Abilities
Doom 'n GloomPC
Passive - Doom 'n Gloom
Effect Radius: 1600

Passive - Doom: Periodically, Vex empowers her next ability to knockdown and fear enemies hit for 0.75 / 1 / 1.25 / 1.5 seconds, during which they are slow by 60% - 99% (based on level). If Looming Darkness 2 triggers Doom, enemies hit will flee from the epicenter instead. Doom's cooldown resets upon respawning.

Innate - Gloom: Nearby enemy champions and monsters that dash or blink will be marked with Gloom for 6 seconds. Vex's next basic attack, which becomes projectile, or basic ability hit against an enemy with Gloom will detonate the mark. Looming Darkness will also inflict Gloom, but cannot detonate it.

Gloom's detonation deals 40 - 162.94 (based on level) (+ 25% AP) bonus magic damage and refunds 25% of Doom's cooldown. Against non-champions, this instead deals 40% / 45% / 50% / 55% / 60% damage and refunds 10% of Doom's cooldown.

Personal SpacePC
W - Personal Space
Cost: 75 mana
CD: 16 / 15 / 14 / 13 / 12
Cast Time: 0.25

Shield Strength: 50 / 75 / 100 / 125 / 150 (+ 75% AP)
Magic Damage: 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 / 240 (+ 30% AP)

Range: 800
Effect Radius: 200 / 213 / 226 / 239 / 252 / 265 / 278 / 291 / 300

Active: Vex tosses her Shadow to explode at the target location, dealing magic damage to enemies hit and slow them for 2 seconds. The explosion's radius increases based on cast distance.

Magic Damage: 50 / 70 / 90 / 110 / 130 (+ 40 / 45 / 50 / 55 / 60% AP)
Slow: 30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50%

Killing an enemy with Looming Darkness refunds 10% of Doom 'n Gloom cooldown, increased to 25% for champion kills.

Shadow SurgePC
R - Shadow Surge
Cost: 100 mana
CD: 140 / 120 / 100
Cast Time: 0.25
Range: 2000 / 2500 / 3000
Effect Radius: sight 650

Active: Vex sends her Shadow in the target direction, which grants sight around its trajectory and deals magic damage to enemies hit.

Magic Damage: 75 / 125 / 175 (+ 20% AP)
Magic Damage: 150 / 250 / 350 (+ 50% AP)
Total Magic Damage: 225 / 375 / 525 (+ 70% AP)

Shadow stops upon hitting an enemy champion to mark them for 4 seconds, during which they are true sight. Shadow Surge can be recast while the target is marked.

Recast: Vex dashes towards the marked target with displacement immunity. Upon arrival, she consumes their mark and deals magic damage.

If Vex scores a takedown against Shadow Surge's marked target within 8 seconds of its application, Vex can cast Shadow Surge again within 12 seconds at no cost after 0.5 seconds, repeating the effects.
