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 Twitch

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Get out of his cloud fast

    Get out of the Venom Cask (W) cloud fast: it slows you and adds a Deadly Venom stack every second, which powers up his Contaminate (E).

  2. Ward against his ambush

    Ward your brushes and place a Control Ward on his paths: it reveals camouflaged enemies, and Ambush (Q) lets him reach you unseen.

  3. Focus him as soon as he appears

    As soon as he comes out of the Ambush (Q) camouflage, focus him with your allies: he's fragile and has no dash to escape.

  4. Leave his range during his ult

    During Spray and Pray (R), get out of his extended range until the effect ends: his bolts pierce every enemy, so hiding behind an ally won't protect you.
