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 Vayne

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't fight with your back to a wall

    Don't stand with your back to a wall against her: Condemn (E) knocks you back, and if you hit terrain, you're stunned.

  2. Short, repeated trades

    Take short, repeated trades: she's fragile, and on the third consecutive hit on you, Silver Bolts (W) adds true damage based on your max health.

  3. Don't feed her kills during her ult

    During Final Hour (R), back off rather than risk your life: each champion she kills after damaging them extends the effect.
