Imperial Mandate marks for allies to detonate

  • Spectral Sickle
  • Imperial Mandate
  • Horizon Focus
  • Cryptbloom
  • Banshee's Veil
  • Spellslinger's Shoes

When you fight beside allies long enough for them to detonate the mark

The only difference from build 2 is Imperial Mandate. Its Coordinated Fire adds 47-75 magic damage when an ability that slows or immobilizes lands on an enemy champion, marking them for 4s (6s cooldown per enemy champion). Ally damage detonates that mark for another 94-150 magic damage based on the ally's level and gives you both 20% Movement Speed for 2s. It also brings +200 Max Health, in a build totaling +345 Ability Power and +65 Ability Haste.

Blackfire Torch burn that stacks AP per target

  • Spectral Sickle
  • Blackfire Torch
  • Horizon Focus
  • Cryptbloom
  • Banshee's Veil
  • Spellslinger's Shoes

When enemies group up and you can set several of them burning at once

The only difference from build 1 is Blackfire Torch. Baleful Blaze burns anything you damage with an ability for 20 + 2% AP magic damage per second over 3 seconds, and 40 + 2% AP per second on monsters. Blackfire then grants 4% AP for every enemy champion or monster your burn is on, so the more targets you catch, the harder the rest of the build hits. It also carries +500 Max Mana, in a build totaling +375 Ability Power and +65 Ability Haste.

Vel'Koz Strengths

  • True damage from the passive
  • Poke from unexpected angles with Skill 1's split
  • Long-range AoE laser damage from Ult

Vel'Koz Weaknesses

  • ×No escape tools; vulnerable to ganks
  • ×Every skill is a skillshot and takes practice
  • ×Cannot move while channeling Ult

Early Game

Use Skill 1's split to poke from diagonal angles through the minions. Build passive true-damage stacks steadily. You have no mobility, so overpushing makes you a gank target. Watch your vision and positioning.

Mid Game

In skirmishes, stay back and keep casting from a safe position. Once the passive true damage triggers, even tanks melt. To land your combo reliably, hit the slow first and then go for the knock-up.

Late Game

By now you are long-range artillery that punishes from the fog of war. One positioning mistake, though, and an assassin kills you instantly. Stay behind your support or frontline at all times and never end up alone.

Teamfights

Teamfights hinge on your Ult. Fire the laser the moment enemies line up or your team lands hard CC, and sweep it across them. Aim at targets already carrying passive stacks, and the true damage makes kills likely.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

Channeling Ult (Life Form Disintegration Ray) with enemies in your face

Vel'Koz's Ult deals heavy damage, but you cannot move at all while channeling. Any hard CC such as a stun or knock-up cancels it. Channeling within dash range of an enemy assassin or fighter is very dangerous. In teamfights, keep your distance with Skill 1 and Skill 3. Confirm the enemy's threatening CC is down, then fire the beam from a safe spot.

Vel'Koz Combos

Full Combo

Slow with Skill 1, stack with the knock-up from Skill 3 and with Skill 2, then melt them with Ult.
