Vel'Koz is a champion in League of Legends.[1]

Abilities[]

Edit

Organic Deconstruction

Organic Deconstruction

Innate: Vel'Koz's abilities apply a stack of Deconstruction to enemies hit for 7 seconds, refreshing on basic attacks and subsequent applications and stacking up to 3 times.

The third stack consumes them all to deal Hybrid penetration icon 35 − 180 (based on level) (+ 60% AP) bonus true damage.

Info
  • No additional notes.

Edit

Plasma Fission

Plasma Fission

Active: Vel'Koz fires a plasma bolt in the target direction that deals magic damage to the first enemy hit and Slow icon slows them by 70% decaying over a duration.

Plasma Fission can be recast after 0.25 seconds while the bolt is in flight, and does so automatically upon hitting an enemy or maximum range.

Magic Damage:
80 / 120 / 160 / 200 / 240 (+ 90% AP)
Slow Duration:
1 / 1.4 / 1.8 / 2.2 / 2.6
Plasma Fission 2

Recast: Vel'Koz splits the bolt in two over 0.25 seconds, each part firing perpendicularly in opposite directions and applying the same effects to enemies hit.

Whenever Plasma Fission kills an enemy, Vel'Koz restores Mana icon mana.

Mana Restored per Kill:
20 / 22.5 / 25 / 27.5 / 30
Maximum Mana Restored:
60 / 67.5 / 75 / 82.5 / 90

Info
  • The initial cast counts as an ability activation for the purposes of on-cast effects such as Sheen item Spellblade and triggering Force Pulse's Force Pulse's passive.
    • Detonating the ability manually does not.
  • An enemy cannot be hit by multiple bolts even when having blocked one with a Spell Shield spell shield.
  • The split occurs at a location 55 units in front of the primary bolt's final location.
  • Plasma Fission can reach a maximum 1595 units diagonally (ignoring the split missile's width and enemy hitbox radius), reaching this distance after a total of about ~1.65 seconds.
  • This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.

Edit

Void Rift

Void Rift

Active: Vel'Koz cracks a rift in the target direction that opens after a 0.25-second delay, cascading through the area over 0.65 seconds to deal magic damage to enemies within.

Magic Damage:
30 / 50 / 70 / 90 / 110 (+ 20% AP)

After 0.75 seconds, the rift violently collapses, dealing magic damage to enemies within and granting Sight icon sight of the surrounding area for 0.25 seconds.

Magic Damage:
45 / 75 / 105 / 135 / 165 (+ 25% AP)
Total Magic Damage:
75 / 125 / 175 / 225 / 275 (+ 45% AP)

Vel'Koz periodically stocks a Void Rift charge, up to a maximum of 2.

Info
  • Unbreakable Unbreakable and Wind Wall Wind Wall will block the ripple and prevent the rift from forming further, but they will not destroy the section that was created already.
  • Spell Shield Spell shield only blocks one instance of damage.

Edit

Tectonic Disruption

Tectonic Disruption

Active: Vel'Koz hurls a disruptive anomaly that lands to the target location after 0.25 − 0.5 (based on cast distance) seconds, dealing magic damage to enemies hit and Airborne icon knocking them up and Stun icon stunning them for 0.75 seconds, as well as granting Sight icon sight of the area briefly.

Magic Damage:
70 / 100 / 130 / 160 / 190 (+ 30% AP)

If Tectonic Disruption is cast in close proximity of Vel'Koz, the anomaly will also slightly Airborne icon knock back enemies hit in the direction of the cast.

Info
  • The required proximity for the Airborne icon knock back is relative to Vel'Koz's position when casting and not his current one.
  • While the effect is fully prevented by blocking the missile (e.g. with Unbreakable Unbreakable and Wind Wall Wind Wall), the missile may not be destroyed visually.(bug)
  • The area of effect indicator appears at the end of the cast time.
    • It will persist even if the cast cancels (e.g. Vel'Koz dies before cast time completes) despite the projectile not firing.
  • Unstoppable icon Displacement immunity will also resist the application of the Stun icon stun.

Edit

Life Form Disintegration Ray

Researched

Passive - Researched: Applying 3 Deconstruction Deconstruction stacks to an enemy Champion icon champion marks them as Researched for 7 seconds, refreshing on basic attacks and ability hits against them.

Lifeform Disintegration Ray

Active: After a 0.2-second delay, Vel'Koz Channeling icon channels for up to 2.6 seconds to project an energy beam, during which he can steer the beam in the target direction. Life Form Disintegration Ray can be recast after 1 second during the channel, and does so automatically after the duration.

The beam deals magic damage to enemies hit every 0.2 seconds, and Slow icon slows them by 20%, lingering for 1 second. Deconstruction Deconstruction is applied every 0.7 seconds to enemies hit. Researched Researched enemies take true damage instead.

Damage Per Tick:
34.62 / 48.08 / 61.54 (+ 9.62% AP)
Maximum Damage:
450 / 625 / 800 (+ 125% AP)

Recast: Vel'Koz ends Life Form Disintegration Ray.

Info
  • Life Form Disintegration Ray's direction updates gradually (moving the cursor from one side of Vel'Koz to the other will not make him rotate instantly).
  • Vel'Koz will Sight icon reveal himself if the ray is near an enemy champion.
  • The beam hits in a rectangular shape, intersecting with the edge of an enemy Gameplay radius gameplay radius.
    • Because of this, the effect will hit enemies whose center location is to the sides and/or slightly behind Vel'Koz, as long as their radius intersects with the area.

    It is unclear if Vel’Koz was the first Voidborn to emerge on Runeterra, but there has certainly never been another to match his level of cruel, calculating sentience. While his kin devour or defile everything around them, he seeks instead to scrutinize and study the physical realm—and the strange, warlike beings that dwell there—for any weakness the Void might exploit. But Vel’Koz is far from a passive observer, striking back at threats with deadly plasma, or by disrupting the very fabric of the world itself.
