Who Wins
- You win trades pre-6 through superior range and wave control with Q and E, but Veigar can match your poke if he lands Q consistently.
- Post-6 you have kill pressure with R combo, but Veigar's burst potential with R becomes extremely dangerous if you're low on health.
How to Trade
- You want to E the wave to push and poke simultaneously, then follow up with Q when Veigar steps up to farm or trade.
- Avoid extended trades since Veigar's Q cooldown becomes shorter than your abilities, and always maintain distance to avoid his E stun setup.
Wave Control
- You should hard push waves with E to create roam timers and deny Veigar easy farming, resetting when your mana gets low.
- Keeping waves pushed forces Veigar to use abilities on minions rather than stacking Q, limiting his scaling potential.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You must avoid getting caught in Veigar's E cage during trades or all-ins, as it guarantees his full combo and potential death.
- Don't underestimate his R damage when you're below 50% health, even if you have R available for lockdown.
