Read from Cassiopeia's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Veigar.
This is Cassiopeia's own plan; across 1,049 pooled games the lane is leaning Veigar.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Cassiopeia | Cassiopeia's poke and wave control dominate Veigar's short-range, telegraphed early kit |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Cassiopeia keeps winning trades and denying CS as his own scaling options remain purely passive |
| Level 3 | Cassiopeia | Cassiopeia's mobility and range let her keep punishing him with no comparable answer from his kit |
| Levels 4-5 | Cassiopeia | Cassiopeia holds full lane control heading into 6 with a stun that outclasses his cage setup |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Cassiopeia's Petrifying Gaze denies his Event Horizon combo attempts and wins the direct fight |
| First item | Even / skill | Cassiopeia's DoT and execute damage overwhelm his burst potential once she has any AP item |
| Two+ items | Veigar | Full stacks and a 650-range Primordial Burst kill you outright the one time Event Horizon lands |
Veigar has almost no way to punish your poke since Baleful Strike is short-range and Dark Matter is heavily telegraphed, so you should be freely trading Noxious Blast into him on every wave while denying his CS with Miasma zoning. He wants a passive lane where he just stacks AP safely, so keep applying pressure and never let him sit comfortably under turret.
