Vex came to TFT with her deadly nightmares and shadows to kill her enemies with fear. She is one of the most-picked 3 gold champions to be the main damage dealer in this set.
Vex is a really strong choice since her skill deals tonnes of damage, and every third time she hits it, it moves through all the units, dealing much damage to them.
In this article, we will be discussing everything about Vex and how to best place her in TFT to make sure you get there first.
Don't care. Don't care. Don't care.

Vex’s stats, items, traits, and best builds will be discussed down below to make sure you look fearless enough and win your games.
