Veigar vs Cassiopeia

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Veigar is a low-agency, scaling burst mage who must survive early pressure and farm Q stacks safely.
Avoid giving Cassiopeia a passive lane by controlling wave position and respecting her medium early pressure.

Trading pattern

Trade only when E (E) is ready to trap Cassiopeia or when she steps forward for minions.
Avoid trading when Cassiopeia's poison is active and she can follow up with repeated E damage.
Punish Cassiopeia if she misses Cassiopeia Q or wastes Cassiopeia W by stepping forward aggressively with E and burst.

Danger windows

Veigar is vulnerable when E (E) is on cooldown and Cassiopeia can engage with poison and repeated E.
Respect Cassiopeia's R window, especially when facing her, as it can stun or slow for lethal all-ins.
Avoid pushing wave too far without E ready, as Veigar is immobile and can be punished by Cassiopeia's sustained damage and crowd control.

Early game

Focus on farming quietly and stacking Q near safety until level 6.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 as Cassiopeia's sustained damage and poison make early fights risky.
Use E to punish predictable Cassiopeia movement or to stop her from committing when she walks into range.

Power spikes

Veigar's major spikes are level 6 R and first mage item with Q stack growth.
Respect Cassiopeia's level 6 (Cassiopeia R) Cassiopeia R and first mana/AP item for her sustained damage.
Veigar's E is key for defensive picks and punishing enemy movement into cage range.

Win conditions

Survive early lane pressure and farm Q stacks safely near turret.
Use E to trap Cassiopeia when she overextends or steps into minion range.
Reach level 6 and item spikes to burst Cassiopeia decisively after cage or poke lowers her health.
