Vex

In the League of Legends universe, Vex — known as the Gloomist — is a wielder of potent magic whose story is rooted in Shadow Isles.

Vex carries the mark of their homeland in everything they do, and their tale is one thread in the larger story of the world.

Ties to Shadow Isles. A blighted, ghost-haunted archipelago wrapped in the Black Mist, where death is never truly the end. Vex is counted among the champions connected to Shadow Isles — explore the wider region on its Shadow Isles lore page.

Role in Runeterra. In the fiction, Vex is a wielder of potent magic, usually seen in the mid role in play. Their in-game kit echoes this identity, but the lore frames them first as a figure of the world rather than a set of numbers.

Powers and presence. On the battlefields of Runeterra, Vex commands arcane power, bending magic to their will in ways ordinary warriors never could. It is this identity — far more than any statistic — that defines how Vex is remembered across the world, and how allies and enemies alike come to fear or follow them.

Others of Shadow Isles. Vex shares the story of Shadow Isles with champions such as Elise, Gwen, Hecarim, Kalista. Reading their tales side by side reveals how a single region shapes very different heroes and villains.

From lore to gameplay. Once you know who Vex is, see how they play: Vex champion page, builds, counters, skins. Each page pulls current data so story and strategy stay connected.
