Veigar vs Irelia

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Veigar has low early agency and must avoid giving Irelia passive lane control to survive.
Focus on a controlled lane near safety to farm Q stacks and use E to punish Irelia's aggressive engages.

Trading pattern

Use E (E) to trap Irelia when she commits with Irelia Q or after she uses Irelia E.
Punish Irelia's missed Irelia E or overextended Q by bursting with R when caged.
Avoid trading when E (E) is down or when Irelia has passive stacks and minion reset paths.

Danger windows

Irelia is most dangerous when she has passive stacks and low-health minions for Irelia Q resets.
Avoid extended fights when Irelia's Irelia E and Irelia R are available.
Veigar is vulnerable when E (E) is on cooldown and Irelia can close distance.

Early game

Prioritize farming quietly to build stacks without losing health or tempo.
Avoid trading before level 6 or when E (E) is on cooldown to prevent Irelia's all-in.
Keep the wave close to your turret to limit Irelia's Q reset paths and reduce her all-in threat.

Power spikes

Veigar's level 6 R plus accumulated Q stacks is the major burst window.
Irelia's level 2 with Irelia Q and Irelia E access is a strong early threat.
Irelia's level 6 with Irelia R greatly increases all-in potential to respect.

Win conditions

Survive early pressure by farming safely and using E (E) to punish predictable Irelia engages.
Exploit Irelia's missed Irelia E or overcommitments to burst with R.
Reach level 6 and item spikes to turn trades decisively and deny Irelia scaling through stack growth.

Tip: For Veigar vs Irelia, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
