Lucian vs Veigar

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Lucian wins short burst trades and lane control by punishing Veigar's low mobility and stack farming.
Veigar scales better with stacks and cage control, so deny him free farm and force early recalls.

Trading pattern

Punish Veigar stepping up for caster minion last hits with (Q) through minions only if enemy support can't punish.
Trade immediately after Veigar wastes (E) cage to dodge burst and engage safely.
Use support setup to dash in (E), proc passive shots, and exit before Veigar's longer-range poke answers.

Danger windows

(E) cage sets up lethal burst and forces summoner spells; avoid stepping into cage range.
Veigar's level 6 (R) execute window demands caution when low on health or isolated.
Avoid trading when enemy support controls brush or threat zones that enable immediate follow-up.

Early game

Contest level 2 with support to leverage Lucian's dash and burst before Veigar stabilizes.
Use small waves to dash in and punish Veigar's last-hit attempts behind low-health minions.
Avoid large waves that force you to tank minion damage and reduce your short-range trade effectiveness.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks Lucian's dash and passive burst, enabling early wave control and punishes.
First completed marksman item boosts burst trades, allowing forced recalls or dragon priority.
Level 6 (R) can finish targets pushed out by prior trades, increasing kill threat.

Win conditions

Convert early burst trades into CS leads and force Veigar recalls to deny stack growth.
Crash waves after winning trades to take turret plates and secure dragon vision.
Use lane priority and item spikes to pressure Veigar under turret before his scaling becomes threatening.
