Viego

Viego is a fighter-assassin for the top and mid lanes who runs without a resource bar. Everything he does depends on possession. Through his passive, Sovereign’s Domination, each champion he kills becomes a wraith. Hit that wraith and Viego takes over the corpse, recovering health based on a percentage of the victim’s max health and borrowing their basic abilities. A single kill during a teamfight can lead to several more as he rotates through the kits he has taken.

How the kit flows

While he is in his own body, Viego attacks with Blade of the Ruined King, a spectral blade that passively adds bonus current-health damage on hit. When it strikes a target he recently hit with an ability, it lands a second time and steals health both times. Spectral Maw is his engage: a charged dash that drops a ball of Black Mist, stunning the first enemy it touches. Harrowed Path lets him push Mist across the terrain and slip inside it as a camouflaged wraith with extra movement and attack speed. Heartbreaker ties the sequence together. It is a teleporting execute that pierces a low-health champion’s heart and sends nearby allies flying with a shockwave.

A common rotation looks like this: E onto a wall to get camouflaged, W to stun from the Mist, Q-weave autos to trigger the double-strike healing, and R to finish. If the target falls, the possession cycle starts again. The drawbacks come straight from the design. Without takedowns he is only an average duelist, and his stun depends on a charged dash that opponents can dodge.

Viego suits players who like improvising and handling a wide range of mechanics. Each possession swaps you into a different champion mid-fight, so getting good with him means learning a large part of the roster.
