Veigar vs Anivia

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Veigar wins extended trades by trapping and bursting low-health targets after stacking (Q).
Anivia controls wave priority with strong waveclear, forcing Veigar to hold near safety.
The lane turns on punishing Anivia's missed (Q) and respecting her (R) zoning for safe scaling.

Trading pattern

Punish Anivia when she steps up for caster minion last hits if enemy support cannot trade back.
Use (E) to trap Anivia when she mispositions after missing (Q) or walking predictably.
Avoid trading when (E) is down or wave is pushed far; rely on (Q) stacks and wait for safer windows.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) stun combined with (W) terrain to avoid getting caught in chained CC.
Avoid trading or stepping forward when (R) is active, as it zones and slows effectively.
Be cautious if enemy support controls brush or can immediately follow trades after Anivia's CC.

Early game

Hold the wave near your turret to safely stack (Q) without overextending early.
Avoid pushing early waves to prevent Anivia's support from engaging through brush control.
Use level 2 to safely farm and punish Anivia only if her (Q) is on cooldown and support is passive.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) execute burst; use it to all-in trapped, low-health targets.
First completed mage item plus high (Q) stacks increase burst threat; pressure trades more confidently.
Use (E) cooldown to deny engages or punish predictable movement, increasing lane safety and kill threat.

Win conditions

Convert CS leads and (Q) stacks into item spikes to outburst Anivia in extended fights.
Use reset timings after successful all-ins to crash waves and take turret plates.
Leverage lane pressure to secure dragon vision and force Anivia under tower before objectives.
