Viego Power Spikes (Patch 26.20)
TopWhen Viego Top gets stronger, in the order it happens in a typical ranked game: ability unlocks from the most common skill order, item spikes at the median minute players finish them, and the game length Viego wins most.
- Lv 3All three basic abilities at level 3Viego's full combo is online — the first point where trading all-in is realistic.
- Lv 6Ultimate rank 1 at level 6The biggest early spike: look for a kill or a roam as soon as Viego hits it.
- Lv 11Ultimate rank 2 at level 11Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Viego can start or win.
- Lv 16Ultimate rank 3 at level 16Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Viego can start or win.
Item timings are medians: half of players finish later. Fall behind in farm and every item spike moves back with it.
