Read from Vex's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Veigar.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | You out-range Veigar's short early poke and deny his stacks risk-free. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Charged Q pressures his last-hits while you dodge Dark Matter with ease. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | At 3 your all-in beats his immobile kit as long as you avoid the cage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 you keep poking his stacks and force trades when Event Horizon is down. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Shadow Surge hands you a gap-close and fear he has no answer to at 6. |
| First item | Even / skill | One item lets you burst him faster than his scaling if you respect the cage. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late your R-and-fear pick angles beat his stationary cage as long as you never facecheck it. |
Levels 1-2 you out-range his short Baleful Strike; poke it down, strafe his Dark Matter delay, and deny stacks without stepping near his cage. Track Event Horizon is 20s at rank 1, 14s at max — only the cage EDGE stuns; hold near the center or leave before it forms, and never dash into the wall. Veigar is immobile and low-range early, so your charged Q out-pokes his Baleful Strike (Q) and denies his stacks. Dodge his Dark Matter (W) by strafing during the delay, and never step into the middle of his Event Horizon (E) cage.
