Just a few days back, Riot Games gave us a sneak peek at League of Legends' new champion Vex, an adorable yordle with an attitude problem who was presumably coming to the game soon. Now, the studio has revealed the moody little champ – aptly known as the Gloomist – will be heading to the live game with its next patch, 11.19, and we've got the full rundown of her abilities ahead of time.
First up, our new yordle's passive. Also aptly named, this is called Doom 'n' Gloom and is broken into two parts based on those two things. Doom sees Vex periodically become empowered, giving her next ability an edge in interrupting dashes and fearing enemies. The second aspect means that whenever an enemy nearby blinks or dashes they get marked with Gloom. "Vex’s next basic attack against a marked enemy detonates the mark, dealing bonus damage and refunding part of Doom's cooldown," as Riot's details explain.
As we saw teased in Vex's gameplay preview clip, her Q, Mistral Bolt, launches a wave forward which dishes out magic damage to the enemies it moves through. After a brief delay, this wave will accelerate but also lose some of its width. It also detonates Gloom on any marked enemies it strikes.
