League of Legends Vex Abilities
Initially, the 14th yordle champion, Vex was to be some sort of artillery mage, however, now Vex has changed marginally since her first teaser.
Riot has transformed Vex into an even more traditional burst mage and this shift was the reason behind the postponement of the League of Legends Vex release date.
League of Legends Vex gets irritated as damnation with hyperactive champions running all around her which is sufficient to make her begin pummeling all lifeforms loaded with aggravating joy running around her like bothersome flies.
LoL Vex Passive Abilities
- Vex Doom - League of Legends' Vex becomes empowered by Doom, making her next basic ability cause fear in opponents and interrupt dashes.
- Vex Goom: This ability of Vex enables him to detonates the mark against a Gloom marked enemy, which refunds a part of Doom’s cooldown and deals bonus damage.
LoL Vex Abilities
- Q - Mistral Bolt
Vex releases a wave forward, causing magic damage to opponents it goes through. After a brief pause, the wave speeds up however has decreased width. Mistral Bolt explodes Gloom on any marked foes it hits.
- W - Personal Space
Vex gains a shield and emanates a shockwave, causing magic damage to opponents around her. Personal Space explodes Gloom on any marked foes it hits.
- E - Looming Darkness
Shadow flies to an area, expanding in size as it moves. On showing up, Shadow explodes slow Gloom on any marked foes it hits.
- R - Shadow Surge
Shadow flies forward, dealing magic damage and marking the very first opponent champion it hits. Vex would then be able to rework this ability to have the Shadow pull her to the marked opponent, dealing further magic damage.
In the event that the marked enemy is been killed within a brief time frame of taking damage from Shadow Surge, Vex can project Shadow Surge again inside a couple of moments.
No concrete detail has been shared by the Gloomy Mage abilities however, in the recent Riot video, players were able to spot League of Legends Vex abilities, and these leaked abilities include:
