Overview

Use (W) engage with ADC follow-up to punish Vel'Koz's immobility and lack of hard peel.

Trading pattern

Engage with (W) when ADC is ready to follow up on knockup, then use (E) to peel or reposition.
Hold (E) shield to protect ADC from Vel'Koz's poke and interrupt his (R) channel.
Avoid using (W) from obvious range to prevent Vel'Koz from punishing missed engage cooldowns.

Danger windows

Deny Vel'Koz brush control to limit his poke angles and force him to use (E) defensively.
Crash wave after level 3 to open roam windows, ensuring ADC safety before leaving.

Power spikes

Level 2: (W)+(E) combo enables aggressive engage and strong ADC follow-up trades.
Level 3: Full kit with (Q) heal and poke enhances lane pressure and sustain.
Level 6: (R) charm allows multi-target engage or peel, turning fights with ADC follow-up and river setup.

Win conditions

Use (W) engage with ADC follow-up to deny Vel'Koz ADC access and force recalls.
Control brush and river vision to secure dragon and prevent Vel'Koz roams.
Roam after crashing wave to pressure mid, then return before ADC becomes vulnerable.
