Veigar vs Corki

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Veigar wins by surviving early poke and punishing Corki's CS attempts when (E) is ready.
The lane turns on Veigar's ability to trap Corki stepping up for last hits while avoiding rocket poke.
Veigar scales better into late game burst, needing controlled waves near safety to stack (Q).

Trading pattern

Use (E) to trap Corki during his last-hit animations only if enemy support cannot immediately trade back.
Punish Corki walking up for CS by combining autos with (Q) stacks when (E) cooldown is ready.
Back off if Corki uses (W) forward or enemy support controls brush, as punish windows close.

Danger windows

(R) rockets combined with (W) repositioning create sustained poke zones; avoid stepping up without (E).
When (E) is on cooldown, Veigar is vulnerable to Corki's short-range burst and should avoid extended trades.
Enemy support presence near brush or river increases risk of Corki's poke and follow-up engage.

Early game

Hold the wave near your turret to reduce (W) dash window and limit poke angles.
Punish Corki's last-hit attempts on low-health caster minions when (E) is available and support threat is low.
Avoid pushing early waves too far to prevent Corki from safely poking with (Q) and (R) rockets.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) spike lets Veigar execute low-health Corki trapped by (E), enabling lethal all-ins.
First completed mage item plus (Q) stack growth increases burst threat, allowing safer wave pressure.
Track Corki's first item spike to respect increased poke damage and avoid extended trades.

Win conditions

Convert (E) traps into kills or forced recalls to secure wave crashes and plate damage.
Build (Q) stacks safely to scale into late game burst and out-damage Corki in teamfights.
Use health leads from poke windows to force Corki under turret, denying safe CS and dragon setup.
