Playing as Veigar
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- Cage first, Dark Matter second
Stun first with Event Horizon (E), then cast Dark Matter (W): a stunned target can't dodge it.
- 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 Yunara
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Dodge her prayer bead
Dodge Arc of Judgment (W): the bead slows you, then damages you every second, and it reaches 1150.
- Short trades
Take short trades: each Yunara auto charges Cultivation of Spirit (Q), which then gives her attack speed and bonus damage.
- Engage outside her Transcendent State
If you can engage, go in while Transcend One's Self (R) is on cooldown: outside her Transcendent State, she has no dash, only the speed of Kanmei's Steps (E).
- Spread out while her Q is active
When Cultivation of Spirit (Q) is active, spread out from your allies: her autos then spread to nearby enemies.
