Veigar Mid Lane Build Guides, Runes, Items, and Abilities

Veigar, the Tiny Master of Evil, is a mid-lane mage in League of Legends who embodies limitless power through his ability to scale infinitely. Known for his ability to amass Ability Power (AP) with Baleful Strike and punish enemies with devastating bursts of magic, Veigar excels in both controlling team fights and eliminating key targets. His Event Horizon provides unmatched crowd control potential, while his ultimate, Primordial Burst, can obliterate even the tankiest opponents. Veigar is a perfect pick for players who enjoy scaling into a late-game powerhouse and turning the tide of battle with a single, well-timed combo.

1. Strengths

• Infinite scaling on his Passive makes him a late-game monster. He can quite easily start one-shotting people once he manages to get his first item.
• Extremely powerful when fighting in closed spaces as he can easily land his Baleful Strike Q and Dark Matter W on multiple targets while crowd controlling them with his Event Horizon E.
• Very high gank set-up potential with his Event Horizon E. This can allow him to call his Jungler to gank his lane and help him get an early lead, which will be quite devastating for the enemy team.

2. Weaknesses

• Very immobile and is extremely vulnerable to crowd control. He has a weak early game as well, so he can easily be abused and killed with a few ganks.
• His Event Horizon E is on a really long cooldown, and it is his only form of self-peel. Once it is down, he can be easily all-in’d and killed with crowd control.
• He will take a lot of time to come online if he happens to get killed a few times during the early game. He isn’t going to be very effective if the game goes on for too long so try to shut him down early and end the game quickly.

• Do not use your Event Horizon E unless you are going for a kill or to set up a gank. It costs a lot of mana and is main source of escaping.
• Look to farm with your Baleful Strike Q to gain stacks and increase your AP. Line up multiple minions for extra damage.
• Use your Primordial Burst R on squishy targets to execute them at the start of the fight and make it 5v4.

• E + W + Q + AA: Start with E, then W followed by a Q and finish with an AA
• W + Q + AA: Start with W and follow with a Q and AA
• E + W + Q + R: Start with E and follow up with W, Q then R
• Q + FLASH + R: Start with Q then instantly Flash and R
• W + Q + R + FLASH: Start with W, then Q, then R and Flash.
• E + W + Q + AA + R + AA: Start with E, then W then Q, AA, R then finish off with a second AA

1. Early game

• Focus on farming and getting as much gold and XP as possible. You need time and gold before you’re able to come online and deal damage.
• Your champion is incredibly weak in the early game. Focus on farming and avoid fighting with the enemy until you’ve got an item behind you.
• After your bot lane has moved to the mid lane, rotate to the bot side of the map or somewhere else on the map so you can continue to farm and gain XP. Do not fight anyone unless you have an advantage over them. Continue to get XP and gold.

2. Mid game

• At this stage of the game, you want to put yourself in a side lane and focus on getting stacks so you have a stronger late game.
• In the later parts of the mid-game and when the enemy starts to group, make sure you follow suit and start to group with your team.
• Look for picks with your Event Horizon E. If you can catch someone out during the mid game with it, your team should be able to kill them pretty quickly. Once you’ve killed someone, make the call for Drake or Baron.

3. Late game

• Stick with your team in the late game. Do not split up or walk away from them otherwise the enemy may try to pick you off or initiate a 4v5 fight when you’re away from your team.
• Look for a pick with your Event Horizon E to gain the numbers advantage. Then use your Ultimate Primordial Burst R to take them down quickly before looking to siege or take a nearby objective.
• At this stage of the game, you should have tons of stacks and be really strong. If you’re ahead, use your Ultimate Primordial Burst R to stat check the squishiest enemy champion to take them out of the fight.

Veigar proves that size doesn’t matter when it comes to commanding the battlefield. His infinite scaling potential and game-changing crowd control make him a formidable threat in any match. While his early game may require patience and precise positioning, mastering Veigar's kit allows players to dominate the mid to late game with overwhelming magic damage. Whether you’re caging your foes or unleashing devastating bursts, Veigar’s power grows as the game progresses, making him an ever-present threat on the Rift. Embrace the darkness, and let the Tiny Master of Evil showcase his limitless potential.
