Playing as Veigar

  • Use Event Horizon to increase your chances of landing Dark Matter.
  • Veigar is extremely Mana and Cooldown Reduction dependent. Try buying items with these stats in order to increase the effectiveness of your passive and Baleful Strike.
  • Veigar is very fragile. It is valuable to select at least one summoner spell that can be used defensively.

Playing against Veigar

  • Dark Matter deals very high damage, but it can be avoided. Pay attention to the sound and visual indicator to be aware of when and where the spell will land.
  • Event Horizon only stuns units on the edge. If you're inside the spell, you can still move and attack.
  • Veigar's ultimate deals increased damage based on your missing health.
