Read from Talon's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Veigar.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Talon | Level 1 is Talon's: Veigar is immobile with only one defensive spell to contest you. |
| Level 2 | Talon | Level 2 is Talon's: your W+Q trade arrives before he has cage uptime or stacks. |
| Level 3 | Talon | Level 3 is Talon's: WQ plus bleed folds his low health on any cage-down window. |
| Levels 4-5 | Talon | Levels 4-5 are Talon's: long Event Horizon cooldowns hand you repeated free all-ins. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6: Shadow Assault out-bursts his combo if you hold E for the cage. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item: lethality one-shots him through any AP total. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | 2+ items stay Talon's if you kept killing — you deny the stacks that would flip it. |
Veigar is immobile and squishy with a single defensive spell, so lanes 1-2 are yours. Poke with Rake as he tries to farm and stack, and note his Event Horizon cooldown — the long gaps between casts are open all-in windows. Track Event Horizon: 20s at rank 1 — only the cage EDGE stuns; hold near the center or leave before it forms, never dash into the wall. Every downtime is a free all-in.
