Playing as Veigar

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Last-hit with Baleful Strike

    Last-hit minions with Baleful Strike (Q): each kill with this spell gives you a Phenomenal Evil stack, which is power for the whole game, and large minions give more.

  2. Make them cross the edge of your cage

    Place Event Horizon (E) so your target is on the edge or has to cross it: only the cage's perimeter stuns, and it only lasts 3 seconds.

  3. Cage first, Dark Matter second

    Stun first with Event Horizon (E), then cast Dark Matter (W): a stunned target can't dodge it.

  4. Finish with your ult

    Cast Primordial Burst (R) last, after your other spells: its damage rises with the target's missing health and peaks below 33%.

Playing against Aurelion Sol

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Stay behind your minions: Breath of Light (Q) hits the first enemy in its path, and only the seconds spent on a champion give him Stardust.

  2. Play hard early

    Play hard early and don't let the game drag on: with Cosmic Creator (passive), each of Aurelion Sol's abilities grows permanently stronger through Stardust.

  3. Get out of the black hole fast

    Leave Singularity (E) quickly: it pulls you toward its center, where it executes enemies below a health threshold, and each second inside gives him Stardust.
