Introduction
Hey Everyone, This is my ⚔️ Universal Viego Top Lane Guide ⚔️! In This Guide I'm explaining how to play Viego Top Lane. I bought him right when he came out and found some interesting builds that I didn't find on Mobafire. I wanted to share them here so everyone can try them out. In this guide I'm also going to explain how to play Viego with these Builds [see: How to play Viego]. This is my first Guide so if anything is wrong write it in the comments and I am going to correct it! |

Different Builds
Right now, there are two ways to play Viego on the Top Lane:
You can go one-shot, meaning Damage and Attack Speed (Assassin). One major difference in the Assassin build is, that it doesnt have Movement Speed, so you need to get to the enemy somehow. But if you can hit him, he's pretty much dead.
Or you can play a mix of Damage and Armor/HP (Bruiser). This build is easier to play and you really have a lot of health and armor while still doing gigantic amounts of damage.

How to play Viego.
So, if you decided to give Top Lane Viego a shot, this section describes how to get started.
Assassin:
Here you can find out how to play the Assassin Build. Scroll down for the Bruiser build. Above you can find out what you need to buy, Level, what Runes to pick and what Summoner Spells to use.
Early Game | Mid Game | Late Game |
---|---|---|
In Early Game you can't fight the Enemy. Try to farm as much as possible. Enemy Poke doesn't really matter because you can heal with your Q. (To heal with your Q, hit Minions or Enemies with it and hit the ones that glow again). You can try to "Poke" with your Q / W. | In Mid Game (when you are Level 6) you can start attacking the enemy. Viego's Ultimate is a Finisher / Executioner. Try to Combo [Strategies, M1] and when the enemy is low, hit your Ultimate [Strategies, M2]. You can still Poke him and then combo. Then it's easier to kill him and you maybe don't even need your Ultimate. | In Late Game (when you are Level 15 / 16) you can almost one-shot anybody (besides Tanks and some Bruisers). But one-shot doesn't mean Auto Attacking him once and he is dead. I mean hit Half to Full Combo and he's dead. In Team Fights Viego is the first one to Attack and he deals enormous amounts of damage. |
Bruiser:
This section explains how to play the Bruiser build. Above you can find out what you need to buy, Level, what Runes to pick and what Summoner Spells to use.

Enemies that don't make much damage and instead have a huge amount of shield are also an easy target. Because of your Items they do close to 0 damage to you and you can easily fight them. |
Strategies
This Section describes the different Strategies for Viego.
In the Laning Phase try to fight near walls for your E.
(E), W, Q (Repeat)
(E), W, Q (Repeat) => R (Executioner)
To make sure that you can use your E, fight near Walls.
Because of the passive of Viego's Q he deals a percentage of his maximum health as damage. This percentage scales when levelling the Q. Press shift and hover over the Q to see how it scales.
At Level 11 and Level 16 you have huge Power Spikes because of your Ultimate. Press shift and hover over your Ult to see what scales.
M1 Default Combo (without Ult)
In the Laning Phase try to fight near walls for your E.
(E), W, Q (Repeat)
M2 Default Combo (with Ult)
(E), W, Q (Repeat) => R (Executioner)
M3 Fighting near walls
To make sure that you can use your E, fight near Walls.
M4 The more HP, the more Damage
Because of the passive of Viego's Q he deals a percentage of his maximum health as damage. This percentage scales when levelling the Q. Press shift and hover over the Q to see how it scales.
M5 Power Spikes
At Level 11 and Level 16 you have huge Power Spikes because of your Ultimate. Press shift and hover over your Ult to see what scales.

Conclusion
My Conclusion is:
Top Lane Viego very Strong,
Easy 2 Learn and overall
F U N
I think he will probably get nerved because he is a bit overpowered, but only the future can tell.
This guide is far from perfect but i don't know anything more to say, so... Here it is, for everyone to say i missed literally everything that is important about Viego.
Thanks for Reading my Guide and if you liked it please give it a +1 and write a comment.
