Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 through Q poke and superior minion clear, but Vel'Koz has longer range making trades risky if you overextend.
- At level 6, you have the advantage with R burst potential, but only if you can land E stun first since his R outranges yours significantly.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is Q-W combo when he steps up for CS, then immediately back off to avoid his Q-W return trade.
- Extended trades favor him due to his passive proc damage, so keep exchanges short and use your superior mobility to dictate engagement timing.
Wave Control
- Push early levels with Q to establish priority, then look for roam timings or back timings when the wave bounces.
- Avoid slow pushing into him as his waveclear becomes oppressive mid-game, and he can easily poke you under tower with his range advantage.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never walk in straight lines or stand near low-health minions, as his Q geometry and W ground zones will chunk you heavily.
- Don't commit to all-ins without flash or jungle assistance, since his E knockback and R channel can turn fights even when you land E stun.
