Vex is a burst assassin who excels at punishing mobile champions and dealing high damage in short bursts using dark magic. Her kit combines strong waveclear with anti-mobility mechanics, making her especially effective against dash-heavy opponents.

Passive - Doom and Gloom Vex's passive has two components:

• Doom: A charging bar that, when full, allows her next ability to fear enemies
• Gloom: Marks enemies hit by her E or when they dash, causing bonus damage on her next auto attack

Abilities Priority

1. Q - Mistral Shot (Max First)
2. W - Personal Space (Max Second)
3. E - Looming Darkness (Max Third)
4. R - Shadow Surge (Level at 6, 11, 16)

Start E at level 1 for better early trades and lane control.

Core Build Path Starting Item:

• Corrupting Potion (for aggressive early trading)

Core Items:

1. Luden's Tempest (First Item)
2. Sorcerer's Shoes
3. Shadowflame
4. Rabadon's Deathcap

Situational Items:

• Zhonya's Hourglass (for survivability after diving)
• Void Staff (against magic resist stacking)

Key Playstyle Tips

• Use E for early trades and wave control
• Save charged passive for key moments to interrupt dashes
• Look for roaming opportunities with ultimate
• In teamfights, use R to pick off priority targets, then Zhonya's to stay safe

The Ultimate (Shadow Surge) can reset if the target dies quickly after being hit, allowing for multiple assassinations in teamfights.

Remember to always position carefully as Vex's effectiveness relies heavily on proper spacing and timing of abilities.
