Strategy
- During the laning phase, you can use your Void Rift to farm minions and harass your enemy champion simultaneously
- All Vel’Koz abilities are skill-based, which is why you need to have good positioning and predicting skills to hit your opponents and maximize your damage output.
- Shoot your (Q) Plasma Fission diagonally and split it to increase maximum range
- Be wary when using (R) Life Form Disintegration Ray. Stuns, Snares, and other forms of Crowd Controls can interrupt your Ultimate.
- Vel’Koz’s strength comes from his skills being spammable (low Cooldown). However, he is very immobile and vulnerable in close ranges and ganks so be sure to ward and be cautious in going in enemy territory.
- Make sure to use your other skills first before (R) Life Form Disintegration Ray so it deals true damage instead of magic damage from Organic Deconstruction (passive).

Void Staff | Mejai’s Soulstealer | Banshee’s Veil |
Void Staff – Void Staff is a great item if the enemy has a lot of magic resistance and your skills don’t seem to damage the enemies anymore.
Mejai’s Soulstealer – Mejai’s Soulstealer is a high risk, high reward item that can only be very effective if you are very far ahead in the game. This item gives immense power spike when you have fully stacked the item as early as possible.
Banshee’s Veil – Banshee’s Veil is a great item if the enemy AP has a strong crowd control or initiation and you are always getting focused in team fights. It can also be a good item against Blitzcrank or Thresh who has abilities that can catch you off guard and get you killed easily.
Playing Against
- Vel’Koz can prove very dangerous during teamfights and clashes so try to focus on him first
- He has low mobility and vulnerable to ganks
- Life Form Disintegration Ray can be interrupted by stuns, silences, and knockups
- Champions who have dashes and teleports (ie. Zed, Ezreal, Katarina) or have strong pokes (ie. Zed, Fizz, Yasuo) can easily delete Vel’Koz as he doesn’t have the capacity to outrun them
- Try to avoid as much attack from Vel’Koz as you could as even the auto-attacks stacks Vel’Koz’s Organic Deconstruction
Hard Counters
Fizz – Fizz can dodge most of Vel’Koz skill shots with Playful/Trickster and Urchin Strike. Fizz also has the ability to easily catch Vel’Koz with Chum the Waters, making him vulnerable to Fizz’s combo. This is a very hard matchup for Vel’Koz that requires the participation of your jungler all the time to try and outplay Fizz in the laning phase.
Leblanc – Leblanc is also another champion that can jump from one point to another, giving Vel’Koz a hard time landing his skill shots. Leblanc is also one of the more stronger AP mid laner that can kill instantly a squishy target once she catches you with Ethereal Chains.
Ahri – Ahri is also another champion that can traverse the lane towards Vel’Koz with ease. Spirit Dash is a very strong when initiating Vel’Koz, as Vel’Koz will have a hard time aiming his ultimate and Tectonic Destruction. Vel’Koz will pretty much die once Ahri hits Charm and combos him.
