Sett vs Veigar

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use your early lane pressure to deny Veigar calm stacking and force him into uncomfortable trades.
Control the wave near your side to threaten (E) stuns and force Veigar to respect your all-in potential.
This is a snowball versus scale matchup; leverage your early aggression to prevent Veigar from reaching his burst thresholds.

Trading pattern

Start trades by forcing close-range autos and use (E) to pull Veigar near minions for stun setups.
Spend grit on centered (W) for maximum shield and true damage when Veigar cannot dodge it.
After Veigar uses (E), immediately punish his reduced peel and immobility with aggressive trades.

Danger windows

(E) cage creates a lethal zone; avoid predictable movement that allows him to trap and stun.
Be cautious when Veigar reaches level 6 with stacks and item power; his (R) can execute low-health targets.
After missing (E) or (W), your threat drops; avoid extended trades or poke during these cooldowns.

Early game

Aggressively engage with autos and (E) to build grit and force Veigar to farm under pressure before level 6.
Avoid extended trades if (E) cage is available and well-positioned to stun you.
Use (Q) to close gaps quickly and start trades before Veigar stacks too much (Q) farm.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to displace Veigar and force favorable brawls or follow-up engages.
First bruiser item spike increases your durability and trade reliability; pressure Veigar to choose between farm or damage.
Respect Veigar's level 6 (R) burst window by spacing carefully and holding key defensive cooldowns.

Win conditions

Win lane by forcing melee trades with (E) stuns and grit-backed (W) to deny Veigar safe stacking.
Use your level 6 (R) to create all-in opportunities or force Veigar into unfavorable positioning.
Apply wave pressure to limit Veigar's farm and roam potential, accelerating your teamfight engage impact.
