Vex is a counter-mobility mage: her passive empowers her regularly so that her next basic ability terrifies and interrupts dashes. Every dash by a nearby enemy gives her a consumable mark for bonus damage and a reduced cooldown. Shadow Surge marks then makes her dash onto the enemy.
Vex protects her team from engages: her empowered ability terrifies the diving enemy, Personal Space gives her a shield, and Shadow Surge lets her finish a marked carry. She is very effective against compositions that rely on dashes.
