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.

사악한 일격베이가가 어둠의 에너지를 발사하여 처음 맞은 적 둘에게 마법 피해를 입힙니다. 이 스킬로 적 유닛을 처치하면 베이가의 주문력이 영구적으로 상승합니다.

E
사건의 지평선베이가가 공간의 가장자리를 왜곡해 지나가는 적을 기절시키는 감옥을 생성합니다.
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
태초의 폭발적 챔피언을 맞춰 매우 큰 마법 피해를 입힙니다. 피해량은 대상의 잃은 체력에 비례해 증가합니다.
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.
