How to win lane as Veigar against Varus · 57.77% win rate over 431 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Varus | Varus's Piercing Arrow massively outranges your level-1 Baleful Strike, so he controls the lane at 1. |
| Level 2 | Varus | At 2 his Blighted Quiver on-hit poke plus range keeps you pinned under tower. |
| Level 3 | Varus | Level 3 Varus can pile W stacks and detonate for real damage you can't trade back. |
| Levels 4-5 | Varus | Through 4-5 he zones your farm and threatens a stacked all-in before your ult exists. |
| Level 6 | Varus | Even at 6 Varus's poke lead and Chain of Corruption engage can still win the fight before your combo lands cleanly. |
| First item | Veigar | With your first AP item, Event Horizon plus R nukes the immobile Varus and flips the lane to you. |
| Two+ items | Veigar | Into two items your burst deletes him while he remains a stationary turret, so you're firmly ahead. |
Levels 1-2 belong to Varus. His Piercing Arrow outranges everything you have and his auto range plus Blighted Quiver on-hit lets him poke you off the wave, so hug the tower, last-hit with Baleful Strike at max range, and never walk into a fully drawn Q.
