Read from Veigar's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Cassiopeia.
This is Veigar's own plan; across 1,049 pooled games the lane is leaning Veigar.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Cassiopeia | Level 1 favors Cassiopeia: her Q poke out-trades a comboless Veigar. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays Cass's as her poison zoning denies your farm. |
| Level 3 | Cassiopeia | Level 3 is Cass's with W Miasma grounding and sustained poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Cassiopeia | Levels 4-5 remain Cass-favored on ramping DPS and lane control. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 tilts Cass hard: her R face-stun punishes Veigar's immobility. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is still Cass's as her poison out-DPSes an under-stacked Veigar. |
| Two+ items | Veigar | At 2+ items Veigar finally wins — stacked AP combo one-shots Cass on a landed E. |
Levels 1-2 are Cassiopeia's — her Q poke and building poison out-trade you while you have no answer, so you soak XP, last-hit carefully with Q and stay out of Miasma range. Track Cassiopeia Miasma: matchup-defining — 24s at rank 1 (16s max); it grounds and slows, so nothing repositions you through it. Commit only on its downtime. Cassiopeia dominates this window: her Q Noxious Blast and W Miasma poison zone let her chunk you and deny your Q last-hits while she out-sustains, so hug the wave and never walk through her Miasma puddle.
