Viego is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities
- Viego will copy the possessed champion's ability ranks.
- Viego cannot level up their abilities with his available skill points.
- While winding up on a Mist Wraith, Viego is unable to move, basic attack, or cast his abilities, but he can still use some item actives and summoner spells.
- The wind up can only be interrupted by death.
- The wind up can only be interrupted by
- Mist Wraiths will not expire while Viego is winding up on them.
- The wind up's untargetability does not destroy in-flight projectiles from turrets.
- The possessed champion's abilities do not cost any mana or energy even if that specific champion normally uses either as a casting resource.
- Alternative resources, such as Fury, Flow, or Health, will still be utilized.
- Alternative resources, such as
- The current cooldowns of Viego's and the possessed champion's abilities will not be reset between transformations. They will continue ticking down in the background.
- The passive cooldowns of items are shared between Viego's and the possessed champion's.
- Once possession ends, Viego returns to his normal state and certain effects gained from the possessed champion's abilities will be immediately removed.
- Some buffs will be kept and some buffs will be lost.
- Viego will almost always keep shields and spell shields.
- Passive effects will be lost by default, as Viego no longer has their abilities.
- Viego will almost always keep
- Channeled abilities maintained will be interrupted.
- Toggled abilities will be automatically toggled off.
- Some buffs will be kept and some buffs will be lost.
- Viego retains his own summoner spells, trinket item, and runes during possession.
- Mist Wraiths will not spawn while Viego is dead.
- Sovereign's Domination will not summon a Mist Wraith from clones.
- The possession will not expire while Viego is in a zombie state.
- While in a zombie state, Heartbreaker is disabled.
- While in a zombie state,
- The possession will not end prematurely if Viego enters resurrection.
- The possession will acquire the basic abilities of shapeshifting champions (e.g. Elise's Spider Form / Human Form, Jayce's Transform Mercury Cannon / Transform Mercury Hammer, and Nidalee's Aspect of the Cougar) based on which form they died as.
- Mist Wraiths are considered clones and can only be targeted by Viego.
- If Viego possesses an enemy champion who owns Dark Seal or Mejai's Soulstealer, he will gain their Glory stacks for the possession.
- As Cull tracks its progress for each player even if they do not possess the item at the time, Viego may discharge stacks for the benefit of 1 each per minion kill, and if Viego killed 100 minions possessing Cull, no matter whether bought himself or acquired via a possessed champion's inventory, he receives the 350 payout and can no longer discharge stacks.
- This entire interaction does not interact with the state of the Cull stacks of the enemy.
- The stacks shown on the item in the inventory and scoreboard may not update properly, however.
- This entire interaction does not interact with the state of the
- If Viego possesses an enemy champion who owns Relic Shield, Steel Shoulderguards, Spellthief's Edge, or Spectral Sickle, the gold gained from using any one of the items will also count towards Viego's own Quest.
- If Viego possesses an enemy champion who owns Tear of the Goddess, the stacks it has will be transferred to his Tear of the Goddess if he owns one.
- The mark will not be applied to the primary target struck by Heartbreaker, but it can triggered from it.
- Blade of the Ruined King's cast time is always 140% of the caster's attack windup time.
- At base attack speed, Viego's attack windup is 0.25 seconds.
- An easy formula to calculate the cast time is [ 0.23 seconds divided by total attack speed ].
- Reducing Viego's attack speed via attack speed reductions also increases Blade of the Ruined King's cast time by the same fraction.
- It is calculated from Viego's total attack speed after cap (2.5) and floor (0.2), making the maximum possible cast time 1.155 seconds.
- Blade of the Ruined King's cast time becomes the same as the standard 0.264 seconds cast time for most abilities at 32.6% bonus attack speed.
- Applies area damage for the thrust and proc damage for the bonus damage on-hit and second strike.
- Blade of the Ruined King strikes from Viego's location at the end of the cast time.
- Viego will not perform the second strike if the first attack was dodged, blocked, and missed.
- The second strike rolls critical strike independently from the triggering attack.
- If the second strike hits a dead unit, Viego will still heal based on the post-mitigation damage that he would deal with it.
- The following table refers for interactions while Viego is channeling:

- Heartbreaker will cast at the edge of its range if the target location is further beyond.
- Heartbreaker will cast at maximum range from the end of Spectral Maw's dash if it is cast during the dash.

- Sovereign's Domination (Innate)
- Innate: Whenever an enemy champion is killed by Viego or dies within 3 seconds of being damaged by him, a Mist Wraith spawns from their corpse for 8 seconds. Viego can basic attack a Mist Wraith to possess it, heal himself for 8% (+ 2.5% per 100 bonus AD) (+ 1.5% per 100 AP) (+ 2.5% per 100% bonus attack speed) of the target's maximum health, and blink to its location after winding up for 1 second, during which he is untargetable (except to turrets).
- Possession lasts for 10 seconds and replaces Viego's basic attacks, basic abilities, items, base stats (based on Viego's level), and appearance with the champion the Mist Wraith was summoned by and grants him a free cast of Heartbreaker that is initially placed on a 1.5-second cooldown. Viego also gains 10% bonus movement speed while moving toward nearby enemy champions during this time.
- Viego cannot use item actives, consumable items, nor the shop while under possession.
- Viego will preserve his current health percentage between transformations.

- Blade of the Ruined King (Q)

- Additionally, Viego's damaging abilities apply a mark to enemies for 4 seconds. Viego's next basic attack against a marked target consumes the mark to strike twice, with the second strike dealing 20% AD (+ 15% AP) physical damage and healing him for 150% of the post-mitigation damage dealt, increased to 155% against monsters. The second strike is affected by critical strike modifiers and, while not under possession, it applies on-hit effects at 100% effectiveness.
- Active: Viego thrusts his blade in the target direction, dealing 25 / 40 / 55 / 70 / 85 (+ 60% AD) physical damage to enemies hit, increased by 0% − 75% (based on critical strike chance), and 10 bonus physical damage against monsters.

- Spectral Maw (W)
- Active: Viego charges while being slowed by 15% for up to 3 seconds to increase Spectral Maw's mist missile range and stun duration over the first second of the channel. Spectral Maw can be recast at any time within its duration.
- If the charge completes without reactivation, Spectral Maw is canceled and goes on full cooldown.
- Recast: Viego hurls a blast of mist in the target direction and dashes a fixed distance in the same direction, though not through terrain. The mist deals 80 / 135 / 190 / 245 / 300 (+ 100% AP) magic damage to the first enemy struck and stuns them for 0.25 − 1.25 (based on channel time) seconds.

- Harrowed Path (E)
- Active: Viego sends a spectre in the target direction that creates a trail of mist along its path which lasts 8 seconds. The mist spreads around the first instance of terrain encountered.
- While inside the mist, Viego gains 30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50% bonus attack speed and, if he is not attacking or casting, he becomes camouflaged and gains 20 / 22.5 / 25 / 27.5 / 30% (+ 4% per 100 AP) bonus movement speed.
- Declaring a basic attack or casting an ability will break the camouflage and remove the bonus movement speed, preventing Viego from gaining them again for 0.6 seconds, refreshing upon further attacks and ability casts.

- Upon arrival, Viego creates a blast that deals 120% AD physical damage to all nearby enemies, increased by 0% − 75% (based on critical strike chance), and knocks back all but one up-to 400 units away based on proximity.
- The most wounded enemy champion, alternatively the closest one, is not knocked back and instead takes the blow from Viego's blade, which deals 15 / 20 / 25% (+ 3% per 100 bonus AD) of the target's missing health bonus physical damage, slows them by 99% for 0.5 seconds, and applies on-hit effects at 100% effectiveness.
