Assassin / Skirmisher
Beginner Rule
Don't let Viego get the first reset — one takedown can completely change a fight through Sovereign's Domination (Passive).
Viego is a skirmishing fighter-assassin who excels at cleaning up fights and taking over enemy champions. He wants to secure takedowns so he can activate Sovereign's Domination (Passive) and temporarily possess fallen enemies. Many beginners focus on Viego himself and forget how dangerous he becomes after the first kill.
Level 6 – Heartbreaker adds strong finishing power.
First Item – Duel and skirmish potential increase significantly.

QWhat it does
Passive: percent-current-health on-hit damage. Active: thrusts his zweihander forward impaling enemies.
How to play against
Percent-current-health damage scales with your health. Building health alone doesn't counter him — he deals more the more HP you have.
WWhat it does
Charges and dashes releasing a stun ball at the first enemy hit.
How to play against
Dodge the stun ball — he releases it when he finishes the charge dash. Sidestep just before he completes the charge.
EWhat it does
Haunts terrain with Black Mist. He's camouflaged and gains speed and attack speed inside.
How to play against
He's invisible in his Mist. Don't walk into it.
RWhat it does
Teleports nearby and executes a champion — the shockwave knocks away nearby allies.
How to play against
His execute plus shockwave separates you from teammates. The shockwave knocking your allies away is what enables his kill.

Sovereign's Domination: when he kills an enemy champion he possesses their body temporarily using their abilities, healing, and resetting his base kit. A reset means he can chain across your entire team — disengage after he gets a kill.
