| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Veigar | Veigar's ranged poke and cage threat punish your melee farming pattern before you have any mobility, so early favors him. |
| Level 2 | Veigar | His Baleful Strike stacks compound the longer the poke-heavy lane goes, keeping the lead in his favor. |
| Level 3 | Veigar | Continued cage zoning and stack damage mean he's still ahead as levels climb toward 6. |
| Levels 4-5 | Veigar | His level 6 Primordial Burst execute is a genuine one-shot threat if you're caged, outweighing your fresh Riftwalk. |
| Level 6 | Veigar | The cage-burst combo remains lethal at this exact power spike, so it still favors him. |
| First item | Kassadin | Once you have Riftwalk stacks and boots you can dodge his stationary combo and punish him for missing, tipping this in your favor. |
| Two+ items | Kassadin | Full build your blink mobility versus his zero escape options is a decisive scaling advantage, so late favors you. |
Veigar's cage-into-burst combo threatens to kill you outright the moment you misstep, and his ranged Baleful Strike stacks free poke onto every wave you try to farm, so you're forced into a passive, ability-starved early lane with no answer besides dodging skillshots.
