Mel vs Veigar

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Mel should pressure Veigar early to deny his calm stacking and scaling potential.
Use W to punish Veigar's projectile spells and avoid giving him safe farm with Veigar E up.

Trading pattern

Trade by landing E root followed by Q poke to build marks before committing.
Use W to reflect Veigar Q or W and punish cooldown windows.
Avoid extended trades if W is down or if E misses, as Veigar can punish with burst.

Danger windows

When Veigar E (Veigar E) is up, avoid walking into cage range to prevent stun and burst.
Veigar is dangerous at level 6 when he can execute marked targets with R.
Mel is vulnerable if W is down and Veigar uses Q and W to burst.

Early game

Apply poke with Q and use E to root Veigar when he steps forward for minion farm.
Hold W to reflect Veigar Q or W for favorable trades.
Avoid trading when Veigar E (Veigar E) is ready to trap you.

Power spikes

Mel's level 6 R is a major spike for finishing marked, low-health targets.
Mel's first mage item increases poke and burst potential significantly.
Respect Veigar's level 6 R spike combined with Veigar E for lethal burst.

Win conditions

Deny Veigar safe farming and stacking by applying poke and forcing him to use Veigar E defensively.
Use W to reflect key Veigar projectiles and punish cooldowns for short trades.
Land E root to set up Q poke and build marks for a lethal R finish on low-health Veigar.
