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
  군주의 지배

  비에고 앞에서 쓰러지는 적은 망령이 됩니다. 망령을 공격하면 비에고가 일시적으로 죽은 적의 몸을 지배하며 대상 최대 체력의 일부만큼 체력을 회복하고 대상의 기본 스킬과 아이템을 사용할 수 있습니다. 적의 궁극기는 제외되는 대신 자신의 궁극기를 비용 소모 없이 한 번 사용할 수 있습니다.

  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
  몰락한 왕의 검

  비에고의 유령 칼날이 적중 시 현재 체력에 비례한 추가 피해를 입히고 최근 비에고의 스킬에 적중당한 적들을 두 번 공격하여 체력을 훔칩니다.비에고는 이 스킬을 사용해 양손검을 찔러 전방의 적을 꿰뚫을 수 있습니다.

• W
  망령의 나락

  비에고가 충전한 다음 전방으로 돌진하여 응축된 검은 안개 구체를 발사하고 처음으로 적중한 적을 기절시킵니다.

• E
  안개의 길

  비에고가 명령을 내려 검은 안개가 지형을 맴돕니다. 비에고가 망령이 되어 안개 속에 숨고 위장 효과, 이동 속도, 공격 속도를 얻습니다.

• R
  심장 파괴자

  비에고가 근처로 순간이동하여 적 챔피언에게 다다르면 심장을 공격하고 파괴적인 충격파를 일으켜 대상 주변의 적을 밀어냅니다.

  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.
