Rakan vs Veigar

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use brush control to threaten (W) engages and enable ADC follow-up against Veigar's immobility.
Protect your ADC from (E) cage by holding (E) shield and positioning to dodge skillshots.
Leverage Rakan's mobility to create quick engages or disengages around wave and vision control.

Trading pattern

Engage with (W) when ADC is ready to follow up on knockup, then use (E) to peel or reposition.
Hold (E) shield to absorb Veigar's burst or (E) cage, preventing ADC lockdown.
Avoid engaging if (W) is on cooldown or (E) is available to punish predictable dashes.

Danger windows

(E) cage creates zone control; avoid predictable movement and maintain brush vision.
Level 6 Veigar with (R) can burst low-health targets; save (E) shield for peel and disengage.
Veigar's poke and cage cooldowns expose your ADC; punish when these are on cooldown.

Early game

Win the level 2 race with (W)+(E) to pressure Veigar before he stacks safely.
Deny Veigar brush control to limit his (E) cage angles and protect your ADC's positioning.
Coordinate with your ADC to crash waves early, opening roam windows and vision setup.

Power spikes

Level 2: (W)+(E) unlocks strong engage and peel; use this window to force Veigar off stacks.
Level 6: (R) charm enables multi-target engages; coordinate with ADC for lethal follow-up.
Post first item spike: Veigar's burst grows; increase vision control and avoid extended trades.

Win conditions

Convert brush and river vision control into safe engage angles for your ADC to follow.
Roam after wave crashes to pressure mid and secure dragon vision, returning before ADC vulnerability.
Use (R) charm in teamfights to initiate and chain CC, enabling your ADC to output damage safely.
