VEX

The Gloomist

MidDWR49.4%

In the black heart of the Shadow Isles, a lone yordle trudges through the spectral fog, content in its murky misery. With an endless supply of teen angst and a powerful shadow in tow, Vex lives in her own self-made slice of gloom, far from the revolting cheer of the “normie” world. Though she lacks ambition, she is quick to strike down color and happiness, stopping all would-be interlopers with her magical malaise.

Skills

DOOM 'N GLOOMPassive

Every 22 (based on level) seconds, Vex becomes afflicted with Doom, causing her next attack to interrupt dashes and Fear enemies for 0.75 seconds. Whenever a nearby enemy dashes or blinks, Vex marks them with Gloom for 6 seconds. Vex's next attack against a Gloomed enemy deals an additional 26 (based on level) (+25% AP) magic damage and reduces this ability's cooldown by 25%. Non-champion targets take 40% (based on level) damage and refund 10% of this ability's cooldown.

MISTRAL BOLTSkill 1

Vex launches a wave of mist that deals 60 (+65% AP) magic damage. After a delay, the wave becomes smaller and faster. Consumes Gloom on enemies hit.

The combos in the tables below, grouped by shape; not a ranking or a verdict. Each item goes to the family its stats are worth the most gold in, and a shape is how many of the 3 core items fall in each family. Effects (passives) are not counted, and items without stats are left out. Runes are grouped by keystone and the most common tree among the rest. The icons show the most common combo of each shape. A shape at 10% or more counts as a pattern; shapes under 3% get no card. Less common item families are families whose items appear in under 10% of the Chinese combos but do show up in overseas guides or streamer and pro builds. Their icons are separate item options seen in those sources, not one build. Families are listed by how many sources they appear in.

Assumptions

One fight per 90s

A 15-minute match is assumed to have 10 fights. Shields and damage blocks that work once per fight are counted as extra health in every fight.

Fight length: 10 s

Crowd control that stops the enemy (stun, charm, etc.) is treated as time you aren't being hit. A fight is assumed to last 10 s, so it counts as holding seconds ÷ 10 × median max health in extra health each fight. Uses are capped like shields: the fewer of cooldown uses and fights.

Champion median

Values that depend on the champion, such as health, use the median of all champions at level 1 and level 15.

Combat only: 50%

Effects that only work in combat or under a condition are counted as active half the time. The same rule applies to every rune and spell.

At most once per 8s

Effects that re-trigger on attacks are counted at most once every 8 seconds, since a single fight only allows so many procs.

Damage valued like healing

Damage to an enemy is valued like healing yourself the same amount, priced with the health regen rate.

Skill ranks from level

A champion's ability values depend on rank, so rank is derived from level. The ultimate ranks up at levels 5 / 9 / 13. Remaining points go to abilities 1 → 2 → 3 in turn (1 / 0 / 0 at level 1, 4 / 4 / 4 at level 15). Which ability to max first is a judgement call, so every champion uses the same order. Abilities with a different number of ranks (such as Jayce's 5) follow the same rule, raising the lowest-ranked ability one point at a time; an ability learned from level 1 starts at rank 1.

Survival factor

Moving faster by some % is counted as that % more effective health, since speed lets you dodge and escape. Value = median max health × the speed gain × the health price.

Move speed % as flat

Move speed % is converted to flat move speed against the median base speed of 350, then priced at the flat rate.
