vs Sona — MID

vs Sona — rare mid pick. Easy burst target. Combo windows are wide-open.

EARLY · 1-6
Laning phase

Veigar mid lane is burst-combo trade. Start Doran's Ring + 2 pots. Push wave with Q for first 2 levels — force enemy under tower and deny CS.

Level 2 spike: Q + W or Q + E combo can chunk 30%+ HP. Track jungler — burst mages die to ganks before Flash. Ward river at 2:30.

MID · 7-13
Roam & trade

Luden's Companion + Sorcerer's Shoes is your spike. Veigar bursts squishies from 600+ range. Roam side lanes post-6 — your R closes long-range pickoff windows.

Shadowflame 2nd item for magic pen on shielded targets. Zhonya's 3rd vs dive comp. Track Flash CDs — Flash + R is the k...

LATE · 14+
Teamfights

Backline AP burst. Stand mid-line at 700+ range. Combo priority targets (ADC/mid). Rabadon's Deathcap 4th-5th item = 35% AP increase.

Void Staff vs MR stacking. Zhonya's bait combos with full burst. Avoid getting caught alone — squishy + no escape = dead.
