| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | No-stack Veigar can't punish your level 1 poke. |
| Level 2 | Ziggs | Level 2 you still out-range and out-trade him easily. |
| Level 3 | Ziggs | At 3 your combo shoves and starves his Baleful Strike farm. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | Level 4-5 you keep range control before his cage arrives. |
| Level 6 | Ziggs | Level 5 you still dictate; he lacks the R burst yet. |
| First item | Veigar | His level 6 Event Horizon plus Primordial Burst can one-shot you. |
| Two+ items | Ziggs | Late your mobility and poke beat his squishy body if he misses cage. |
Veigar is helpless at 1-2 with no cage and no stacks, so bully him: land Short Fuse pokes and Q every time he walks up for a last-hit, and shove the wave to deny his Baleful Strike farm and slow his whole scaling curve.
