Abilities

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

PASSIVE DOOM 'N GLOOM

Vex periodically becomes empowered, causing her next basic Ability to fear enemies and interrupt dashes. Whenever a nearby enemy dashes, Vex applies a mark that can be consumed for bonus damage that also reduces the cooldown of her empowered state.

1 MISTRAL BOLT

Launch a damaging missile that accelerates mid-flight.

2 PERSONAL SPACE

Gain a shield and damage nearby enemies.

3 LOOMING DARKNESS

Summon a damaging and slowing zone that applies Gloom to enemies.

ULTIMATE SHADOW SURGE

Fire a missile that marks an enemy champion. Recast to dash to them and deal damage.
