| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Zoe | Zoe out-ranges Veigar's Q and punishes his immobile early farm. |
| Level 2 | Zoe | Level 2 E-Q poke keeps chunking a Veigar who can't answer back. |
| Level 3 | Zoe | At 3 your full combo dominates before his stacks or cage matter. |
| Levels 4-5 | Zoe | Through 4-5 you still starve his AP and control every trade. |
| Level 6 | Zoe | Even at 6 your poke lead holds if you stay outside cage range. |
| First item | Veigar | First-item Veigar plus Event Horizon flips the all-in into his kill. |
| Two+ items | Veigar | Uncapped AP scaling and his execute out-damage you late. |
You start firmly ahead: Veigar is immobile and weak before stacks, so your E bubble into Paddle Star chunks him every time he reaches for a Baleful Strike last-hit.
