Sinergias

Lolita

Belerick

Vale works well with frontline Tanks like Lolita and Belerick who can protect him while he continuously pokes the enemy.

Vantagem contra

Terizla

Hilda

Vale counters slow Fighters like Terizla and Hilda because he can chip away their HP with his skills from afar while using his high Movement Speed to dodge their skills.

Cuidado contra

Hayabusa

Ling

Vale is countered by agile Assassins that can become untargetable like Hayabusa and Ling, as it will be difficult to catch them with his CC while they can eliminate Vale easily with their high damage.

LANE TIPS

General lane advice, not professional player guides. Source item and ability descriptions may be in English.

1
In mid, clear the wave before rotating; follow your jungler without losing lane experience.
2
Adapt the remaining build slots to enemy damage and healing; do not buy the same items every match.
3
Before engaging, check which enemies are visible on the minimap and wait for key crowd-control abilities to be used.
