| Level 3 | Veigar | Level 3 your E turns his step-ups into all-in threats he can't answer. |
| Levels 4-5 | Veigar | Levels 4-5 your poke edge holds against a blink-reliant Ezreal. |
| Level 6 | Veigar | Your level 6 R is a spike Ezreal cannot match once your cage lands. |

You go even-or-better against Ezreal from the start. Baleful Strike trades with Mystic Shot, but Ezreal carries no early kill threat, so your cage tilts every step-up in your favor. Farm at range, hover Event Horizon to punish his CS approaches, and keep stacking Q — he can't stop your scaling and can't burst you back.
