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 Maligno Fenomenal

  Veigar é o maior ser maligno a chegar ao coração de Runeterra - e vai ficar cada vez maior! Atingir um Campeão inimigo com uma habilidade ou executar um golpe final concede a Veigar um aumento permanente de Poder de Habilidade.

• Q
  Golpe Maligno

  Veigar faz um disparo de energia das trevas que causa Dano Mágico aos dois primeiros inimigos atingidos. Unidades abatidas por este disparo concedem a ele um pouco de Poder de Habilidade permanentemente.

• W
  Matéria Escura

  Veigar invoca uma grande massa de Matéria Escura que cai do céu sobre o local-alvo, causando Dano Mágico ao chegar no chão. Os acúmulos de Poder Maligno Fenomenal reduzem o Tempo de Recarga de Matéria Escura.

• E
  Horizonte de Eventos

  Veigar distorce os limites do espaço, criando uma prisão que Atordoa os inimigos que a atravessam.

  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
  Explosão Primordial

  Explode o Campeão-alvo inimigo, causando uma grande quantia de Dano Mágico, que aumenta com base na Vida perdida do alvo.

  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.
