Gameplay Style

Vex is primarily played as a burst/mage, leveraging their ranged combat style to dominate in the midlane. Since their release in Patch 11.19, players have come up with a bunch of different strategies and builds to maximize Vex's potential.

As a magical-focused champion who uses Mana to cast their abilities, Vex requires players to carefully manage their resources while positioning effectively to deal maximum damage. The champion's design makes them particularly effective against grouped enemies with AoE abilities and burst damage.

Vex's Story

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.
