How it works

Imperial Mandate Build specific
  1. This build is all about Imperial Mandate.
  2. And also all about slows.
  3. You support through disrupting fights, being annoying, Slowing/Healing/Buffing and soaking damage.

How to play

Imperial Mandate Build specific
  1. Your core items - Imperial Mandate and optionally Rylai's Crystal Scepter for even more slows (and consistency).
  2. Your CC triggers Glacial Augument that slows AOE. All Slows trigger Font of Life AND Imperial Mandate, healing and buffing your allies.
  3. Since LoL Patch 14.1 Imperial Mandate is changed. Now you need your team to proc it to deal any damage. So you need to play a little bit differently. Do not spam mindlessly. Try coordinating it with your team - when they are about to poke or when they go in.
  4. Font of Life heal can trigger various support items, like Ardent Censer or Staff of Flowing Water or even Moonstone Renewer!
  5. You need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
Viego specific
  1. Even if you are not going damage items and playing Imperial Mandate Viego, you will still have plenty of damage thanks to Q (target's current health + double on-hit) and semi-execute (target's missing health) on your Heartbreaker (R)
  2. You can be really good peeler. Enemy going after your carry? Stay close to your carry and stun with Spectral Maw (W) to peel the enemy off. More enemies coming? You can use Heartbreaker (R) to knock enemies back.
  3. Harrowed Path (E) is very interesting tool. Of course you can use it for movement/attack speed buff, but you can use it for scaring and intimidation. Enemy team will not check your items right away. If they see your E, they usually will start playing safer, backing up or not engaging.
