Renekton vs Veigar

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Renekton should use his early lane pressure and mobility to deny Veigar a calm farming lane and prevent him from stacking safely.
This is a snowball vs scale matchup where Renekton must force early trades and avoid giving Veigar time to reach his burst potential.

Trading pattern

Use fury to time short burst trades: dash in with (E), stun with empowered (W), finish with (Q), then dash out with second (E).
Punish Veigar when his (E) cage is on cooldown by stepping forward for trades.
Avoid trading when fury is low or after using both (E) casts forward to prevent being punished by Veigar's burst or cage.

Danger windows

Veigar is most dangerous when (E) cage is up and ready to trap, enabling his burst combo.
After Veigar reaches level 6, avoid extended fights or low health states under wave pressure.
Be cautious when (E) is available to punish predictable dashes or movement into cage range.

Early game

Push early waves to force Veigar to farm under pressure and risk missing stacks.
Use level 3 power spike to engage short trades with high fury and empowered (W).
Avoid extended fights if both (E) dashes are used without a clear kill opportunity.

Power spikes

At level 3, use full combo with high fury to trade aggressively before Veigar gains defensive options.
At level 6, activate (R) to increase durability and convert short trades into all-ins if Veigar is already low.
Respect Veigar's level 6 (R) burst and his cage (E) cooldown; avoid extended trades when these are available.

Win conditions

Use early lane pressure and wave control to deny Veigar safe farming and stack building.
Exploit windows when (E) is down to force short trades and chip him down.
Use (R) empowered all-ins after level 6 to snowball and close the lane before Veigar scales.
