Velkoz is one of the better champions in League of Legends, especially when you compare him (or her, we're not sure which) to the rest of the recently released field.

However, as is the case with any champion, you have to build Velkoz correctly in order to tap into his vast damage potential. That's why we put this item build guide together for you.

If you stick with this build, you'll have so much Ability Power and Magic Penetration that you'll be able to hurt any enemy, regardless of how they build.

LoL Velkoz Item Build Guide: How to Use Velkoz in League of Legends 

1. Rabadon's Deathcap

This item is a no brainer. It gives you extremely high amounts of Ability Power, and increases your total Ability Power by an extra 30 percent as well. Rabadon's Deathcap is just one of those items that every mage, including Velkoz, needs to have in their inventory if they want to maximize their damage output.

2. Sorcerer's Shoes

This is a no-brainer. Sorcerer's Shoes gives you an extra 15 Magic Penetration, and 45 movement speed. When combined with Void Staff and Abyssal Scepter, you're guaranteed to cut through a significant amount of enemy magic resistance, whether your foes stack up on items with that attribute or not.

3. Void Staff

If you get Rabadon's Deathcap, you might force enemy champions to build magic resist in order to protect themselves from you. That's why you need to get Void Staff, which gives you 70 Ability Power and 35 percent Magic Penetration.Even if enemies don't start building items with Magic Resist before you start to get Void Staff, be proactive. Don't wait for the enemy to start counter-building. By building Void Staff, you're countering anyone's potential efforts to counter you.

4. Deathfire Grasp

Like Void Staff, this item is a tank killer. It gives you 120 Ability Power, which is the same amount that Rabadon's Deathcap provides. On top of that, the active ability that's unique to this item deals damage to an enemy champion that's equal to 15 percent of their maximum health. So, the more maximum health that your target has, the more damage that this active ability will do. In addition, the active ability on Deathfire Grasp amplifies any magic damage done to the target enemy champion by 20 percent for four seconds. To top it off, Deathfire Grasp will lower Velkoz's cooldowns by 10 percent.Simply put, this is a fantastic item.

5. Zhonya's Hourglass

This is the third item on this list that gives you 120 Ability Power, mostly thanks to the Needlessly Large Rod that you need to complete each item on here outside of Void Staff.Zhonya's Hourglass has two key survivability components. One gives you 50 Armor, and the other, which is an active ability that's specific to this item, puts you in stasis. However, while you're unable to move, you're invulnerable for 2.5 seconds.That could be all the time you need until your spell cooldowns refresh.

6. Abyssal Scepter

Abyssal Scepter is a key item in this lineup. Abyssal Scepter adds 70 Ability Power, 50 Magic Reist, and lowers the magic resistance of nearby enemy champions by 20. That means anyone on your team who deals magic damage, including you, will benefit from this item. Plus, the extra resistance to magic damage gives you a decent amount of survivability.
