Viego was tutored by the greatest minds in the land and learned swordsmanship from his father's generals. Due to being the fourth born child of the king, he was largely neglected in favor of his brother and spent his childhood in his shadow. It’s mostly useless but you feel like a god if you pull it off properly.Viego was born centuries ago to the royal family of Camavor, significantly later than his brother. ✦ A trick with Heartbreaker that I have only ever used once in an actual game is to use it behind you and then Flash over a wall, hoping that the enemy with follow with their own Flash, at which point Heartbreaker will transport you back to its target location. Though it can also be used as a mobility spell if the situation really calls for it. This means it should be used as a finisher rather than an opener in the majority of use cases. ✦ Given that Heartbreaker gains a free recast whenever possessing an enemy with Sovereign's Domination, you can view it sort of like Pyke’s Death from Below, as it deals % missing HP damage. Upon arrival, viego deals damage to nearby enemies, knocking all but the most wounded enemy champion back - who takes bonus damage and is slowed by 99% for 0.25 seconds. ✦ Viego discards any champion possessed by Sovereign's Domination and blinks to a target location after a cast time. ✦The only reason we don’t max Spectral Maw second is because it only increases its damage which is insignificant at all stages of the game - but do not labour under the misinterpretation that this ability is absolutely critical to Viego’s combo. ✦ Spectral Maw’s dash does not increase based on channel time, and as such can be used to dodge important skillshots (like Ahri’s Charm) and to escape ganks safely you can also cast Harrowed Path during the channel period to appear from camouflage, though Harrowed Path is also very obvious to enemies. If you can land a full 1.25 second stun in lane or from out of vision (in a brush, for example), it’s usually a guaranteed half health chunk at least, but the short 0.25 second stun can still be useful to get the benefits of Blade of the Ruined King’s passive. ✦ Spectral Maw is obviously best used when fully charged, but is a very telegraphed ability as the enemy can watch you channelling. Releasing W will dash a short distance and fire a blast of mist that stuns for 0.25-1.25 seconds based on channel time. ✦ Viego begins charging for up to 3 seconds, self-slowing for 10%, and gradually increasing Spectral Maw’s range and stun duration over the first second. Blade of the Ruined King should always be maxed first, it’s just too good to pass up on, and makes Viego a great champ. It gives him so much sustain at all points of the game and the active still provides a good amount of damage, making a Q+AA combo a fine way to chunk someone, especially when ahead. ✦ Blade of the Ruined King is functionally very similar to Steel Tempest and Mortal Steel, just with a slightly longer range (making Yasuo and Yone very easy matchups), but with an added passive that is INSANE. ✦ ACTIVE: Viego thrusts his sword, dealing damage to enemies hit, with a percentage damage increase based on critical strike chance. This passive is maintained during Sovereign's Domination, converting the second strike to bonus on hit damage instead. His abilities mark damaged enemies for 4 seconds, causing his next basic attack to strike twice, dealing less damage on the second strike, and healing him for 150% of damage dealt, reduced greatly against minions. ✦ PASSIVE: Viego deals bonus damage on hit (akin to the passive of Blade of the Ruined King. If possible during teamfights, get your team to focus the fed enemy, as if you can kill them, now you’re the fed one! This concept makes Viego an insane comeback champ, as one kill can turn you into a beast for 10 seconds, which is long enough to win a critical fight. Every kill (or assist) in fights nets you a free heal and cast of Heartbreaker, which can turn fights around incredibly quickly. ✦ Viego’s passive is what makes him so iconic. He also gains a small amount of movement speed towards enemy champions. After levelling Heartbreaker, this possession grants him a free cast after 1.5 seconds. ✦ Possession lasts for 10 seconds and causes Viego’s attacks, abilities, items, and stats to be replaced by that champion’s own. Viego can right click this wraith to possess it healing himself and becoming untargetable for 1 second before becoming that champion. ✦ Whenever an enemy dies within 3 seconds of being damaged by Viego, a Mist Wraith of that champion spawns in place for 8 seconds.
