Guide to Synergizing Gwen and Vel'Koz

Tips for Playing as Gwen with Vel'Koz

Gwen can still damage enemies outside her Hallowed Mists, especially with her Ultimate's range.

Some of Gwen's Abilities can apply her passive to multiple enemies, so aim them at groups to get maximum damage and healing.

Always be Attacking - In addition to dealing bonus damage, Gwen's Attacks empower or reset many of her Abilities.

Advice to Understand How Vel'Koz Will Play

Be very careful about when to use Life Form Disintegration Ray. Many champions have abilities that can interrupt the spell.

Shooting Plasma Fission diagonally and splitting at maximum range allows you to hit opponents that are out of the range of the initial missile, but is more challenging to pull off.

When laning, use Void Rift to kill minions while building stacks of Organic Deconstruction on your opponent. You can then follow up with your other abilities.

How to Play with Vel'Koz as Gwen in LoL

The Gwen Vel'Koz synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Vel'Koz, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Gwen sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Vel'Koz. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Vel'Koz helps Gwen perform poorer in ranked LoL games. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.

When Gwen plays on the same team as Vel'Koz, she observes a barely noticable drop in her total damage dealt. This change may indicate that Vel'Koz does not help protection for her to deal more damage or that his allyship also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Gwen is played with Vel'Koz on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Vel'Koz.

Moreover, when Gwen plays with Vel'Koz on the same side, she usually receives a little more damage than when she plays alone. Receiving more damage may mean that Vel'Koz does a poor job of covering Gwen in team fights.

Is Gwen better when played alongside Vel'Koz?

There is no universally accepted best companion for Gwen that will 100% of the time be her top teammate. However, Vel'Koz is a very typical teammate for Gwen. By locking into the same team as Gwen, he improves their win rate by 0.9% to 49.0%. This clearly indicates that there is not really a strong synergy between Gwen and Vel'Koz that allows them to perform at the top of their game together than without each other.

Vel'Koz has a greater difficulty than Gwen. That means you need to be careful when lining up Vel'Koz allies to play with, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

Playing together, Gwen players should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magic damage. When paired, these two can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

Conversely, by aligning Gwen and Vel'Koz together, you probably will not be giving your team a lot of engage. We recommend you include other champs on your team that fills this disparity in their abilities.

Regardless of your Vel'Koz ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
