Who Wins
- Pre-6: Vel'Koz wins trades due to superior range and poke damage, but you can threaten all-ins if you land Q.
- Post-6: You gain kill pressure with R flash combos, but Vel'Koz still has range advantage and can interrupt your R with his E.
How to Trade
- Look for Q max range catches when Vel'Koz steps up to farm or poke, then W the wave and walk away.
- Avoid extended trades unless you have a clear all-in opportunity with flash available.
Wave Control
- Push waves with W to match Vel'Koz's waveclear and prevent him from freely poking you under tower.
- Maintain minion advantage to make your Q threats more credible and limit his mobility.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use E reactively against his Q poke - save it for his E knockup or jungle ganks.
- Walking into his range without minions or flash available makes you extremely vulnerable to his full combo.
