Who Wins
- You win early trades levels 1-3 with Q-W combos while using E shield to mitigate Vel'Koz's Q poke damage.
- At level 6, you lose the all-in if Vel'Koz lands his full combo, but you can interrupt his ultimate channel with your R displacement.
How to Trade
- You should trade with Q-W when Vel'Koz uses abilities on minions, then shield his return poke with E.
- Position your ball aggressively to zone him from CS and force him to use mana inefficiently.
Wave Control
- You want to push waves quickly with Q-W to create roam timers and prevent Vel'Koz from scaling safely.
- Keep the wave in the center or slightly pushed to maintain ball positioning options for trades.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You cannot let Vel'Koz get free poke when your abilities are on cooldown, as he will slowly whittle you down.
- Never waste your ultimate for waveclear when Vel'Koz has his full combo available, as you need it to interrupt his channeled R.
