Who Wins
- Pre-6: Varus + Vel'Koz win through superior range and poke damage that outpaces your W healing.
- Post-6: The matchup becomes more even as your R can counter their burst attempts, but they still have better sustained pressure.
Synergy & Trading
- Stay behind minions to avoid Vel'Koz Q, then W your ADC after they take poke damage.
- Use E reactively when Tristana jumps in or preemptively on Vel'Koz to interrupt his combo chains.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Don't roam - your ADC needs constant healing against their poke pressure and you're too vulnerable to Vel'Koz catch potential.
- Focus on keeping Tristana healthy for her all-in windows.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never position where Vel'Koz E can hit you, as it leads to guaranteed follow-up damage from both enemies.
- Respect Varus R range and don't get caught without flash when it's available.
