How to beat Veigar

Common role: Mid

A scaling burst mage who cages you in a stun box and one-shots with infinite AP.

What makes Veigar dangerous

Veigar stacks AP permanently with his passive, so he scales infinitely. He zones and locks you with his E (Event Horizon), a cage that stuns anyone crossing its edge, then combos a point-and-click ultimate that executes based on your missing health. Late game he deletes any squishy the instant he lands his stun.

How to play against Veigar

• 1Never walk through the edge of his E cage — the border stuns, the inside doesn't. Stand still inside it or flash out rather than crossing the wall.
• 2His combo needs the stun. Dodge or don't get caught by his E and his whole one-shot falls apart.
• 3He's immobile with no escape. Assassins and dive punish him hard once his cage is on cooldown.
• 4Deny his passive stacks early — poke and deny his farm/kills so his infinite scaling starts from behind.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓No mobility and no escape — easy to dive.
• ✓His burst requires landing the E stun first.
• ✓Weak, farm-focused early game.
• ✓MR and magic shields blunt his one-shot.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Veigar's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Poder de Maldad increíble

  Veigar es el mayor mal que se haya visto en el corazón de Runaterra... ¡y cada vez es más malvado! Veigar aumenta su poder de habilidad de forma permanente al golpear a un campeón enemigo con un hechizo o al acabar con un enemigo.

• Q
  Ataque maligno

  Veigar lanza un rayo de energía oscura que inflige daño mágico a los dos primeros enemigos alcanzados. Las unidades asesinadas por el rayo otorgan a Veigar un poco de poder de habilidad permanente.

• W
  Materia oscura

  Veigar invoca una gran masa de materia oscura que cae del cielo sobre la ubicación del objetivo e inflige daño mágico. Las acumulaciones de Maldad increíble reducen el enfriamiento de Materia oscura.

• E
  Horizonte de sucesos

  Veigar retuerce los límites del espacio y crea una cárcel que aturde a los enemigos que la atraviesan.

  Strong: a cage that stuns anyone crossing its edge — the setup for his one-shot. Weak: the border stuns, not the inside — stand still within it or flash out, don't walk through the wall.

• R
  Estallido primordial

  El campeón objetivo sufre una explosión que inflige una gran cantidad de daño mágico. Dicha cantidad aumenta según la vida que le falte al objetivo.

  Strong: a point-and-click execute that scales with your missing health. Weak: without his E stun first the combo whiffs — dodge the cage and he can't kill you.

Itemization

Veigar is AP burst with true-damage execute scaling on his ult. Magic resist (Mercury's Treads, Kaenic Rookern) and a Banshee's Veil to block his E setup are key. Dodging his cage matters more than any item — no stun, no kill.
