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
  Dominação Monárquica

  Inimigos derrotados por Viego se tornam Espectros. Ao atacá-los, Viego toma controle do corpo do inimigo morto temporariamente, curando-se em um percentual da Vida máxima do alvo e ganhando acesso a seus itens e habilidades básicas. Ele substitui a ultimate da vítima por uma conjuração gratuita de sua própria ultimate.

  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
  Espada do Rei Destruído

  A lâmina espectral de Viego causa uma porcentagem da Vida atual do alvo como dano adicional ao contato de forma passiva e atinge duas vezes os inimigos recentemente afetados por uma Habilidade, roubando Vida.Viego pode ativar essa Habilidade para golpear, perfurando inimigos à frente.

• W
  Posse Espectral

  Viego carrega antes de avançar, lançando uma esfera de Névoa Negra concentrada que atordoa o primeiro inimigo atingido.

• E
  Domínio Atormentado

  Viego ordena que a Névoa Negra assombre e cerque uma porção de terreno. Ele pode se esconder na Névoa como um Espectro, recebendo Camuflagem, Velocidade de Movimento e Velocidade de Ataque.

• R
  Destruidor de Corações

  Viego teleporta-se para um local próximo e executa um Campeão inimigo ao chegar, atravessando seu coração e liberando uma onda de choque destrutiva que empurra os inimigos.

  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.
