| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Diana | No dash or blink means Veigar is already vulnerable to your aggressive early trades. |
| Level 2 | Diana | Your Q-E-Q all-in comes online and he still lacks any mobility to escape it. |
| Level 3 | Diana | Your combo out-damages his poke and he has no gap closer to punish your engage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Diana | You keep denying his farm and forcing bad Event Horizon usage through repeated dive threats. |
| Level 6 | Diana | Moonfall gives you the extra range to land on him even if his cage placement is decent. |
| First item | Diana | A burst item spike lets you force fights before his scaling AP items come online. |
| Two+ items | Diana | Even with Rabadon's online, one bad Event Horizon cast still means an instant, uncontested kill for you. |
Veigar has no dash, no blink, no gap closer of any kind, which makes him one of the easiest champions in the game for you to run down once you hit level 3. His only real defensive tool is Event Horizon, and if he uses it early or misplaces the cage, he's dead to your dive. Punish him hard for any push attempt and don't let him free-farm Dark Matter stacks uncontested.
