How to beat Vel'Koz

Common role: Mid / Support

A void artillery eye whose true-damage beam disintegrates tanks.

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
  유기물 분해

  벨코즈가 스킬을 적중시키면 대상에게 유기물 분해 중첩이 쌓입니다. 3회 중첩 시 대상은 큰 고정 피해를 입습니다.

  Strong: three ability hits convert to TRUE damage research. Weak: needs the full combo — spread the hits across the fight.

• Q
  플라즈마 분열

  벨코즈가 플라즈마 광선을 발사하고 나서 스킬을 재사용하거나 적에게 맞으면 광선이 둘로 갈라집니다. 이 광선은 적중 시 둔화를 적용하고 피해를 입힙니다.

  Strong: a right-angle splitting poke with huge reach. Weak: the split angle is fixed — watch the fork, not just the line.

• W
  공허 균열

  벨코즈가 공허로 통하는 균열을 열어 최초 피해를 입힌 다음, 잠시 시간이 지난 후 두 번째 폭발로 피해를 가합니다.

  Strong: a double-wave line nuke for waveclear and stacks. Weak: narrow and repetitive — strafe the second wave.

• E
  지각 붕괴

  벨코즈가 일정 범위를 폭발시켜 적을 띄우고, 가까이 있는 적들은 약간 멀리 밀어냅니다.

  Strong: a delayed AoE knock-up that starts his full combo. Weak: small circle with a wind-up — step out on the flash.

• R
  생물 분해 광선

  벨코즈가 정신을 집중하고 광선을 발사하면, 광선이 2.5초 동안 커서 위치를 따라가며 마법 피해를 입히고 적을 둔화시킵니다. 유기물 분해 연구가 완료된 적 챔피언은 마법 피해 대신 고정 피해를 입습니다.

  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.
