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
Zagłada i MrokVex co jakiś czas zostaje wzmocniona, przez co jej następna podstawowa umiejętność przestrasza wrogów i przerywa ich doskoki. Za każdym razem, gdy wróg w pobliżu doskakuje, Vex nakłada na niego znak, który można zużyć i zadać dodatkowe obrażenia. Skraca on również czas odnowienia jej wzmocnionego stanu.
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
Porywisty PociskWystrzel zadający obrażenia pocisk, który przyspiesza w trakcie lotu.
Strong: a long accelerating poke bolt. Weak: it shrinks mid-flight — long-range dodges are easy.
W
Przestrzeń OsobistaZyskaj tarczę i zadaj obrażenia pobliskim wrogom.
Strong: an instant AoE shield-burst that punishes divers on top of her. Weak: short radius — poke her from outside it.
E
Otulająca CiemnośćStwórz obszar, który zadaje obrażenia wrogom, spowalnia ich i spowija Mrokiem.
Strong: a slowing shadow that marks for her Q/passive chains. Weak: slow arc — the setup telegraphs the whole combo.
R
Wzbierający CieńWystrzel pocisk, który oznacza wrogich bohaterów. Użyj ponownie, by do nich doskoczyć i zadać obrażenia.
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.
