Veigar's abilities

Passive, spells and ultimate

Phenomenal Evil Power (P)

Veigar is the greatest Evil to ever strike at the hearts of Runeterra - and he's only getting bigger! Striking an enemy Champion with a spell or scoring a takedown grants Veigar permanently increased Ability Power.

Playing as Tristana

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Bomb, then Rapid Fire

    Plant Explosive Charge (E), then activate Rapid Fire (Q): the attack speed helps you land the 4 hits that make it explode right away, at full power.

  2. Keep them at a distance

    Hit from range and back off as soon as they come close: Draw a Bead (passive) increases your attack range with each level.

  3. Chain your jumps

    Chain your jumps in teamfights: Rocket Jump (W) resets right away on a champion takedown, or when Explosive Charge (E) explodes at max stacks on a champion.

  4. Knock back the assassin with your ult

    Save Buster Shot (R) for the assassin who jumps on you: the cannonball knocks back your target and nearby enemies, and stuns them.

Playing against Veigar

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay in the center of his cage

    If Event Horizon (E) lands around you, stay inside: only the edge stuns, and the cage disappears after 3 seconds.

  2. Dodge his Dark Matter

    Get out of the Dark Matter (W) zone as soon as the spell shows: it hurts a lot, but falls from the sky with a delay.

  3. Don't let him grow

    Dodge his spells and deny him kills: with Phenomenal Evil Power (passive), each spell that hits a champion and each takedown gives him power.

  4. Respect his level 6

    Once he hits level 6, don't stay in his range at low health: Primordial Burst (R) deals more damage based on your missing health, peaking below 33%.
