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.

Niezwykle Nikczemna MocVeigar jest największym złem, jakie kiedykolwiek uderzyło w serce Runeterry — i staje się coraz potężniejszy! Trafienie wrogiego bohatera zaklęciem lub wzięcie udziału w zabójstwie trwale zwiększa moc umiejętności Veigara.

Złowrogie UderzenieVeigar strzela pociskiem mrocznej energii, który zadaje obrażenia magiczne pierwszym dwóm trafionym celom. Veigar na stałe zyskuje trochę mocy umiejętności, gdy zabije w ten sposób jednostkę.

Horyzont ZdarzeńVeigar zagina krawędzie przestrzeni, tworząc klatkę, która ogłusza wrogów, gdy spróbują przez nią przejść.
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.

Przedwieczny WybuchPoraża wybranego wrogiego bohatera, zadając dużą ilość obrażeń magicznych, które są tym większe, im więcej zdrowia brakuje celowi.
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.
