EMBERKNIFE Challenging Smite: The primary smite option due to the reduction in damage and additional true damage, making skirmishes favorable for Viego. It helps greatly in specific matchups where your team has sufficient crowd control or enemy composition lacks hyper kiting champions. Matchups that come to mind are Master Yi, Olaf, Trundle, Rengar, etc.

KRAKEN SLAYER
This mythic option tends to be very glass cannon with a similar play to Master Yi. Every third auto attack deals bonus true damage on-hit and granting a critical strike build path. I like to pair this item with The Collector third item if I am snowballing against all squishy champions with minimum crowd control. Otherwise, I build Sterak's Gage for a more bruiser feel. The mythic passive is exactly like Trinity Force giving attack speed per legendary item.

|
GOREDRINKER
This mythic option provides sustain with bruiser like qualities in teamfights especially when paired with Blade of the Ruined King and Sterak's Gage. If the enemy team has plenty of crowd control, I may lean towards this option. The mythic passive provides abilities haste per legendary. This allows Viego to use his Q, Blade of the Ruined King, more often.

|
TRINITY FORCE
This situational Sheen mythic is great for an on-hit build in combination with Blade of the Ruined King. I will usually lean on this for a more squishy composition that I am not snowballing. The mythic passive grants additional ability haste, attack damage and movement speed per legendary which helps him scale into the mid to late game.

|
IMMORTAL SHIELDBOW
This mythic of choice is similar to Goredrinker, providing more of a bruiser like feel but also doing plenty of damage with sustain due to the unique passive, Lifeline. This unique passive is the same as Sterak's Gage and Maw of Malmortius. I generally like pairing this mythic with Blade of the Ruined King first or second item and either Bloodthirster or The Collector third. It gives a Yone playstyle feel with a critical strike build path. Another good option in large crowd control enemy compositions.

|
BLADE OF THE RUINED KING
This is a core item in almost in every build path. It is a legendary item with the stats of a mythic. Everything about this item compliments Viego. It provides damage, lifesteal, and steals movement speed from your enemy. Most games I will try and build this first item.
|
|
|
|
|
STERAK'S GAGE
This legendary item is perfect for Viego. The unique passive, Lifeline, allows for a tankiness without having to build resistances. It keeps him alive through heavy burst damage and lockdown. I will usually always build this item unless I go with Immortal Shieldbow mythic.
|
|
|
|
|
THE COLLECTOR
This legendary item is excellent to continue a snowballing game against a heavy squishy team composition. I will usually build this item in association with a critical strike mythic such as Kraken Slayer. In combination, with Viego's R, Heartbreaker, this legendary allows for easy executes and resets.
|
|
|
|
|
DEATH'S DANCE
A great situational item on its own or paired with Sterak's Gage. It provides armor and is very useful against burst attack damage. I tend to buy this as a 4th to 5th item depending on the situation. This gives Viego a good amount of survivability and damage.
|
|
|
|
|
INFINITY EDGE
A great third item in combination with two other critical strike items. Once 60% critical chance is obtained, Viego gains bonus critical strike. I usually will use this legendary item along side The Collector and Kraken Slayer. This core is situational for a glass cannon assassin build.
|
|
|
|
|
GUARDIAN ANGEL
This is a very nice item to round out a build. Great against assassins or if you find yourself dying a lot in teamfights. I have turned many fights around with Guardian Angel. If you die while possessing another champion, Guardian Angel will not work. Use Heartbreaker again prior to death to active the item as Viego.
|
|
|
|
|
BLOODTHIRSTER
This legendary item is a situational third item for additional sustain and critical strike. I tend to build this in along side Immortal Shieldbow since the mythic already provides survivability through the unique passive, Lifeline. Combine with Overheal, Viego can have a large shield prior in to or in teamfights.
|
|
|
|
|
WIT'S END
This is a situational item that provides magic resistance, attack speed, and on-hit damage. It can be paired with Kraken Slayer for an on-hit build path. This item has the old phage passive granting movement speed for additional stickiness or disengage. In some situations, I will skip The Collector and build this third for earlier magic resistance.
|
|
|
|
|
SPIRIT VISAGE
This situational item works very well in a heavy lifesteal build against a larger magic damage team composition. It synergizes well with Bloodthirster and Overheal allowing for large heals and shields.
|
|
|
|
|
CHEMPUNK CHAINSWORD
Grievous wound option for a bruiser playstyle. This item is a must in some games due to the amount of life steal. I will sometimes rush Executioner's Calling and finish the item later since it only cost 800 gold. A very cost efficient purchase. The bruiser stats from Chempunk Chainsword compliments Viego's playstyle.
|
|
|
|
|
MERCURY'S TREADS
If I am even or behind I will lean on this boot option. Viego does not do well against crowd control so the tenacity and defensive stats can be very helpful in teamfights.
|
|
|
|
|
PLATED STEELCAPS
If I am even or behind against a larger attack damage composition with little to no crowd control I will lean on this boot option. If I am even or ahead I can choose between Plated Steelcaps or Berserker's Greaves. At this point in time, this is likely more personal preference. Attack speed scales very well with Viego.
|
|
|
|
|
BERSERKER'S GREAVES
Boot of choice if enemy composition has little to no crowd control and I am either ahead or even. This option scales the best with Viego. Whether one chooses Plated Steelcaps or Berserker's Greaves when even is personal preference.
|
|
|
|
|
ELIXIR OF WRATH
Elixir of choice for Viego. It provides everything he needs to do more damage and sustain during critical teamfights in mid to endgame.
|
|
|
|
|
ELIXIR OF IRON
Elixir of choice in a bruiser type build/playstyle. It gives Viego more health and tenacity to survive in teamfights and keep recasting his ultimate, Heartbreaker. The passive allows for better follow up from teammates behind you as you ultimate forward.
