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.
