Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades through superior sustain and all-in potential once you land W to pull Veigar into melee range.
- Post-6 becomes more complex as Veigar's R can execute you before your passive revive triggers, but your R engage gives you better teamfight setup.
How to Trade
- Use W to pull Veigar in, then Q for the double strike and healing, followed by E dash for gap close and additional damage.
- Focus on extended trades where your Determination stacks and Q healing give you the advantage over his burst patterns.
Wave Control
- Push early levels to build Determination stacks on minions while Veigar is weak, then look for slow pushes to create dive opportunities.
- Avoid letting him freeze as his range advantage becomes oppressive when you can't engage.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't engage without landing W first as Veigar can simply kite you with his range and E cage.
- Never all-in at low health post-6 without considering his R execute threshold, even with your passive revive available.
