Threats & Synergies
Varus
Varus with his long range poke is hard to deal with when you can not reach him with cage. Hard to kill in lane in combination that he always has kill pressure on you. You need to play as safe as possible unless he plays poorly.
Leona
Due to her high damage from her kit you can create many lethal scenarios from level 3 on that is not found in many supports. Her passive just deals a lot of damage allowing you to always kill the opponent.

Champion Build Guide
Hello, My name is Trieuloo and I have been playing league since S2.I have started taking league of legends more seriously since S9 and have peaked at 851 lp challenger, and am challenger of writing this guide. This has been primarily done through picking off meta picks as well! Veigar is one of the most fun champions I have played in league of legends and one that I have played a lot in the bot lane. I got introduced to Veigar through playing against duoking and realized how strong this champion actually was in the bot lane. To this date I am one of the few players in challenger who play Veigar. With strong 3v3, 2v2, and teamfighting there is very little weakness to be had in Veigar's kit. This is going to be my first mobafire guide so feel free to give me any critcism, or feedback. If you would like a guide in video format feel free to check out my youtube video @ : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBDkBRhiN0wIf you have anymore indepth questions on matchups or anything related you can ask me questions in the comments, or on my stream @ https://www.twitch.tv/trieuloo |

PHENOMENAL EVIL POWER (Passive) Passive which enables Veigar to end up one shotting people, and why he is such a threatening champion. Every spell that hits an enemy champion counts as one AP and every kill / assist grants 5 AP. |
|
BALEFUL STRIKE (Q): Veigar's bread and butter which you use to trade, and the only ability in his kit that can get stacks from minions. If you hit a cannon / big jg camp it will grant you two passive stacks, otherwise it will only grant one. |
|
DARK MATTER (Q): Veigar's highest damage spell which has a shorter cooldown the more stacks he has with his passive. We typically want to be comboing this spell with cage. |
|
EVENT HORIZON (Q): Veigar's cage and CC which makes him into a real champion. Hitting a champion with his cage grants 1 stack. |
|
PRIMORDIAL BURST (Q): Veigar's execute which can deal with both squishies and tankier champions.It can often kill people at ranges they dont expect if you combo it alongside with Electrocute |
#1.
Primordial Burst 6 / 11 / 16 #2. Baleful Strike 1 / 4 / 5 / 7 / 9 #3. Event Horizon 3 / 8 / 10 / 12 / 13 #4. Dark Matter 2 / 14 / 15 / 17 / 18 |
Veigar's R increases his burst and can kill anybody so we want to be maxing that ability first. Second we want to be maxing his ability that makes us be able to trade and stack our passive better which is his Q, . Third we want to be getting his E, which lowers the cooldown as it is your main ability that gets picks and lets you land combos. Lastly we want to be maxing W, because it only increases its damage which is not very useful. |

Doran's ring > Starting Item Playing Veigar we want to be staring Doran's Ring as it gives all the values we need. HP AP and sustain. By buying this item with two Health Potion's you have a great start for Veigar and will most likely be able to sustain until Lost Chapter, or Sorcerer's Shoes. |
Dark Seal > Snowball & Sustain Dark Seal is an item that has an insane stat efficiency for only 350 gold and one that I buy every game. This is due to its increase of healing with Refillable Potion and the snowball potential it has giving 5 ap per stack. With one kill on dark seal you have kill potential on almost every champion in the game. |
Everfrost > CC & Sustain Everfrost is the only mythic you should be going on Veigar as it has great components, as well as solving many issues that you typically encounter. This being the mana issues from Lost Chapter and the root for spells such as Dark Matter. Going for other items such as Luden's Tempest for the magic penetration is just not worth it as the setup potential is just too great from everfrost. |
Sorcerer's shoes > MAGIC PENETRATION This is the option I prefer to go due to the burst/ one shot potential that Veigar has in his kit. This allows you to spike harder in the mid game and snowball off picks. However if they are building magic resist this item becomes less of a factor. Great to buy after Lost Chapter for kill potential, or even as a first item. Ionian Boots of Lucidity > CDR This item giving you 20 ability haste and summoner spell reduction is useful when enemy team is stacking alot of magic resist. Why u may ask? This is because of the fact that you are going to be getting Void Staff faster and the magic penetration does nothing! However, I personally find very little situations where I am actually building lucidities unless we have double ap top side |
Rabadon's Deathcap > CC & Burst 3rd/4th item Rabadon's Deathcap is one of the best items on veigar due to his passive giving him AP. Using this item's passive will grant us ~ 150 ap and upon completion of this item ~500-600 ap. Typically we want to be building this item after boots most games unless you want some safety like Zhonya's Hourglass or have stacks on Dark Seal to buy Mejai's Soulstealer |
Zhonya's hourglass > Defensive 3rd/4th item Zhonya's Hourglass is an item that is a jack of all trades due to giving ability haste and safety with it's active. The active is why I find it crucial to have over Banshee's Veil even if they have more ap than ad. |
Banshee's veil > Defensive FLEX ITEM Banshee's Veil is a great option to look for on Veigar if enemy team has nothing to pop the spell shield. For example if you play against a comp with Ziggs or Xerath you would never be building this item. There are more useful MR options. |
Cosmic Drive > CDR/MS FLEX ITEM Cosmic Drive is an item that I personally think is overrated for the price, and efficiency it brings. With our current build rushing Everfrost into Sorcerer's Shoes and Zhonya's Hourglass we are going to have 28% ability haste which tapers off as you get more CDR. I find it more useful to be building defensive, but if there is 0 risk go for it! |
Dead Man's Plate > Defensive FLEX Dead Man's Plate is one of the items on Veigar that is SUPER good and underrated when they have fed AD picks. The reason behind this is because of the movement speed it provides can give you ~ 500 MS out of combat. This allows for many picks with a lot of safety in combination with still one shotting people. Typically used if they have assassin mid/jg. |
Void Staff > Magic Penetration As simple as it sounds Void Staff is just used when they are stacking MR. Not used in many other situations/any at all. If you plan to go void staff early because of team comp plan to get Ionian Boots of Lucidity. |
Abyssal Mask > MR CLOSE RANGE FLEX One of the MR items that I personally think is better than Banshee's Veil. The reason Abyssal Mask is good is due to the stats it gives. Giving good HP and MR it decreases the kill threats of AP assassins with an increase of 10% AP dmg causing you to one shot anyone still. |
Force Of Nature > MR/MS FLEX Personally I have never tried Force of Nature however in theory this item would be good against champions with lots of range such as Ziggs or Xerath. However it is very uncommon to come across these picks so I think if u need a defensive MR option it is better to run Abyssal Mask |
You do not want to be using Baleful Strike on repeat for CS, rather only if there is an opportunity to get 2 minions in a row. The best opportunity is when you can get a hit on the enemy and one csing the creep. This is because Veigar's Baleful Strike is his main trading tool and you can get abused during the cooldown timer.
You also typically will not be having shove early on Veigar unless you have a beneficial matchup with a ranged support like Senna or Karma. In these cases it actually is not up to you to manage the wave, rather the supports.
You can also just scale on Veigar and Baleful Strike minions on repeat, but that is first of all boring, and second of all not optimizing the champion to its fullest in lane phase. But, you will be able to 1v1 all adcs post 15 mins so it is not a bad strategy to get up to ~mid to high diamond.
