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
파멸과 우울벡스가 주기적으로 강화 상태가 되어 다음 기본 스킬로 적 챔피언을 공포에 빠뜨리고 돌진을 방해합니다. 주변 적이 돌진할 때마다 벡스가 적에게 표식을 남깁니다. 표식을 소모해 추가 피해를 입힐 수 있으며 강화 상태의 재사용 대기시간이 감소합니다.
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
안개 화살피해를 입히는 화살을 발사합니다. 화살은 날아가는 동안 속도가 빨라집니다.
Strong: a long accelerating poke bolt. Weak: it shrinks mid-flight — long-range dodges are easy.
W
거리 두기보호막을 얻고 주변 적에게 피해를 입힙니다.
Strong: an instant AoE shield-burst that punishes divers on top of her. Weak: short radius — poke her from outside it.
E
커지는 어둠피해를 입히고 둔화시키는 영역을 소환하며 적에게 우울을 적용합니다.
Strong: a slowing shadow that marks for her Q/passive chains. Weak: slow arc — the setup telegraphs the whole combo.
R
그림자 파동적 챔피언에게 표식을 남기는 발사체를 날립니다. 재사용하면 벡스가 대상에게 돌진하여 피해를 입힙니다.
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.
