Velkoz Support guide

Vel'Koz support is a poke mage built around Plasma Fission (Q), Void Rift (W), and Tectonic Disruption (E): land Plasma Fission to split it into two bolts and slow the target, follow with Void Rift for a second delayed burst, then use Tectonic Disruption to knock up the target while Organic Deconstruction (passive) stacks toward a true damage burst.

The build

Rune page: Arcane Comet, Manaflow Band, Transcendence, and Scorch (Sorcery), with Ultimate Hunter and Cheap Shot (Domination). Summoners: Flash and Heal. Skill order maxes Plasma Fission (Q) first, taking Void Rift (W) second and Tectonic Disruption (E) last. Starter: two Health Potions, into Sorcerer's Shoes. Core build: Luden's Echo, Shadowflame, Zhonya's Hourglass, with Zaz'Zak's Realmspike, Horizon Focus, and Blackfire Torch as later options.

Ability mechanics

Plasma Fission (Q) shoots a bolt of plasma that splits in two on reactivation or upon hitting an enemy, slowing and damaging on hit. Void Rift (W) opens a rift that deals an initial burst of damage, then explodes for a second burst after a delay. Tectonic Disruption (E) causes an area to explode, knocking up enemies and knocking close enemies slightly away. Organic Deconstruction (passive) stacks on every ability hit, and the third stack bursts as true damage; Life Form Disintegration Ray (R) is a 2.5-second channeled beam that follows the cursor and deals true damage instead of magic damage to champions it has Researched.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Nautilus, Thresh, Karma, Nami, Seraphine. Best matchups: Lux, Senna, Lulu.
