Read from Veigar's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Senna.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Senna | Level 1 favours Senna because her Q out-ranges and out-heals your early poke. |
| Level 2 | Senna | Level 2 stays Senna's as her long autos and soul stacking harass you off farm. |
| Level 3 | Senna | Level 3 is Senna's since stepping up to trade means eating her poke plus her support's. |
| Levels 4-5 | Senna | Levels 4-5 remain Senna's as she scales range and crit off souls faster than you can contest. |
| Level 6 | Veigar | Level 6 flips to you because R Primordial Burst plus E deletes her paper health bar. |
| First item | Veigar | First item is yours since a clean cage guarantees a W-Q-R kill on an escape-less Senna. |
| Two+ items | Veigar | 2+ items is yours because one combo one-shots her and E zones her long-range poke role. |
Levels 1-4 belong to Senna: her Q Piercing Darkness pokes and heals from a range you can't match, and her long autos plus soul stacking let her harass you off CS while she scales for free. You can't step up to trade without eating her poke and her support's, so play safe, dodge the Q line, and just survive to 6. Her reach and her heal beat your poke, so stop trading and farm executes behind your own minions. Let the contested minions go. Hover the cage for the melee walk-up she has to make for a soul, since that is the only moment she is inside your range at all.
