Vex Mid guide

Vex mid is a control mage built around Doom 'n Gloom (passive), Mistral Bolt (Q), and Shadow Surge (R): the passive periodically empowers her next basic ability to fear enemies and interrupt dashes, Mistral Bolt is a missile that accelerates mid-flight, and Shadow Surge marks a champion before recasting to dash to them and deal damage.

The build

Rune page: Electrocute, Taste of Blood, Grisly Mementos, and Ultimate Hunter (Domination), with Transcendence and Manaflow Band (Sorcery). Summoners: Flash and Ignite. Skill order opens Looming Darkness (E) at level 1, then maxes Mistral Bolt (Q) first with Personal Space (W) second. Starter: Doran's Ring and two Health Potions, into Sorcerer's Shoes. Core build: Luden's Echo, Shadowflame, Zhonya's Hourglass, with Stormsurge, Rabadon's Deathcap, and Dark Seal as later options.

Ability mechanics

Doom 'n Gloom (passive) marks any nearby enemy who dashes, and consuming that mark deals bonus damage while reducing the cooldown of her empowered state. Personal Space (W) grants her a shield and damages nearby enemies. Looming Darkness (E) summons a damaging, slowing zone that applies Gloom to enemies caught inside it.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Syndra, Ahri, Katarina, Locke, Yasuo. Best matchups: Akali, LeBlanc, Sylas.
