Abilities

Riot's own text for each slot, in the order the champion learns them.

PASSIVE ORGANIC DECONSTRUCTION

Vel'Koz's abilities apply Organic Deconstruction to enemies on hit. If 3 stacks are accumulated, the enemy will take a burst of true damage.

1 PLASMA FISSION

Vel'Koz shoots a bolt of plasma that splits in two on reactivation or upon hitting an enemy. The bolt slows and damages on hit.

2 VOID RIFT

Vel'Koz opens a rift to the void that deals an initial burst of damage, then explodes for a second burst of damage after a delay.

3 TECTONIC DISRUPTION

Vel'Koz causes an explosive anomaly at target location, knocking up enemies and knocking close enemies slightly away. The closer the anomaly is to Vel’Koz the stronger the knockback effect.

ULTIMATE LIFE FORM DISINTEGRATION RAY

Passive: Apply 3 Deconstruction stacks to an enemy champion marking them as Researched for 7 seconds. Active: Vel'Koz unleashes a channelled beam that he can steer in a target direction to deal magic damage and slow enemies hit. Researched enemy champions take true damage instead.
