Viego Jungle guide

Viego jungle's power spike is a kill. Spectral Maw (W) stuns the first target hit after a charge-up dash, Blade of the Ruined King (Q) follows up with bonus current-health damage that strikes twice against anyone recently hit by an ability, and once that target falls, Sovereign's Domination (passive) lets him possess the corpse, healing off its max health and gaining a free cast of Heartbreaker (R) in place of his own ultimate.

The build

Rune page: Conqueror, Triumph, Legend: Alacrity, and Coup de Grace (Precision), with Magical Footwear and Cosmic Insight (Inspiration). Summoners: Flash and Smite. Skill order opens Blade of the Ruined King (Q), Spectral Maw (W), then Harrowed Path (E), maxing Q first and E second. Starter: Gustwalker Hatchling and a Health Potion, into Plated Steelcaps. Core build: Kraken Slayer, The Collector, and Immortal Shieldbow, with Lord Dominik's Regards, Infinity Edge, and Mortal Reminder as later options.

Ability mechanics

Spectral Maw (W) charges before dashing forward and releasing a ball of concentrated Black Mist that stuns the first enemy hit. Blade of the Ruined King (Q) deals bonus current-health damage On-Hit and strikes twice against enemies Viego recently hit with an ability, on top of an activation that thrusts his zweihander forward to impale. Harrowed Path (E) lets Viego hide as a camouflaged wraith with bonus Move Speed and Attack Speed around a haunted piece of terrain.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Naafiri, Lee Sin, Nocturne, Kayn, Jarvan IV. Best matchups: Sylas, Master Yi, Graves.
