Guides Builds Counters Skins Abilities Q&A To Top

Organic Deconstruction Vel'Koz's Passive

Self

Vel'Koz's abilities Deconstruct those they strike for 7 seconds, stacking up to three times. 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.

40 / 45 / 50 / 55 / 60

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.

Vel'Koz sends out a straight line blast that tears open a temporary rift to the Void and deals 30 / 50 / 70 / 90 / 110 (+15% of ability power) magic damage to enemies hit. After a 0.25 second delay, the rift explodes, dealing 45 / 75 / 105 / 135 / 165 (+25% of ability power) magic damage to enemies standing upon it.

Vel'Koz stores a charge of Void Rift every 19 / 18 / 17 / 16 / 15 seconds and can store up to 2 charges. The recharge time is affected by cooldown reduction.
