| Level 6 | Caitlyn | Ace in the Hole picks a low, stationary Veigar at level six. |
| First item | Caitlyn | Caitlyn's range keeps her safe as long as she dodges the cage edges. |

As a bot-lane mage Veigar out-ranges some ADCs, but Caitlyn's game-leading auto range plus Headshot lets her poke him whenever he steps up to farm-stack with Baleful Strike. He is squishy and completely immobile, so Caitlyn threatens constant trades and traps. She should punish every Q he uses on minions by stepping up for a Headshot exchange.
