Read from Twitch's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Veigar.
This is Twitch's own plan; across 3,198 pooled games the lane is leaning Twitch.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Twitch | Level 1 is yours because venom chip and autos punish his walk-up to farm. |
| Level 2 | Twitch | Level 2 stays yours as your poke beats his single-Q stacking before combos online. |
| Level 3 | Veigar | Level 3 favours Veigar because maxed Dark Matter plus Baleful Strike out-ranges and out-bursts your stacking window. |
| Levels 4-5 | Twitch | Levels 4-5 swing back to you as Deadly Venom stacks let Expunge out-trade his cooldowns. |
| Level 6 | Twitch | Level 6 is yours since a stealth flank opens past his single-target cage-reliant ult. |
| First item | Twitch | First item favours you because your Terminus/Runaan's burst beats his delayed combo timing. |
| Two+ items | Twitch | Two-plus items stays yours as your spread DPS shreds his low-armor body when you avoid the cage. |
At Levels 1-2 you can chip Veigar with venom stacks and autos since he has to step up to secure Baleful Strike last-hits, and missing a Q denies his stack; play the brush and make his farm awkward before his combo comes online. He has to step up to secure his executes, so chip him with autos and stacks each time and deny the scaling. Venom Cask answers his walk-up. Stay outside the cage radius entirely, and take the plate on the crash rather than committing beside a mage who only needs one stun.
