The build totals +220 Attack Damage and +100% Critical Rate, and Infinity Edge's Infinity makes those crits deal 205% damage instead of 175%. Mortal Reminder's Last Whisper adds 30% AR Pen, plus another 6% on attacks that critically strike. Its Sepsis passive applies 50% Grievous Wounds for 3 seconds whenever you deal physical damage to enemy champions, so healers cannot simply top the front line back up. Guardian Angel then covers one death, restoring 50% base HP on a 180-second cooldown.

Viego Strengths

✓A one-of-a-kind passive that borrows enemy abilities
✓Untargetability and big healing on takedowns
✓Snowball potential from back-to-back Ult resets

Viego Weaknesses

×Requires knowledge of every champion's kit
×The real body is squishy and melts to burst
×Struggles without that first takedown

Early Game

Your passive needs kill participation, but your early duels are not strong. Start with a safe full clear. Take only ganks that will clearly land, and build gold steadily.

Mid Game

The mid game, full of skirmishes, is where Viego shines. Pick up a kill or assist and possess the enemy's soul to heal and reset Ult. Chain kills to win the fight.

Late Game

With a full build you have both assassin burst and fighter DPS. If focused, though, you still melt quickly. Play like an assassin and clean up the enemies your team has already chunked.

Teamfights

Rather than diving first, play like an assassin and wait for your team's engage to lower enemy HP. Once you get that first kill, the momentum shifts. Use the untargetability from the passive to take enemies down one after another.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

Possessing every soul on sight with the passive (Sovereign's Domination)

A takedown does not mean you should possess the soul without thinking. Possession makes you untargetable for a moment. But taking over a low-damage support or mage strips away Viego's own damage and stalls you in the teamfight. If your HP is fine, stay in your own body and keep attacking. Another option is to possess only to cast Ult and leave right away.

Viego Combos

Basic Trade

Open with the stun from Skill 2, then alternate skills and empowered autos.

Viego Patch History

ViegoPatch 7.1f

Nerf

Blade of the Ruined King Damage based on Target Current HP: 3%/4%/5%/6% → 2%/3%/4%/5% Heartbreaker Damage Radius: 3 → 2.75 The passive's current-HP scaling loses 1% at every rank, so Viego grinds down high-HP targets more slowly. Because he chases with weaved basic attacks, that 1% adds up the longer a fight runs. Heartbreaker's radius shrinks from 3 to 2.75, demanding a more precise commit to catch a group. Hitting several enemies at once in a teamfight is simply harder now.

ViegoPatch 6.3d

Nerf

Blade of the Ruined King Thrust base damage: reduced Heartbreaker Area damage: reduced Both the opening and the finisher come down. The weaker thrust on Blade of the Ruined King slows his jungle clear and takes a chunk out of his first hit, while the smaller area damage on Heartbreaker reduces what he gets out of diving into a group. Staying in the fight after a takedown still works; getting that first takedown is the harder part now.
