Abilities

Edit

Organic Deconstruction

	Innate: Vel'Koz's abilities apply a Deconstruction stack for 7 seconds, stacking up to 3 times. Basic attacks on-hit and further applications refresh the duration.
	The third stack consumes them all to deal 33 − 169 (based on level) (+ 50% AP)  bonus true damage.

Edit

Plasma Fission

TARGET RANGE: 1050 / 1100 CAST TIME: 0.25 COST: 40 / 45 / 50 / 55 / 60 Mana COOLDOWN: 7

	Active: Vel'Koz fires a plasma bolt in the target direction that collides with the first enemy hit to deal them magic damage and slow them by 70% for a few seconds, decaying over the duration. Plasma Fission can be recast after 0.25 seconds.	Magic Damage: 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 / 240 (+ 80% AP) Slow Duration: 1 / 1.4 / 1.8 / 2.2 / 2.6
	At the end of its range or upon colliding with an enemy, the bolt splits in half, each part firing in opposite directions perpendicular to the primary bolt's trajectory, both dealing the same damage and applying the same slow to the first enemy they collide with.
	Recast: Vel'Koz splits Plasma Fission early.
	Plasma Fission restores  mana per target killed.	Mana Restored On-Kill: 20 / 22.5 / 25 / 27.5 / 30 Maximum Mana Restored: 60 / 67.5 / 75 / 82.5 / 90

Notes

• The initial cast counts as an ability activation for the purposes of on-cast effects such as Spellblade and stacking Force Pulse.
  • Detonating the ability manually does not.
• An enemy cannot be hit by multiple bolts even when having blocked one with a spell shield.
• Plasma Fission can travel a maximum ~1521 units diagonally.
• Plasma Fission will cast from wherever Vel'Koz is at the end of the cast time.

Edit

Void Rift

TARGET RANGE: 1050 CAST TIME: none COST: 50 / 55 / 60 / 65 / 70 Mana + 1 Charge STATIC COOLDOWN: 1.5 RECHARGE: 19 / 18 / 17 / 16 / 15

	Passive: Vel'Koz periodically stocks a Void Rift charge, up to a maximum of 2.
	Active: Vel'Koz opens a rift to the void that cuts through the ground in a line in the target direction over 1 second, dealing magic damage to enemies hit and leaving behind a trail.	Initial Magic Damage: 30 / 50 / 70 / 90 / 110 (+ 15% AP)
	After 0.75 seconds, the trail detonates, dealing magic damage to enemies within and granting sight of the surrounding area for 0.25 seconds.	Detonation Magic Damage: 45 / 75 / 105 / 135 / 165 (+ 25% AP) Total Damage: 75 / 125 / 175 / 225 / 275 (+ 40% AP)

Notes

• Unbreakable and Wind Wall will block the rift from forming over them, but they will not destroy the trail that was created before it.
• Spell shield only blocks one instance of damage.

Edit

Tectonic Disruption

TARGET RANGE: 800 EFFECT RADIUS: 225 SPEED: 1500 CAST TIME: 0.25 COST: 50 / 55 / 60 / 65 / 70 Mana COOLDOWN: 16 / 15 / 14 / 13 / 12

Active: Vel'Koz hurls a disruptive anomaly that reaches the target location after 0.75 seconds, briefly providing sight, dealing magic damage and knocking up and stunning enemies in the area for 0.75 seconds. If the area is created close to Vel'Koz, enemies hit are also slightly knocked back in the direction of the cast.

Magic Damage: 70 / 100 / 130 / 160 / 190 (+ 30% AP)

Notes

• The required proximity for the knock back is relative to Vel'Koz's position when casting and not his current one.
• Although considered to be a projectile, Unbreakable and Wind Wall will block Tectonic Disruption, but will not destroy it visually.
• The area of effect indicator appears at the start of the cast time.
  • It will persist even if the cast cancels (e.g. Vel'Koz dies before cast time completes) despite the projectile not firing.

Edit

Life Form Disintegration Ray

TARGET RANGE: 1550 CAST TIME: none COST: 100 Mana COOLDOWN: 120 / 100 / 80

	Passive - Researched: Applying 3 Deconstruction stacks to enemy champions marks them as Researched for 7 seconds. Basic attacks on-hit and ability hits refresh this duration.
	Active: After a 0.2-second delay, Vel'Koz channels for up to 2.6 seconds, projecting an energy beam in a line. The ray's trajectory updates itself over the duration to face the target direction. Life Form Disintegration Ray can be recast after 1 second.
	The ray deals magic damage to enemies within it every 0.2 seconds, and slows them by 20%, lingering for 1 second. Deconstruction is applied every 0.7 seconds to enemies hit. Researched enemies take true damage instead.	Damage Per Tick: 34.62 / 48.08 / 61.54 (+ 9.62% AP) Maximum Damage: 450 / 625 / 800 (+ 125% AP)
	Recast: Vel'Koz ends Life Form Disintegration Ray early.

Notes

• Life Form Disintegration Ray's trajectory updates gradually (moving the cursor from one side of Vel'Koz to the other will not make him rotate instantly).
• Vel'Koz will reveal himself during the channel if there is an enemy champion nearby.
• The laser is fixed in front of Vel'Koz.
• The beam covers Vel'Koz's hitbox, damaging enemies standing close.
