Zilean vs Vel'Koz

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 9, 2026

Overview

Control brush to deny Vel'Koz's poke angles and protect your ADC's positioning.
Use (Q) bomb zones and (E) speed to enable ADC trades and kite enemy poke.
Prioritize river vision to track Vel'Koz's roam windows and secure dragon setup.

Trading pattern

Use double (Q) bombs through minions to punish Vel'Koz's immobile poke pattern.
Time (E) speed on your ADC to dodge (Q) and create follow-up windows.
Hold (R) to counter Vel'Koz's burst and enable extended fights with your ADC.

Danger windows

Respect (E) knockup cooldown as it enables his ADC's damage and disengage.
Avoid standing near brush without vision due to Vel'Koz's poke angles and knockup threat.
Beware of Vel'Koz's level 6 (R) laser channel, which punishes poor positioning or lack of peel.

Early game

Win level 2 by landing (Q) stun combo with ADC follow-up for early pressure.
Hold brush control early to block Vel'Koz's split (Q) angles and protect ADC access.
Crash wave after level 3 double bomb threat to create roam or vision advantage.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (Q)+(E) combo for strong engage and ADC kite synergy.
Level 3 grants (W) for double bomb threat, increasing poke and peel potential.
Level 6 (R) revive forces Vel'Koz to hesitate on burst, enabling aggressive plays.

Win conditions

Convert bomb zone control and (E) speed into safe ADC trades and denied enemy ADC access.
Use (R) revive proactively to bait Vel'Koz's burst and reset fights favorably.
Secure river vision and coordinate with ADC to set up dragon and punish Vel'Koz roams.
