Ability details

  • Sovereign's Domination

    Enemies who fall before Viego become wraiths. By attacking a wraith, Viego temporarily seizes control of the dead enemy's body, healing for a percentage of his target's max health and gaining access to their basic abilities and items. He replaces their Ultimate with a free cast of his own.

    Passive — never cast

  • Blade of the Ruined King

    Viego's spectral blade passively deals bonus percent current Health damage On-Hit and strikes twice vs. enemies he recently hit with an Ability, stealing Health.Viego can activate this Ability to thrust his zweihander forward, impaling enemies in front of him.

    Cooldown 5/4.5/4/3.5/3sRange 600

  • Spectral Maw

    Viego charges up before dashing forward, releasing a ball of concentrated Black Mist that stuns the first enemy hit.

    Cooldown 8sRange 400

  • Harrowed Path

    Viego commands the Black Mist to haunt and surround a piece of terrain. Viego can hide in the Mist as a wraith, gaining camouflage, Move Speed, and Attack Speed.

    Cooldown 14/12/10/8/6sRange 750

  • Heartbreaker

    Viego teleports to a nearby location and executes an enemy champion on arrival, piercing their heart and causing a destructive shockwave around them that knocks away their allies.

    Cooldown 120/100/80sRange 500

Counter plan — how to beat Viego

  • Avoid extended fights — its sustain grows with every trade it survives

  • Deny the reset — it wants a kill to come back out; a warded exit removes it

  • Punish the cooldown — Viego is exposed while its rotation is down

  • Ward the flank — vision is what turns its best opening into a worse one

  • Respect the spike — Riot rates the kit 5/10, so a practised player gets more out of it than the average

Methodology

Data window
512,340 games on patch 26.16, Ranked Solo/Duo, NA. Last refreshed 20 Aug 2026.
Rank aggregation
Emerald+ and above, pooled. Splitting further leaves samples too small to separate a real effect from noise.
Role assignment
A champion is filed under the lanes it actually plays, not the one class it belongs to — which is why several appear in two.
Counters
A matchup, not a tier gap: how this champion does into that one specifically, over that pairing’s own games.
Minimum sample
The confidence indicator beside every rate is driven by how much of the window this champion appears in. A low reading means read the figure loosely, not that it is wrong.
Why a build is not a cause
The best-scoring build is the one the best-placed players happened to take. Correlation is what a rate can show; it is not evidence that buying those items caused the wins.
Where the numbers come from
Names, classes, lanes, abilities, items and runes are Riot Data Dragon. Win, pick and ban rates are derived samples — Riot publishes none of them, and nothing on this page presents one as measured.
