After being hit three times by his abilities, minions, monsters and enemy champions are Deconstructed and suffer 25 + (8 × level) (+50% of ability power) true damage. Enemies lose their Deconstruction stacks by avoiding Vel'Koz's attacks for a short while.

Vel'Koz fires a plasma bolt that deals 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 / 240 (+80% of ability power) magic damage to the first enemy struck and slows him by 70% for 1 / 1.4 / 1.8 / 2.2 / 2.6 seconds. Once Plasma Fission hits, reaches its maximum range or is reactivated a second time, the bolt splits at a 90 degree angle. The split bolts deal the same damage and apply the same slow.
