Mechanical Tips

  • Event Horizon (3) mechanical stun: the cage stuns ONLY enemies that touch the EDGES of the cage — do not place the cage ON the target but around it, so that the edges are where the target is or is heading
  • Dark Matter (2) with stun: the second ability has a visible cast time — use it WHILE the cage is stunning for a guaranteed hit that cannot be dodged
  • Primordial Burst (Ult) scaling: the ultimate deals massively increased damage when the target is below 35% HP — NEVER use the ultimate as an opener; first stack the other skills to wear the target down, then finish them off
  • Phenomenal Evil Power (passive): Killing a champion or hitting them with Baleful Strike (1) grants permanent AP stacks — prioritise kills and pokes with skill 1 to build up power

Common Mistakes

  • Event Horizon placed incorrectly: placing the cage ON the target will not stun them if they are already inside it — the cage only stuns on contact with the EDGES; place it slightly ahead of the target
  • Primordial Burst too early: using the ultimate on a target at 80% HP deals significantly less damage — wait until the execution threshold is reached
  • Positioning yourself in the front line: Veigar is extremely fragile — stay strictly in the back line, letting the front line absorb the engagements before unleashing the combo

Notable Interactions

  • Event Horizon (3) can zone or block paths without necessarily stunning — useful for cutting off escape routes in the jungle
  • With Luden’s Echo + Rabadon’s Deathcap and high passive stacks, Veigar can one-shot tanks in the late game
  • In team compositions featuring initiators (Malphite, Jarvan), Veigar’s combo activates on the entire team whilst they are stunned or knocked up
