GameplayVex is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities
- Gloom will mark Rift Herald and Rift Scuttler when they use their dashes.
- Gloom can mark clones, but not other pets.
- Gloom's mark has a very brief cooldown and refreshes on subsequent dashes or blinks nearby enemies use.
- Gloom's mark duration will refresh to 0.5 seconds when Vex starts an attack windup against a target that has a mark which is about to expire.
- Gloom will mark enemies even if they are untargetable.
- Gloom will mark enemies that are inside the detection radius when they blink, but will not mark those that blink inside from far away.(bug)
- Doom's cooldown starts as soon as the basic ability is cast.
- Non-champions (e.g. Rift Scuttler) are not knocked down by the fear-empowered ability.(bug)
- Spell shield will block all of Doom's effects but not Gloom's empowered attack nor mark.
- Nearby enemies that become displaced do not count for being marked by Gloom.
- Vex's basic abilities use a different icon when Doom is off cooldown:
- Mistral Bolt
- Personal Space
- Looming Darkness
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.
- Shadow Surge cannot be recast while grounded or rooted, or if the target is untargetable.
- Shadow Surge may also be recast if the target died to the ability.
- Vex' dash will track the target if they change locations.
- She will not stop tracking the target until she reaches them, as there is no maximum tracking distance.
- The following table refers for interactions while Vex is dashing:
- All movement spells are disabled during the first 0.25 seconds of the dash.

Champion skins

In the black heart of the Shadow Isles, a lone yordle trudges through the spectral fog, content in its murky misery. With an endless supply of teen angst and a powerful shadow in tow, Vex lives in her own self-made slice of gloom, far from the revolting cheer of the “normie” world. Though she lacks ambition, she is quick to strike down color and happiness, stopping all would-be interlopers with her magical malaise.
