Read from Ashe's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Veigar.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ashe | You outrange an immobile Veigar at level 1 and slow every farming step. |
| Level 2 | Ashe | At 2 Volley plus Frost Shot lets you trade freely while he can only walk up. |
| Level 3 | Ashe | By 3 your poke and slow keep a stationary mage permanently on the back foot. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ashe | Levels 4-5 you space his Dark Matter easily and deny cage angles. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 his Event Horizon plus Primordial Burst can kill a low target, making it skill/even. |
| First item | Ashe | Your first item restores sustained DPS that outranges his burst setup. |
| Two+ items | Ashe | Two items in a slowed Veigar can't land his combo before your arrows chip him out. |
Levels 1-2 you outrange and out-trade an immobile mage; Volley plus slow punishes every step he takes to farm with Baleful Strike. Baleful Strike stacks only on the minions he executes, so contesting the wave costs him the scaling he is here for. Event Horizon is a 20-second cooldown at rank 1 and the cage edge is the whole danger, so approach from the side you can walk back out of. Trade on the beat after it goes down.
