Guide to Synergizing Vel'Koz and Blitzcrank

Tips for Playing as Vel'Koz with Blitzcrank

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.

Advice to Understand How Blitzcrank Will Play

Using Blitzcrank's grab to pull an enemy into your tower range followed by a Power Fist will allow the tower to get several hits on them.

The 1-2-3 combo of Rocket Grab, Power Fist, and Static Field can devastate an individual opponent.
