Overview

Prioritize shielding your ADC with (W) to mitigate Vel'Koz's poke and enable extended fights.

Trading pattern

Engage with (Q) root only when your ADC can immediately follow-up to punish Vel'Koz's immobility.
Hold (W) shield to peel during (E) knockup or (R) channel to protect ADC access.
Deny Vel'Koz brush control to limit his poke angles and reduce enemy ADC's safe positioning.

Danger windows
