Veigar
Champions that beat Veigar
- Ahrimid
Veigar needs to land Event Horizon (E) to set up Primordial Burst (R). Ahri sidesteps the cage edge, then charms him through his own setup window and one-shots him before his stacked Baleful Strike (Q) AP matters.
- Akshanmid
Veigar needs Event Horizon (E) to land before Primordial Burst (R) hits. Akshan swings (E) around the wall onto his flank, breaks the cage line, and his Dark Matter (W) telegraph is far too slow to catch the swing recovery frame.
- Alistarsupport
Headbutt (W) into Pulverize (Q) combo flings Veigar out of his Event Horizon (E) center to a side wall, denying the cage stun trigger. Unbreakable Will (R) damage reduction tanks Primordial Burst (R) burst and Triumphant Roar passive heals Alistar through any retaliation.
- Aniviamid
Veigar has no dash and needs Event Horizon (E) to land before Primordial Burst (R). Flash Frost (Q) chill plus Frostbite (E) doubled damage out-trades him at range, and Crystallize (W) walls off Baleful Strike (Q) farm and his cage angle.
- Anniemid
Veigar has no dash and needs Event Horizon (E) to land Primordial Burst (R). Pyromania stun lands inside his cage setup at 600 range and Summon: Tibbers (R) damage per second deletes him before Baleful Strike (Q) stacks matter.
- Aurelion Solmid
Veigar has no dash and Event Horizon (E) is a slow cage telegraph. Astral Flight (W) flight closes the gap while Breath of Light (Q) keeps channelling — he eats sustained Q damage outside Baleful Strike (Q) range and dies before Primordial Burst (R) sets up.
- Auroramid
Veigar needs Aurora standing still for Event Horizon (E) cage and Dark Matter (W) to land. Across the Veil (W) invisibility breaks the cast read and lets her sidestep the setup before Primordial Burst (R) detonates.
- Azirmid
Veigar has no dash and Event Horizon (E) cage is a slow telegraph. Arise! (W) soldier range out-paces Baleful Strike (Q) and Conquering Sands (Q) soldier dash sidesteps the cage edge before Primordial Burst (R) detonates.
- Blitzcranksupport
Rocket Grab (Q) is a 1100-range projectile that pulls Veigar out of his own Event Horizon (E) before the cage stuns. He has no dash, no shield until Banshee's Veil completion. One hook equals Dark Matter (W) plus Power Fist (E) plus auto execute under tower kill.
- Brandmid
Veigar has to stand still to land Baleful Strike (Q) on minions for AP stacks and to set up Event Horizon (E) cage. Pillar of Flame (W) zone plus Conflagration (E) blaze chain into Sear (Q) stun before Primordial Burst (R) detonates.
- Cassiopeiamid
Cassiopeia outranges and out-trades Veigar before Phenomenal Evil Power (P) stacks online. Twin Fang (E) on Noxious Blast (Q) poison out-DPSs Baleful Strike (Q) cast, and Miasma (W) blocks his Event Horizon (E) escape.
- Corkimid
Missile Barrage (R) reaches 1225 units and Valkyrie (W) sidesteps Event Horizon (E) stun edge. Veigar without a dash eats repeated R poke and cannot punish W cooldown windows before Phenomenal Evil Power (P) stacks online.
- Elisesupport
Cocoon (E) interrupts Event Horizon (E) cage placement at point-and-click range. Rappel (E) ignores Baleful Strike (Q) stack range, and Skittering Frenzy (W) in Spider Form bursts Veigar before Primordial Burst (R) executes Elise.
- Fizzmid
Playful / Trickster (E) goes untargetable mid-cage cross, skipping the Event Horizon (E) stun trigger entirely. Urchin Strike (Q) dash gap-closes on Veigar and Chum the Waters (R) shark zone pushes him out of position before Phenomenal Evil Power stacks count.
- Heimerdingermid
Veigar cannot walk into a 3-turret nest without taking sustained DPS while stacking Phenomenal Evil Power (P). The CH-2 Electron Storm Grenade (E) stun pins him during Event Horizon (E) cage setup, and turret beams punish the Primordial Burst (R) cast windup.
- Hweimid
Subject: Torment (E) eye roots Veigar before he can complete Event Horizon (E) cage setup; Phenomenal Evil Power (P) stacking requires standing still. Subject: Disaster (Q) Severing Bolt punishes the rooted target window, denying Primordial Burst (R) all-in.
- Ivernjungle
Rootcaller (Q) locks Veigar before he can complete Event Horizon (E) cage setup; the ADC-attached dash from Q lands a kill before Phenomenal Evil Power (P) stacks online. Daisy! (R) knockup interrupts Primordial Burst (R) cast windup.
- Jaycemid
Baleful Strike (Q) stacks Phenomenal Evil Power only on last-hit kills — Cannon Shock Blast (Q) shoves the wave from outside Event Horizon (E) cage range, denying both farm stacks and the only setup tool Veigar has to land Primordial Burst (R).
- Karthusjungle
Veigar needs Baleful Strike (Q) last-hit stacks for Phenomenal Evil Power (P) to scale — Karthus presses tempo with cross-map Requiem (R) snipes that deny him farm windows. Defile (E) ticks faster than Event Horizon (E) cage can set up Primordial Burst (R).
- Kassadinmid
After level 11 Riftwalk (R) has a 2s cooldown — Kassadin blinks behind Veigar, Null Sphere (Q) silences the Event Horizon (E) cage cast, and Force Pulse (E) slow chains AA execute before Primordial Burst (R) lands. He has no dash to escape the chain blink.
- Katarinamid
Veigar's Event Horizon cage has a 1.25s delay and small radius — Shunpo (E) dodges it. With no dash or escape, Veigar cannot survive a W-E-Q combo post-6 and loses the reset race.
- Kayletop
Both scale infinitely but Kayle wins the race — Divine Ascent (P) milestone passives at 6/11/16 ramp faster than Phenomenal Evil Power (P) stacks on creep last-hits. Event Horizon (E) cage is broken by Divine Judgment (R) self-cleanse before Primordial Burst (R) lands.
- Kledtop
Veigar's Event Horizon (E) cage is too small to lock Kled out of the Violent Tendencies (W) 4-attack chain — Bear Trap on a Rope (Q) yanks him out of farm range and kills him before Phenomenal Evil Power (P) stacks ramp.
- Kog'Mawbot
Veigar needs to stand still to land Event Horizon (E) cage setup — Living Artillery (R) chips him from off-screen during the cast. Bio-Arcane Barrage (W) percent-HP shreds him faster than Primordial Burst (R) can lock on, and he has no dash to punish Kog's W window.
- LeBlancmid
Veigar has no movement ability — Distortion (W) plus Sigil of Malice (Q) detonation deletes him before Phenomenal Evil Power (P) stacks ramp. Event Horizon (E) cage is dodged by W repositioning, and Mimic (R) Q double-tap kills before Primordial Burst (R) lands.
- Lissandramid
Glacial Path (E) re-cast clears Event Horizon (E) cage edge before the stun triggers, denying his entire setup. Ring of Frost (W) roots Veigar while Dark Matter (W) is mid-air and Frozen Tomb (R) on him stops Primordial Burst (R) channel before the finisher executes.
- Lockemid
Ashen Pursuit (E) jumps the gap these mages can't answer, and Silver Stake (P) on-hit shreds them as you weave autos. Veigar's only stop is Event Horizon (E) — bait or flash that one cage and his combo has no follow-up before Purgatory (R) executes.
- Luxmid
Light Binding (Q) outranges Baleful Strike (Q) farm range and roots Veigar before he sets Event Horizon (E) cage edge. Lucent Singularity (E) zones his combo setup and Final Spark (R) bursts him through Primordial Burst (R) windup since he has no dash.
- Master Yijungle
Alpha Strike (Q) crosses 600 units and goes untargetable mid-dash, dodging Event Horizon (E) cage edge stun. Veigar has no escape once Highlander (R) commits, and Coup de Grace cleans him up under 40% HP before Primordial Burst (R) finisher.
- Melmid
Veigar cannot dodge Solar Snare (E) root without dash, so the full Radiant Volley (Q) follow-up lands. Once Overwhelm is stacked, Golden Eclipse (R) global picks him off the moment he steps for a Baleful Strike (Q) farm or recalls low under tower.
- Nocturnejungle
Veigar relies on Event Horizon to stun melee threats, but Shroud of Darkness blocks the cage outright when timed at the leap landing, denying him the lockdown his Primordial Burst needs.
- Poppysupport
Heroic Charge (E) wall-stun displaces Veigar through the Event Horizon (E) perimeter to a side wall, denying the cage stun trigger. Steadfast Presence (W) dash-block stops his Flash escape and Keeper's Verdict (R) ends every disengage attempt with map-wide knockback.
- Qiyanamid
Veigar has zero dash — Audacity's 650-unit targeted dash closes inside Event Horizon cage before he can predict the angle, and rock-empowered Edge of Ixtal wall-stun plus Supreme Display of Talent R detonation chains AoE stun on him.
- Rakansupport
Grand Entrance (W) jumps on Veigar and the knock-up plus Battle Dance (E) charm chain interrupts Dark Matter (W) cast mid-windup, displacing Veigar inside his own Event Horizon (E) before the stun triggers. The Quickness (R) chases through every Flash kite attempt.
- Ryzemid
Baleful Strike (Q) is a skill-shot poke and Event Horizon (E) is a stationary cage — Veigar has no mobility outside flash. Spell Flux (E) into Rune Prison (W) is a guaranteed root, then Overload (Q) bounces between fluxed targets for a clean burst before he can cage Ryze.
- Smolderbot
MMOOOMMMM! (R) is a cross-map AOE ground target and Veigar needs to stand still to set up Event Horizon (E) cage into Primordial Burst (R). He has no dash to leave the sweet spot, and Phenomenal Evil Power passive AP needs farm time Smolder also wants.
- Syndramid
Veigar needs to stand on his Event Horizon to land Dark Matter and stack Phenomenal Evil Power. Syndra places a sphere at the cage edge, E stuns him inside his own ring, and the full Q-W-R burst executes before his stack-scaling AP catches up to her base damage.
- Taliyahmid
Veigar has no dash to break Seismic Shove W's 0.85s aim circle and his Event Horizon E cage telegraphs his commit point. Taliyah lands a clean W displacement onto his own cage, chains Unraveled Earth E mines for the stun,
- Threshsupport
Death Sentence (Q) is a 1100-range hook that pulls Veigar out of his own Event Horizon (E) before the cage stuns, then Flay (E) follow-up displaces him further. The Box (R) wall blocks his Flash escape and Damnation passive scales armor over the lane.
- Twisted Fatemid
Veigar has no dash to escape the gold-card walk-up and Event Horizon E cage needs wind-up time. Twisted Fate's Pick a Card W gold lock is point-and-click and stuns him before he can land Dark Matter W drop, Wild Cards Q fans out at 1450 range past his cage edge,
- Vel'Kozmid
Tectonic Disruption (E) knock-up cancels Veigar Event Horizon (E) cage cast mid-windup, setting up Plasma Fission (Q) plus Void Rift (W) for the 3-stack Organic Deconstruction true-damage proc.
- Viktormid
Veigar Dark Matter (W) has a long ground-target wind-up that locks him in place, so Viktor drops Gravity Field (W) on top and the stun procs before he can recast. Hextech Ray (E) plus the augmented Siphon Power (Q) auto finishes him before Event Horizon (E) cage drops.
- Vladimirmid
Vladimir Sanguine Pool (W) turns untargetable mid-cast and dodges Veigar Event Horizon (E) stun ring on entry, so he resurfaces outside the cage. Crimson Pact passive HP-scaled Transfusion (Q) drains him and Hemoplague (R) damage amp out-trades Baleful Strike (Q) burst combo.
- Xerathmid
Veigar must walk forward to last-hit with Baleful Strike for his stack scaling, but charged Arcanopulse out-ranges that step-up window. Event Horizon cage only matters if Veigar gets close enough to set it, which he never does against max-range Q poke pre-6.
- Yonemid
Soul Unbound E makes Yone's body untargetable for the dash duration, so Dark Matter W and Primordial Burst R hit empty space if Yone E's away. Veigar has no dash to escape the Mortal Steel tornado knock-up, and Event Horizon E cage is too short to peel Yone in melee range.
- Zacjungle
Elastic Slingshot E charged from river fog lands the full knockup on Veigar. Event Horizon E cage is cast around his own feet for self-peel, but the E knockup ignores the cage on landing. Veigar has no dash to break the engage line before R follow-up.
- Ziggsmid
Veigar must stand still to cast Dark Matter W delayed AOE and Baleful Strike Q stack farming. Ziggs' Bouncing Bomb Q outranges his approach and Satchel Charge W self-knockback escapes any Event Horizon E cage attempt before it lands.
- Zileanmid
Zilean's double Time Bomb Q stun lands on stationary Veigar — he has no dash to dodge the second bomb proc. He then burst-trades with Luden's Echo before Veigar can answer with Event Horizon E cage, and Dark Matter W delayed AOE is sidestepped by Time Warp W self-speed.
- Zoemid
Zoe's Sleepy Trouble Bubble E is a long bubble with delayed sleep — Veigar has no dash and eats the doubled-damage Paddle Star! Q wake-up. Event Horizon E cage requires Zoe to step inside, but her Portal Jump R blink and Q redirect angle make the cage trivial to avoid.
- Zyrasupport
Zyra's Grasping Roots E is a long linear root that lands clean on Veigar — no dash to dodge. The root chains into Deadly Spines Q plus a Stranglethorns R knockup. Veigar's Event Horizon E cage cannot peel a Zyra at range while her plants attack from behind.
Champions Veigar beats
- Akalimid
Event Horizon (E) stuns Akali on entry through the outer ring. Shuriken Flip (E) dash walks into the cage perimeter if dropped on her landing, locking her for W Dark Matter and Primordial Burst (R) execute before Perfect Execution (R) two-stage burst lands.
- Jannasupport
Janna lacks self-sustain and her low HP pool dies to a single Event Horizon (E) plus Dark Matter (W) plus Primordial Burst (R) rotation when caught out of position. Howling Gale (Q) and Monsoon (R) disengage land before Veigar Q range so Eye Of The Storm (E) wastes shield uptime.
- Leonasupport
Zenith Blade (E) is a line lock-on dash with clear telegraph that Event Horizon (E) catches on entry, locking her for Veigar Dark Matter (W) plus Primordial Burst (R) execute. Sunlight passive marks the ADC but Leona dies during her own Solar Flare (R) stun setup.
- Nautilussupport
Dredge Line (Q) is a skillshot hook with windup telegraph that Event Horizon (E) catches when Nautilus pulls himself in, locking him for Veigar Dark Matter (W) plus Primordial Burst (R) execute. Staggering Blow passive root cannot fire during cage stun.
- Sorakasupport
Astral Infusion (W) costs Soraka her own HP, so Baleful Strike (Q) pokes bleed her dry over the lane phase. Starcall (Q) walk-up range falls inside Veigar Q range and Wish (R) global heal cannot save the ADC during Primordial Burst (R) execute window.
- Sylasmid
Sylas Kingslayer (W) second-cast dash and Abscond / Abduct (E) chain pull both require crossing Veigar Event Horizon (E) perimeter to engage. Drop the cage around the wave and the dash entry triggers the stun before Petricite Burst passive empowers his next auto-attack on Veigar.
- Talonmid
Talon Assassin's Path (E) wall hop forces him into a fixed landing spot, and Veigar drops Event Horizon (E) on the landing path so the cross-perimeter stun locks him for the W Dark Matter and Primordial Burst (R) execute window. Blade's End passive bleed cannot land during stun.
- Yasuomid
Yasuo Sweeping Blade (E) dash through minions or yourself requires crossing Veigar Event Horizon (E) ring to close. Drop the cage perimeter on the wave and the dash entry triggers the stun before Wind Wall (W) blocks Baleful Strike (Q) or Way of the Wanderer shield refreshes.
- Yuumisupport
Baleful Strike (Q) out-pokes Yuumi healing throughput from Prowling Projectile (Q) and Zoomies (E). She loses her body to one Event Horizon (E) plus Dark Matter (W) rotation when she detaches to last-hit, and You and Me! (W) cannot reattach during stun. Final Chapter (R) blocked.
- Zedmid
Event Horizon E cage stuns Zed the moment Death Mark R dashes in. The 3-second mark window needs Zed to keep dealing damage — locked down at the cage edge, Zed produces nothing for the detonation. Primordial Burst R then executes him under 30% HP.
