Veigar is a late-game control mage with infinite AP scaling potential through his passive ability. His signature Event Horizon (E) provides exceptional area control, though he struggles in the early game.

Abilities Priority:

  1. Q - Baleful Strike
  2. E - Event Horizon
  3. W - Dark Matter

Key Build Path:

  • Early Game: Focus on Q stacking and safe farming
  • Mid Game: Prioritize ability haste and health
  • Late Game: Build magic penetration and AP items

Passive Stacking Tips:

  • Gain AP when hitting champions with abilities
  • Earn 5 AP for kills and assists
  • Get stacks when enemies are stunned by cage
  • Collect assists (and stacks) when enemies die within the cage
  • Hit W on melee minions first, then Q for last hits

Lane Strategy:

  1. Play defensively early game
  2. Stack Q whenever possible without risking trades
  3. Use cage for protection and zone control
  4. Coordinate ganks with jungler using cage
  5. Scale into late game through passive stacking
