Always try poking the enemy after they used a dash since you will be able to do extra damage to marked targets.
Use your ultimate accordingly, if you are trying to assassinate someone, use it at your advantage, you can also use it to escape on a target that is alone.
Use your W shield to block powerful attacks since it's perfect for those instances.

Swain: Swain has a lot of sustain for you to properly bully him or kill him. Look to roam in this matchup.
Veigar: You need to try to be as aggressive as you can early game, otherwise he will just outscale you.
Cassiopeia: This lane is very hard since she has a lot of sustain + damage so you need to either ask for your jungler to gank or roam.

Le'Blanc: Hold onto your fear until she wants to jump in then just W and cancel her jump.
Azir: Azir will mostly remaing still when he throws his soldiers so you can get easy ultimate abilities.
Akali: It's all about playing your fear properly, you can disengage her all in immediately.

Early Game: You have to mostly be worried about long ranged champions that can out-range you from afar, against melee ones just play around your fear. Your real power spike starts when you get your ultimate, but don't underestimate your fear. That's one of the biggest assets we have in our kit.
Mid Game: When the first bot turret is taken now you need to swap with your bot lane and go bot. Keep applying pressure in the side lane and join your team when you need to. Diving is something that is very doable on Vex, you have a shield and a fear to make your job much easier.
Late Game: Keep doing the same thing even in late game, now you should have an easier time since you will have more items. You want be more vigilant on how you approach objectives now because the longer the game goes the more important they become.
