Corki vs Veigar

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on punishing Veigar's low mobility and (E) cooldown to deny his scaling stacks.
Corki wins extended trades post-6 with (R) rockets while Veigar relies on cage to control fights.
Hold wave near your side to safely punish Veigar's last hits and prevent free stack farming.

Trading pattern

Punish Veigar when he walks up for caster minions last hits if enemy support is not threatening.
Use (Q) poke to harass through minion waves before Veigar can set up (E) cage.
Avoid extended trades before your first item spike and only use (R) poke when safe from cage and support engage.

Danger windows

(E) stun creates a high-risk zone; avoid stepping into brush or choke points when it's up.
Do not use (W) forward without vision on enemy support to avoid getting caught by cage follow-up.
Veigar's level 6 burst after cage traps is lethal; respect his (R) execution window before committing.

Early game

Use early waves to thin caster minions and punish Veigar stepping up for last hits with (Q) and autos.
Avoid using (W) forward early to keep escape ready against (E) stun threat.
Track Veigar's support position to decide if you can safely punish his CS or must give it up.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) unlocks repeat poke; use it to zone Veigar and force recalls or objective control.
First completed damage item lets you pressure Veigar's farm and punish his immobility more confidently.
Mid-game item spikes increase your poke damage, making Veigar's pre-6 trades and cage less effective.

Win conditions

Convert poke damage into plates and force Veigar off wave to deny his stack growth and item timing.
Use lane priority post-item spikes to set up dragon vision and mid-game objective control.
Scale into mid-game fights where your mixed damage and mobility allow safe DPS while kiting Veigar's burst.
