballs the fight.
• 2Focus him during his possession window — the possessed body has low health and expires. Killing him ends the chain.
• 3Respect his ult: it dashes onto and executes a low-health target for a guaranteed reset. Don't sit at low HP in his range.
• 4Grievous Wounds cuts the healing he gets from possessing and from his passive. Anti-heal makes his dives far riskier.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓No resets means no snowball — deny the first kill.
• ✓Possessed body is low-health and time-limited.
• ✓Squishy skirmisher; hard CC and burst punish him.
• ✓Healing cut by Grievous Wounds.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Viego's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  王の支配

  ヴィエゴの周囲で倒された敵は亡霊になる。ヴィエゴは亡霊に通常攻撃を行うことで、その倒された敵の死体を一時的に操れるようになり、対象の最大体力の一定割合にあたる体力を回復し、対象の通常スキルとアイテムを使用できる。対象のアルティメットスキルは自身のものと入れ替わり、自由に1回発動できるようになる。

  Strong: possesses champions he kills, gaining their kit, healing and a reset. Weak: deny him the first kill and focus the possessed body — it's low-health and expires.

• Q
  滅びの王剣

  自動効果により、霊体の刃が通常攻撃時効果で現在体力に応じた追加ダメージを与える。直前にスキルで攻撃した敵には2回攻撃を行い、体力を奪う。このスキルを発動すると、剣で前方に突きを放ち、自身の前にいる敵を貫く。

• W
  亡霊の嘆き

  チャージしてから前方にダッシュし、凝縮した「黒き霧」を発射して最初に当たった敵をスタンさせる。

• E
  彷徨える苦悶

  「黒き霧」を出現させて、地形の周囲を覆う。自身は「霧」の中では亡霊となって隠れることができ、カモフラージュ状態となり、移動速度と攻撃速度が増加する。

• R
  ハートブレイカー

  近くの地点に瞬間移動し、到着時に敵チャンピオンを斬りつけ、対象の心臓を貫いて衝撃を発生させ、周囲の敵をノックバックさせる。

  Strong: dashes onto and executes a low-health target for a guaranteed reset. Weak: don't sit at low HP in his range, and Grievous Wounds cuts his healing.

Itemization

Viego is AD with reset-fueled healing. Grievous Wounds cuts his sustain, armor and hard CC punish his dives, and the key is denying him the kills that fuel his resets. Peel your carries so he can't chain a fight.
