| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Samira | Veigar has no early auto damage, so you win the level-1 shove and trade. |
| Level 2 | Samira | At level 2 you out-DPS a mage with only a slow single-target Q. |
| Level 3 | Samira | Level 3 gives you the dashes to dodge Dark Matter and punish his poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Samira | Through 4-5 you punish every Event-Horizon-down window for free stacks. |
| Level 6 | Samira | Your level-6 R kills him after he burns Event Horizon, and he has no other peel. |
| First item | Samira | On one item your burst beats a Veigar who can't one-shot yet. |
| Two+ items | Samira | At two-plus items his lack of steroids or escape means your dive still kills him if you avoid the cage edge. |
Veigar has no early auto DPS and only a slow single-target Q, so you freely trade and shove: weave behind minions to dodge Baleful Strike, W-dash away from Dark Matter, and take CS uncontested while denying his stack farming.
