How to play a VEIGAR CARRY & VEX TANK MAGE COMP?
This composition centers around leveraging the power of Mages, with a particular emphasis on achieving 3-star upgrades for Veigar and Vex.
3-Star Veigar as the AP Carry:
Veigar becomes an incredibly potent source of magic damage when upgraded to 3-star. His abilities can deal massive damage to enemy teams, making him the primary damage dealer in this composition. Equipping Veigar with the right AP items, such as Rabadon's Deathcap, Archangel's Staff, and Blue Buff, will maximize his damage output and help you dominate the battlefield. 3-Star Vex as the Main Tank:
Vex serves as the backbone of your team's defense. As a 3-star unit, Vex provides exceptional tankiness and utility. Her abilities can shield herself and disrupt enemies, creating opportunities for your backline to dish out damage. Items like Warmog's Armor, Bramble Vest, and Gargoyle Stoneplate can make Vex nearly indestructible, allowing her to soak up damage and protect your more fragile damage dealers.
Vex's ability makes her an ubelievable tank choice!!: Vex gains a Shield for 4 seconds, increased by 5% for each enemy targeting Vex. When it expires, deal magic damage to enemies within 2 hexes.
By focusing on these two champions, this composition ensures a balanced approach with a strong frontline and devastating backline damage, making it a formidable strategy in the game.

When to Make the Mage Composition
- Mage Augments:
Opt for this composition if you come across Mage-specific augments, as they significantly enhance the effectiveness of Mage champions by increasing their ability power and spell usage. These augments can turn a good Mage setup into an unstoppable force.
- Unique Veigar/Vex Player:
If you find yourself as the sole Veigar or Vex player in your lobby, it’s a strong signal to commit to the Mage composition. This lack of competition means you'll have an easier time gathering and upgrading these critical champions to higher star levels, which can be crucial for your late-game success.
- Abundance of AP Item Components:
Consider this comp if your early item drops include many ability power (AP) components, such as Tears of the Goddess and Needlessly Large Rods. These items are essential for maximizing the damage output of your Mage champions, making them much more formidable.
How to Play the Mage Composition
Level 7 Slow Roll Strategy -
Understanding the Slow Roll:
This strategy involves accumulating and maintaining a gold count above 50 while slowly rolling for champions at level 7. The goal is to secure 3-star versions of key 3-cost Mage champions, which are typically Veigar and Vex in this comp. Execution Steps:
- Early Game (Levels 1-6):
Focus on building a strong early game board to maintain your health. Pick up relevant Mage champions and hold onto them. Aim to build a strong economy by prioritizing interest gold, ensuring you have at least 50 gold by the time you reach level 7. Mid Game (Level 7):
Once you hit level 7, start the slow roll process. Roll down excess gold (keeping above 50) each turn to find and upgrade your key Mage champions. Prioritize upgrading Veigar and Vex to 3-star. Other important 3-cost champions can also be considered depending on your exact setup and available units.
- Itemization:
Equip your Mage champions with the best AP items you have collected. Items like Rabadon's Deathcap, Archangel's Staff, and Blue Buff are particularly strong on Veigar. Secondary items can go to other Mages or synergistic champions to enhance overall team power.
- Late Game (Beyond Level 7):
Once you have secured your key 3-star champions, focus on leveling up to 8 or 9 to round out your team with powerful 4-cost and 5-cost units that complement your Mages. Continuously adapt your team composition and positioning to counter your opponents. By following this strategy, you'll leverage the strengths of your Mage champions and items, ensuring a powerful and competitive team composition.
