Ahri vs Veigar

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Ahri's early lane pressure and mobility to deny Veigar free farm and prevent him from stacking safely.
Prioritize short trades and wave control to maintain lane priority and create roam opportunities before Veigar's scaling spikes.

Trading pattern

Poke with (Q) and proc (W) to chip Veigar while respecting his (E) cooldown.
Engage with (E) only when Veigar commits forward or (E) is down, then disengage unless (R) allows safe extension.
Use short trades around (Q) return damage and (W) procs, avoiding prolonged fights where Veigar can retaliate.

Danger windows

Avoid predictable movement and stepping into (E) cage range when it is available.
Play cautiously when (R) is on cooldown or after missing (E), as Veigar can punish with burst.
Be wary if Veigar pushes the wave too far; do not overextend without (R) mobility to escape.

Early game

Push the wave early and use (Q) and (W) to disrupt Veigar's stacking before level 6.
Hold (E) to punish Veigar's forward movement or when his (E) cage is on cooldown.
Avoid extended trades without (R) or after missing (E) to prevent Veigar's burst punish.

Power spikes

Respect Veigar's level 6 (R) burst and (E) stun by avoiding predictable movement and holding key defensive tools.
Use Ahri's level 6 (R) to increase pick potential, safety, and extend trades or roams.
After first mage item, pressure waves and trades more confidently while tracking Veigar's main defensive cooldowns.

Win conditions

Deny Veigar free farm by controlling wave tempo and forcing short trades with (E) picks.
Use (R) to create roam pressure or river control after safely pushing waves.
Punish Veigar's lack of mobility and (E) cooldown by forcing picks and snowballing leads before he scales.
