Sovereign's Domination

Innate: Scoring an enemy champion takedown will spawn a Mist Wraith for a period. Viego can consume the Mist Wraith to briefly become untargetable and blink to it, which heals him for a portion of the target's maximum health and grants Possession. Casting Heartbreaker or consuming a Mist Wraith will end Possession early. Possession: For a period, Viego's items, stats, basic attacks, and basic abilities become those of the slain enemy's. He also gains a free cast of Heartbreaker and  bonus movement speed while facing an enemy champion.

Innate: Whenever Viego scores an enemy champion takedown while alive and within 3 seconds of damaging them, a Mist Wraith spawns from that champion's corpse for 8 seconds. Viego can basic attack a Mist Wraith to consume it: causing him to blink to its location after winding up for 1 second, during which he is untargetable (except to turrets) and unable to act. He then gains Possession and heals himself for 2% (+ 2.5% per 100 bonus AD) (+ 2% per 100 AP) (+ 5% per 100% bonus attack speed) of the target's maximum health.

Possession: For 10 seconds, Viego assumes the enemy champion's form and gains their basic attacks, basic abilities, items, and base stats (based on Viego's level). He also gains a free cast of Heartbreaker, which is initially placed on a  1.5-second cooldown, and  10% bonus movement speed while facing enemy champions within 2500 units.

Viego cannot use item actives, consumable items, nor the shop during Possession. Casting Heartbreaker or attacking a Mist Wraith ends Possession immediately.

Viego will preserve his current health percentage between transformations.

• If Viego possesses an enemy champion who owns Dark Seal or Mejai's Soulstealer, he will gain their Glory stacks for the possession.

5 / 4.5 / 4 / 3.5 / 3

CAST TIME:

0.35 (at base attack speed)

RANGE:

-25 - 600

WIDTH:

125

Passive: Viego's basic attacks deal bonus physical damage by a portion of the target's current health. Viego's damaging abilities apply a mark to enemies hit, his next basic attack will consume the mark to strike a second time, dealing modified physical damage and healing him based on the damage dealt. Active: Viego stabs in a line in the target direction that deals physical damage to enemies hit based on his  critical strike chance. Blade of the Ruined King's passive remains under Possession.

Passive: Viego's basic attacks are empowered to deal bonus physical damage on-hit, which has a minimum threshold and is capped at 80 against monsters. This damage is affected by critical strike modifiers.

Bonus Physical Damage:

2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6% of target's current health

Minimum Bonus Damage:

10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30

Additionally, his damaging abilities apply a mark to enemies hit for 4 seconds. Viego's next basic attack against a marked target is empowered to consume the mark on-hit to strike a second time, dealing 20% AD (+ 15% AP) physical damage and healing him for 135% of the post-mitigation damage dealt. The healing based on damage dealt is increased to 145% against monsters and reduced to 50% against minions.

The second strike applies on-hit effects and can critically strike for (175% +  40%) damage if the triggering attack does.

Active: Viego stabs in a line in the target direction that deals physical damage to enemies hit. Blade of the Ruined King deals 15 bonus physical damage against monsters.

Physical Damage:»

15 / 30 / 45 / 60 / 75 (+ 70% AD)
 × (1 + 100% critical strike chance)

«Monster Damage:

30 / 45 / 60 / 75 / 90 (+ 70% AD)
 × (1 + 100% critical strike chance)

Blade of the Ruined King's passive remains under Possession, and while transformed, the second strike is instead converted to bonus damage on-hit which no longer applies on-hit effects but can still critically strike (based on possessed stats).

• 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, basic damage for the second strike, and proc damage for the bonus damage on-hit.
• This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.
• Viego will not perform the second strike if the first attack was dodged, blocked, and missed.
• 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 attacks do not deal the bonus damage against structures.

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 1 second, increased to 2 seconds if he attacked a large monster. This duration refreshes on subsequent attacks and ability casts.

Harrowed Path can be cast during any of Viego's abilities. Viego cannot gain the camouflage nor bonus movement speed from Harrowed Path for 1 second if he casted it during Spectral Maw's channel or started the channel while the mist was active.

21.01.2021

Once ruler of a long-lost kingdom, Viego perished over a thousand years ago when his attempt to bring his wife back from the dead triggered the magical catastrophe known as the Ruination. Transformed into a powerful, unliving wraith tortured by an obsessive longing for his centuries-dead queen, Viego now stands as the Ruined King, controlling the deadly Harrowings as he scours Runeterra for anything that might one day restore her, and destroying all in his path as the Black Mist pours endlessly from his cruel, broken heart.

Former leader of a past Lunar Ox Squad, Viego decided that they would fight the Lunar Beast and actually defeat it. His plan ended in tragedy as he watched the rest of his squad be devoured-- including his wife. Viego has stewed in bitterness over these losses for years, blaming everyone but himself -- including this year's Lunar Ox Squad.

V11.2 - Added

• 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)
  • Passive: Viego's basic attacks deal 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6% of the target's current health bonus physical damage on-hit. The bonus damage has a minimum threshold of 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 and is capped at 80 against monsters.
  • 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.
  • Blade of the Ruined King's passive remains under possession.
  • Cooldown: 5 / 4.5 / 4 / 3.5 / 3 seconds.
  • Target Range: 600.
  • Width: 125.
  • Cast Time: 0.35 seconds.
• 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.
  • If the charge is interrupted, Spectral Maw resumes a reduced 3-second static cooldown.
  • Spectral Maw resets Viego's basic attack timer.
  • Cooldown: 8 seconds.
  • Target Range: 300 / 500 – 900 (based on channel time).
  • Width: 120.
  • Speed: 1000 / 1300.
  • Cast Time: None.
• 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.
  • Harrowed Path can be cast during any of Viego's abilities.
  • Cooldown: 14 / 12 / 10 / 8 / 6 seconds.
  • Detection Radius: 400.
  • Cast Time: None.
• Heartbreaker (R)
  • Active: Viego discards his current possession if he has one and gains displacement immunity over the cast time, then blinks to the target location.
  • 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.
  • If a possession is discarded, Heartbreaker will be placed on a 1.5-second cooldown if it is not already on cooldown.
  • Cooldown: 120 / 100 / 80 seconds.
  • Target Range: 500.
  • Effect Radius: 300.
  • Cast Time: 0.5 seconds.

• His champion theme features a segment of the song Blade of the Ruined King by  Pentakill.
• Viego is possibly inspired by the Spanish word viejo (lit. "old") and the name Diego, as his kingdom appears to be inspired by Spain and Camelot.

  • Isolde (~ Iseult) referrences Iseult of Ireland from the chivalric romance Tristan and Iseult
• The first three new champions following Viego's release ( Gwen, Akshan and Vex) were directly tied to his return and continued his story with each release.
• Viego's placeholder was a purple Jarvan IV during his development, due to the similarity between the length of their lance and sword.
• Viego, Blitzcrank, Caitlyn, Lissandra, Rumble, Sion, Varus, Vi, Xerath, and Ziggs are the only champions who can apply crowd control on themselves.

Skirmisher

Slayers (formerly "Assassins") are fragile but agile damage-focused melee champions that look to swiftly take down their targets.

---

Skirmishers (also known as Duelists) aim to shred through any nearby enemy that approaches. Because Skirmishers lack high-end burst damage or reliable ways of closing in on high-priority targets, they are instead armed with situationally powerful defensive tools to survive in the fray, along with extreme sustained damage to cut down even the most durable targets.

Jungle

Within a drafted team, the Jungler is the champion assigned to the jungle. A Jungler needs to be able to clear jungle camps without too much difficulty and ambush other champions in lane.

Divers, Assassins, Skirmishers, and Vanguards are the most likely champions to be selected in the Jungler position.

Manaless

A champion that is manaless does not use nor benefit from  mana or  mana regeneration, and includes the following:

• Energy users
• Flow users
• Fury users
• Heat users
• Health exclusive users
• Resourceless users

League of Legends content

Melee

Melee champions have a basic attack  range usually within 200 units. A melee attack does not use a projectile to deal damage, therefore not subject to effects that mitigate projectiles, like Wind Wall. Some champions can shift between a ranged and melee form, and certain items/runes differ for melee characters.

League of Legends content

Attack windup

The attack windup is a portion of the basic attack animation that must play out in order to launch it. For projectile basic attacks, the windup usually aligns with drawing the projectile on-screen.

---

The attack windup is displayed as a percentage, and any windup modifier is listed as a decimal next to it.

League of Legends content

Attack speed ratio

The Attack speed ratio (AS ratio) adjusts the effectiveness of bonus AS from all sources. It is usually equal to the unit's base AS (level 1 with no bonuses), but tuning to a higher or lower relative value translates to more or less bonus AS received compared to other units with the same base AS.

Total AS = Base AS + Bonus AS × AS Ratio
(All values in decimal form)

---

The ingame stats HUD displays the AS ratio instead of base AS to communicate this comparative effectiveness. The Wiki opts to always list both stats and show the AS ratio as "N/A" if the two are equal.

League of Legends content

Gameplay radius

A unit's gameplay radius is a stat that most closely resembles the concept of a 'hitbox', and is the radius used for edge range effects, which include basic attacks, line collision missiles, rectangular AOEs, and others. The gameplay radius determines the reach of both incoming and outgoing effects: for example, enemies are within a unit's  basic attack range based on the edge of their gameplay radius and vice versa.

League of Legends content

Selection radius

A unit's selection radius is a stat that determines the horizontally furthest point from the center of their model that other players' cursor is allowed to be, while still maintaining the ability to select that unit.

League of Legends content

Pathing radius

A unit's pathing radius is a stat that determines the gameplay area they occupy for unit-collision and pathfinding logic. A unit's center cannot intersect with another unit's pathing radius, unless one of them is ghosted.

League of Legends content

Selection height

A unit's selection height is a stat that determines the vertically furthest point from the center of their model at the ground that other players' cursor is allowed to be, while still maintaining the ability to select that unit.

---

Gameplay in League of Legends takes place in two dimensions no matter the visuals. However, a virtual height dimension that is perpendicular to the ground creates the game's three-dimensional view, which in combination with the camera's perspective necessitates the usage of the selection height.

League of Legends content

Acquisition radius

A unit's acquisition range is a stat that determines the distance at which they will acquire attack targets when a target unit is not specified by the player.

• Auto-attacking automatically orders an idle champion to acquire enemies within this range. This can be disabled in the Settings.
• Attack-move commands scan for targets within this range while moving toward a given location.

 Attack range bonuses modify the champion's acquisition range by the same amount.

Takedown

Takedown refers to a kill or assist being acceptable, with the type of enemy specified in each use case.

---

Takedown is associated with triggering a passive effect, or timed effects shortly after scoring.

Untargetable

A unit that is untargetable is an invalid target; it can neither be selected nor hit by most effects. Effects that have already been applied are not invalidated by the unit becoming untargetable, unless they are special-cased to do so.

---

Becoming untargetable will interrupt acqusition. This also causes non-champions to lose aggro. Many untargetabilities additionally destroy all incoming unit-targeted projectiles.

Blink

A blink refers to a form of movement whereby a unit displaces from point A to B without traversing the space between.

League of Legends content

Heal

Healing replenishes a unit's  current health, but never above their maximum health.

Heartbreaker

COOLDOWN: 120 / 100 / 80

Active: Viego blinks with displacement immunity to the target location and attacks the most wounded enemy champion nearby, which briefly slows them, applies on-hit effects, and deals bonus physical damage by a portion of their missing health.

Other nearby enemies are knocked back and dealt physical damage based on his  critical strike chance.

displacement immunity: The blink cannot be deterred by crowd control.

Turret

A turret, also called a tower, is a fortification that defends a part of territory. It provides vision of the area and autonomously fires homing bolts at nearby enemies, establishing a defensive ground for allies.

Turrets are most notable in Classic, defending against waves of enemy Minions from their ultimate goal of destroying the nexus. Champions work to destroy enemy turrets to push their assault into the enemies' territory. Turrets visually fall apart as they take damage.

League of Legends content

Lockout

A champion that is locked out is unable to perform certain actions such as casting abilities, moving, or attacking. The prevented actions can vary per instance.

---

Lockout does not interact with crowd control mechanics unless otherwise stated.

Untargetable

A unit that is untargetable is an invalid target; it can neither be selected nor hit by most effects. Effects that have already been applied are not invalidated by the unit becoming untargetable, unless they are special-cased to do so.

Homing projectile destruction

Destroying or popping of a projectile references an effect that destroys all homing missiles currently targeting a specific unit, such as ranged projectile-based basic attacks. Destroyed missiles will do the same thing as if they were destroyed by Wind Wall or Blade Whirl (usually vanishing without any effect).

---

The following abilities perform one or more projectile popping events:

• Most abilities and effects that grant untargetability pop projectiles when the unit gains the status effect.
  • Master Yi's Alpha Strike in particular pops targeted projectiles on each game tick for its duration.
  • Gwen's Hallowed Mist pops all projectiles (from enemy champions outside of its area of effect) targeted at her that attempt to pass through or be inside its area of effect.
• Upon entering or leaving Mordekaiser's Realm of Death.
• Upon successfully completing the channel of:
  • Shen's Stand United
  • Twisted Fate's Gate
  • Teleport

League of Legends content

Projectile

A projectile or missile is any entity not classified as a unit ( champion, minion, monster, etc.) that travels at any given velocity.

• Moving units are not considered projectiles under any circumstance (including dashing units, airborne units, or units thrown by some abilities such as Force of Will or Roar of the Slayer.).
• Braum's Unbreakable, Mel's Rebuttal, Samira's Blade Whirl, and Yasuo's Wind Wall can block, destroy and / or stop projectiles.
  • Some ranged basic attacks (including turrets) and abilities don't use projectiles and will bypass projectile-blocking effects.
• Some abilities will destroy all currently incoming homing projectiles.

Mana

 Mana (also known as MP) is a stat that is the resource of many champions necessary to cast most of their abilities. Mana can be restored via mana regeneration and some abilities, items, runes, and buffs.

Mana is represented in-game by the blue bar within the HUD, indicating the champion's current mana and maximum mana. Current mana is reduced by expenditure through paying an ability's mana cost.

League of Legends content

Energy

 Energy is a resource designed to limit how much a champion is able to use their basic abilities during a set time frame rather than through the use of mana. It is represented by a yellow bar instead of blue.

---

Energy has a maximum of 200 (except for Shen, with 400), and regenerates rapidly, at a rate of 10 energy per second. This means that energy champions are not at risk of depleting their resource over a long period of time, however the small capacity restricts the rapid usage of multiple spells.

League of Legends content

Fury

Fury is an umbrella term for many named resources that must be generated before being usable, compared to Mana or Energy that exist in some quantity beforehand. For most users, this resource is only required by a single ability or passive effect.
It represents momentum and encourages sustained aggression from users, often gating a power-spike or empowerment.
Fury generation varies between users, but is always generated in-combat (e.g. on-hit, ability casts or taking damage) and often decays when out of combat.

Known as

• Fury
• Rage
• Battle Fury
• Dragon Fury
• Crimson Rush
• Courage
• Grit
• Awakening

League of Legends content

Flow

Flow is a resource that must be generated before being usable, compared to Mana that exists in some quantity beforehand. It is represented beneath the health bar that is blue until filled, and then white. Unlike Fury and its variants, however, Flow is not affected by the unit's combat status. With only one example of Flow, the validity of this exception may be called into question in the future.

League of Legends content

Health

Some champions use  Health as a resource to cast abilities.

---

While these champions can cast their abilities more freely than most, their disadvantage is that frequent ability usage will bring them closer to taking fatal damage.
Health costs ignore invulnerability as well as effects that prevent falling below a certain health value.

Innate - Goo: Zac's abilities have a  health cost. Whenever Zac's abilities damage an enemy, he sheds a number of chunks on the ground that remain for a few seconds. Zac and enemy champions can collect the chunks; an enemy will destroy it, while Zac will heal a portion of his maximum health.

Innate: Periodically when Zac would die, he instead enters resurrection for a period, splitting into four bloblets that can be attacked by enemies. Zac will die once all bloblets are killed.

Shield

A shield adds hitpoints over the unit's  health that absorbs the next instances of damage in place of actual health. This can be improved by various items and effects depending on the type of shielding.

---

Incoming shields can trigger bonus effects from Shield Bash. Outgoing shields can trigger bonus effects from Summon Aery, Ardent Censer, and Staff of Flowing Water. Shield reduction effects, exclusively Serpent's Fang, reduce all incoming and outgoing shields.

League of Legends content

Spell shield

A spell shield refers to one of several effects that have the capacity to negate hostile abilities from applying to the recipient. A spell shield may negate many active effects coming from champion abilities, epic monsters, champion summoned units, and items, but almost none from runes and summoner spells with the only exceptions of Arcane Comet, Unleashed Smite, and Primal Smite which will be blocked.

Channel

A channeled ability is an ability that can be prevented from reaching its conclusion, by the user themself and / or because of other effects.

A charged ability has a channel that is toggled by two activations - the first begins the charging and the second will fire the ability. While using Quick cast, the player must keep the hotkey held down to charge the ability and release to fire. Unlike normal channels, the caster is still able to move freely and cast movement abilities, unless otherwise stated.

A movement channel is a type of channel which also involves the caster moving from their position, usually in the form of traversal such as dashes and blinks. This means the crowd control effects ground and root, which both inhibit the activation of movement spells, can interrupt the channel.

---

The following crowd control effects will interrupt all channels (except unstoppable ones):

• Airborne
• Forced action ( Charm, Flee, Taunt)
• Silence ( Disrupt, Polymorph)
• Sleep
• Stasis
• Stun ( Suspension)
• Suppression

Skaarl, the Cowardly Lizard

Innate: Kled rides his semi-trusty steed, Skaarl, whom takes damage for him while he is Mounted. When Skaarl's health depletes, Kled dismounts, cleansing from all crowd control.

Kled remains Dismounted until he returns to the summoning platform, but can restore Skaarl's Courage by fighting enemies. At maximum Courage, Kled becomes Mounted with a portion of ' Skaarl's health.

Dismounted: Kled gains  bonus movement speed while moving toward enemy champions, but his basic attacks deal less damage to champions. Bear Trap on a Rope is replaced with Pocket Pistol, and Kled cannot cast his other abilities.

Clone

A clone or decoy is a specific type of pet that attempts to imitate a champion, copying their current vitality, stats, items, level, and most status effects upon creation. They are considered champions against many effects that do not strictly require player champions, else they are considered minions either small or large among certain cases.

---

The damage they deal is attributed to them alone, but they transfer last hit and kill credit. Killing a clone awards 25 and  44.

League of Legends content

Zombie state

A buff that allows a player to keep controlling their champion after Death always flags the champion to be in a zombie state. It prevents enemies from gaining full kill credit or triggering most on-kill effects from the champion a second time, and some abilities (e.g. You and Me!) interact differently with champions in this state. Renata Glasc's Bailout and Resurrection will always take precedence over zombie state effects.

---

The following effects trigger a champion to enter a zombie state:

• Karthus' Death Defied
• Kog'Maw's Icathian Surprise
• Sion's Glory in Death

A unit that is protected by Resurrection will enter a revival state and dispel most debuffs upon taking fatal damage. After the state completes, the unit is revived. Resurrection effects do not count for kills or assists.

---

Resurrection sources have a hierarchy, and will trigger in the following order:

1. Zilean's Chronoshift
2. Guardian Angel
3. Anivia's Rebirth and Zac's Cell Division
4. False Life

Resurrection will always take precedence over zombie state effects. Entering resurrection does not cancel cast times. Renata Glasc's Bailout always takes priority over resurrection.
