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 Zeri

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Aim every Burst Fire

    Aim each Burst Fire (Q): it's your main attack, reaching 700 range and hitting the first enemy in its line.

  2. Fire your laser at a wall

    Aim Ultrashock Laser (W) at a wall: the pulse becomes an area laser that slows and critically strikes champions.

  3. Vault over walls

    Aim Spark Surge (E) at a wall: you vault over it, much farther than with the dash alone, and your Burst Fire pierces for a few seconds afterward.

  4. Hit a champion, then back off

    Cast Lightning Crash (R) near a champion: hitting them gives you attack speed and move speed, and each hit on a champion extends the effect. Attack while backing off.

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%.
