Read from Qiyana's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Veigar.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Qiyana | Level 1 yours — Veigar has only poke and no stun to answer your pressure. |
| Level 2 | Qiyana | Level 2 still favors you; he can't punish trades without Event Horizon. |
| Level 3 | Qiyana | Level 3 you assemble WEQ and can dodge his cage to all-in a dashless mage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Qiyana | Levels 4-5 your kill threat holds every time his Event Horizon is down. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 you out-burst him against a wall as long as you avoid the cage. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item lets you delete him inside a single stun-cooldown window. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Two-plus items you still win by denying stacks and engaging his cage timer. |
Levels 1-2 you pressure freely — Veigar has only Baleful Strike poke and no stun yet, so trade into him and deny his early stacks with your Royal Privilege passive on the first hit. He can't punish your aggression before Event Horizon exists. Track Veigar Event Horizon (E): 20s at rank 1 and his only stun — only the cage EDGE stuns; hold near the center or leave before it forms, never dash into the wall. Every one of those 20 seconds it is down is your window.
