BLADE OF THE RUINED KINGSPECTRAL MAWHARROWED PATHHEARTBREAKER
Once ruler of a long-lost kingdom, Viego perished over a thousand years ago when his attempt to bring his wife back from the dead triggered the magical catastrophe known as the Ruination. Transformed into a powerful, unliving wraith tortured by an obsessive longing for his centuries-dead queen, Viego now stands as the Ruined King, controlling the deadly Harrowings as he scours Runeterra for anything that might one day restore her, and destroying all in his path as the Black Mist pours endlessly from his cruel, broken heart.

They reduce damage taken from enemy champion attacks and grant a protective shield after taking physical damage from a champion, helping you survive extended trades and heavy bursts of physical damage. They are an excellent choice against marksmen, fighters, and other champions who rely primarily on physical attacks.TIPS: Finally, for your items, you should build Kraken Slayer (Deal bonus physical damage) as your first item, followed by Gluttonous Greaves (Grants Attack Damage and Omnivamp) or Plated Steelcaps (Reduces damage from champion attacks) depending on the situation. (sometimes it will still be better to build a boot as the first item, which significantly increases the mobility of your champion) the third key element in our build is The Collector (Execute low health champions).
Maybe now it's time to think about upgrading your boot, invest in Immortal Treds (Deal bonus damage or gain increased healing and shielding). You may want to replace it with Armored Advance (Grants Armor and a shield), it all depends on your playstyle and the situation on the battlefield.
The remaining last three items are situational, of course you can use the example builds above. But for a more effective game you will need to pay attention to the situation on the battlefield.

2800Dead Man's Plate TIPS: This item provides a substantial boost to health and armor, and its “Momentum” passive builds movement speed as you move—up to a cap—until you land an attack, which then triggers “Crushing Blow”, dealing bonus magic damage based on the momentum removed and slowing enemies at full stacks. This makes it an excellent choice for tanks and bruisers who need extra mobility to engage quickly and sustain through fights. Tips: ideal for champions who need to close distance and absorb damage; pairs extremely well with Spellblade items (e.g., Divine Sunderer) for additional burst damage on engage.

VIEGO Jungle Path
Explore VIEGO jungle clear routes, camp orders and pathing tips for Wild Rift.
01 / JUNGLE CLEAR / PATHING
full clear with a leashless Raptor start
GANK
GANKThis Pro Viego Jungle Path is a leashless Raptor start that focuses on a full clear. Unlock (Q) BLADE OF THE RUINED KING at level one and after clearing Raptors go ahead and unlock (W) SPECTRAL MAW. The great area of effect from (Q) BLADE OF THE RUINED KING is what allows you to easily kill Krugs at level two and then do the Red Brambleback next. Now you'll be level three, unlocking (E) HARROWED PATH. Proceed to kill Murk Wolves, Blue Buff and the Gromp. At level four you will upgrade (Q) BLADE OF THE RUINED KING and head over to the river to clear the Rift Scuttler. Having the Red Buff early on improves the initial clear speed but the Red Buff slowly starts wearing off when this clear is complete. This is why you'll rush to kill the Rift Scuttler and try to duel with the enemy jungler or gank a lane while the Red Buff is still active as it increases your chances of success.
This Viego Jungle clear can adapt to many situations which makes it very popular on Viego. If you'd like to gank bot/top lane at level three, path Raptors → Red Brambleback → Krugs → Gank instead.
