Abilities

As i said from the start of the guide, this will be a quick guide, so lets do it short and sweet:

Equilbrium: This passive makes your early high cost of mana to be much less bad, works well with Doran's Ring.
Baleful Strick: Your main farming tool, last hit with this as much you can, it gives you MORE AP! if you can't last hit with this, go work on it.
Dark Matter: This spell basicly deals an aoe area of huge damage after 1.2 sec. works well with your e
Event Horizon: One of the most importent parts of THE COMBO also, its your only escape tactic, use it wisly!
Primordial Burst: Deals lots of damage based on your ap and..........80% OF THE TARGET AP! use this to nuke mages and adc if you fed.

What to max first?

I know there is some veigar players who will ask me now: "Why you max e before w?" and stuff like this so i will explane: Max your q first for the easier ap farm, then your e for ganks and easier combos, and w in the end, trust me, it will have great damage even when its not maxed.

Spells

TAKE IT!

Flash: This spell has just too much uses, Suprise attacks, escaping over walls, and ect, take it every time.
Ignite: Take it, this is a part of your combo.

Uhhhhh... fine...
Ghost: Meh, not so good as flash on veigar, take it only if you under level 12.
Heal: Take it only if you new to Squishy champions.
Teleport: It can be usefull for some ganks and and escape tactic, but it will ruin your early game if you will take it on Ignite.

Dear.God.WHY?!
Clarity: Your passive and Doran's Ring will give you the mana you need in early game.
Smite: You ARE NOT jungler. if you going to play veigar as jungler, just get up, AND GET OUT FROM THIS GUIDE!

THE NUKE

The most famous nuker needs to have a nuke after all no? to use Veigar's nuke, you need to use: E, W, DFG, Q and R. This video will show you how to use the nuke (this video isn't mine!) press on me! As you can see, you stun your enemy, then Dark Matter, then Deathfire Grasp, then Baleful Strike and in the end Primordial Burst in like 1 sec. you NEED to have fast fingers. If you don't have fast fingers, don't play Veigar.

Lane Counters

This is the biggest part of this guide, ill give you some tips against champions in mid:

Aatrox: Very Hard Oh no... NOT HIM! he has a LOT of sustain because of his Blood Thirst, A gap closer what knock you up ( Dark Flight) and, he can return alive after you nuked him and then what? you will be without your combo and he will destroy you. Ask for jungler's help to survive and just farm your q.

Ahri: Easy-Medium She isn't a big challenge, just evade her Charm
and nuke her when you reach 6, it will be tricky because of her Spirit Rush but you can do fine.

Anivia: Hard Like aatrox, she can return alive from your nuke, she has hevey damage with her ult e combo. Ask for jungler's help to knock her to her Rebirth And destroy her there.

Akali: medium Her Shadow Dance is dangerous, try to catch her off-guard and nuke her. If she trying to dive you with her ult, just stun and nuke.

Annie: medium Stun her before she stun you, she can burst you down like you can do to her. Stun her and burst her down.

Brand: Easy-medium Not much to say here: evade his skills in early game and nuke the life out of him in 6.

Cassiopeia: medium-hard Her early game poke is annoying, try to evade all her spells, on 6, your stun has a little more range then her ult, use it to NUKE THE LIFE OUT OF THIS SNAKE!

Cho'Gath: Hard He will knock you up, he will silence you, he will sustain all of your damage, and he will stack hp with this Feast. play passivly and ask for jungler's help. try to nuke him on 6 before he Feast something.

Corki: Medium Yes, Corki mid, its rare, but existing. pre 6 it will be easy to evade his Phosphorus Bomb, but dont get too much close, his Gatling Gun can hurt. after 6 things starts to get tricky because he can spamm Missile Barrage on you. be carfull!

Diana: Easy-medium Like Akali, pre-6 she will try to farm and after 6 she will become a monster, play as you play against Akali but it will be trickier, evade her Crescent Strike, it hurt, and she will use her combo on you if its hits. also, she a bit tankier then other mid laners.

Elise: Medium She can and she will poke you in early game, try to not get in long trades with her because her Spider Form can survive long trades. put a point in your stun instad on your q for one level so you can stun her for longer in level 6, since she can Rappel ALL OF YOUR NUKE!

Evelynn: Very Easy Just stun and dark matter her on 6 to make her to burn her Agony's Embrace since she will think your going to nuke her, after this, stun her again and nuke. take in mind her Shadow Walk makes her in stealth unliss if she use spells, or you are getting close to her.

Ezreal: Easy Not much to say here, get early boots to evade his skillshots, burn his Arcane Shift and nuke him.

Fiddlesticks: Easy Play passivly in early game and in 6 when he Terrify Bountiful Harvest you (if he will) stun him since he stuck in place and nuke.

Fizz: Very Hard This slippery Fizz... He can Playful/Trickster your burst, burst you himself, AND HE CAN CALL YOU BORING! Try to bait his Playful/Trickster and nuke, but it will be HARD.

Galio: Hard He WILL buy magic resist, so you cant burst him down, evade his Resolute Smite. at 6, stay away from him, his Idol of Durand + his jungler = YOU ARE SCROWED.

Gragas: Easy Meh, just carfull from his Barrel Roll and nuke him when you get Deathfire Grasp.

Heimerdinger: This is just to much easy you can think this is a joke He will give you free farm with his H-28G Evolution Turret, he is slow so you can stun him VERY easily and, he will get ap, means more damage for your ult, if you losing to this guy without his jungler's help, just quit playing Veigar.

Janna: Easy Evade her Howling Gale and nuke her on 6.

Jayce: Hard EVADE HIS Shock Blast! this thing can take like 30% of your hp, try to ask for jungler's help to burst him on 6.

Karma: Medium Evade her spells and nuke her on 6 when her shield is on cooldown.

Kassadin (or DAMMYOUDIN): TOO MUCH STRONG!: LANE SWITCH! JUST DO IT! if you can't lane switch, ask for early babysit because he is weaker before he gets his Riftwalk.

Katarina: Medium Save your stun untill she Shunpo you, stun her and nuke.

Kayle: Very Hard She can ult or your combo, she hs strong burst, and she can heal. Ask for jungler's help to bait her ult, then nuke.
