Key Insights

  • Enemies who dash or blink near Vex are marked with Gloom, causing Vex's next auto or basic ability to consume the mark to deal bonus damage and refund 25% of
    Doom 'n GloomP
    's cooldown.
  • If
    Shadow SurgeR
    's target dies within 6 seconds of being marked by it, Vex can cast
    Shadow SurgeR
    again for free for the next 12 seconds.
  • Looming DarknessE
    increases in size the farther it travels.
  • Shadow SurgeR
    grants vision of where it travels and grants true sight of its target.
  • Triggering
    Doom 'n GloomP
    knocks down the affected enemy.

Strengths

  • Can constantly lower
    Doom 'n GloomP
    's cooldown by consuming marks on dashing and blinking enemies as well as landing
    Looming DarknessE
    .
  • Excels at bursting enemies, interrupting engages, and has the potential to "pop off" in teamfights with
    Shadow SurgeR
    's reset mechanic.
  • Excels with items that enhance her ability power, burst damage, and magic penetration.
  • Has strong poking potential and can protect herself when enemies reach her with
    Doom 'n GloomP
    /
    Personal SpaceW
    .

Weaknesses

  • All of Vex's skillshots are slow and telegraphed.
  • Is naturally weaker when
    Doom 'n GloomP
    is on cooldown.
  • Once she enters a fight by recasting
    Shadow SurgeR
    , there's no way out.
