How to win lane as Veigar against Samira · 60.58% win rate over 860 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Veigar | Level 1 is yours because Samira is effectively melee-range and can't answer your Q poke. |
| Level 2 | Veigar | Level 2 stays yours as W Dark Matter adds free harass she can't retaliate against. |
| Level 3 | Veigar | Level 3 is yours with E-W-Q punishing any step toward the wave. |
| Levels 4-5 | Veigar | Levels 4-5 remain yours as poke and AP stacks snowball against her weak ranged game. |
| Level 6 | Samira | Level 6 favours Samira because R Inferno Trigger lifesteals and shreds through a missed cage. |
| First item | Veigar | First item flips back to you since your burst deletes her before she stacks Style or channels R. |
| Two+ items | Veigar | 2+ items is yours because one combo one-shots her and E interrupts her ult and dash engage. |
Levels 1-4 are heavily yours: Samira needs to be in melee to combo and heal, but Q Baleful Strike and W Dark Matter poke her from outside her reach, and W Blade Whirl only blocks projectiles it can't chase you with. Zone her, stack AP, and hold E for her Wild Rush.
