How to win lane as Neeko against Veigar · 50.41% win rate over 121 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Neeko | You freely out-trade Veigar at level 1 since Baleful Strike is his only tool. |
| Level 2 | Neeko | Level 2 stays yours as Veigar has no early combo and you deny his scaling farm. |
| Level 3 | Neeko | Your E-Q burst kills a stackless, immobile Veigar in the level 3-5 window. |
| Levels 4-5 | Neeko | Levels 4-5 remain your kill window before his AP stacks come online. |
| Level 6 | Neeko | Your R all-in kills Veigar if you sidestep Event Horizon's outer ring first. |
| First item | Neeko | One-item Neeko keeps shoving to starve stacks and dives an immobile Veigar. |
| Two+ items | Neeko | You stay ahead late by dodging the cage with W/clone and flanking his backline immobility. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: Veigar is one of the weakest early laners in the game, his Q Baleful Strike is his only tool and you can trade on him freely with E-Q while denying the last-hits that fuel his scaling. Shove and set up your jungler.
