How to Play Vex in ARAM Mayhem

Stay at mid range and poke with Mistral Bolt (Q) and Looming Darkness (E), which applies Gloom that Mistral Bolt and Personal Space (W) consume for bonus damage. When Doom 'n Gloom is ready, your next basic ability fears and interrupts dashes, so hold it for divers. Shadow Surge (R) resets if the marked champion dies soon after taking its damage, letting you chain kills.
