Read from Milio's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Vel'Koz.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Vel'Koz | Vel'Koz out-ranges your Q at level 1 and pokes for free. |
| Level 2 | Vel'Koz | His level-2 split-Q plus W spike chunks your ADC before you can answer. |
| Level 3 | Vel'Koz | Level 3 he stacks Deconstruction poke you can't heal through in lane. |
| Levels 4-5 | Vel'Koz | Levels 4-5 his artillery damage still beats your single-target sustain. |
| Level 6 | Vel'Koz | His level-6 R execute out-damages your reactive heal-cleanse. |
| First item | Vel'Koz | At first item his ranged poke still edges your heal output. |
| Two+ items | Milio | By 2+ items your team-wide shields and cleanse blanket his single-target burst and you win. |
You are behind at 1-2: Vel'Koz's Q and W simply out-range your kick, so hide behind minions, shield the poke with E, and give up CS rather than trade into his cone. His reach beats your kick outright, so hide behind the wave and heal through the chip instead of contesting. Keep the campfire on your own ground, hold the kick for the moment his knock-up is spent, and shield your carry before the rotation rather than in the middle of it.
