Veigar vs Jinx

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Veigar wins by controlling wave near safety and punishing Jinx's forced CS steps with (E).
Jinx benefits from stable waves to use (Q) rockets for poke and safe farm.
The lane turns on Veigar landing (E) to trap Jinx before she can use resets or poke safely.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto and (Q) Jinx when she commits to last-hit low-health minions and support cannot punish.
Use (E) to trap Jinx when she walks predictably between minions for CS or poke, then burst with (R).
Avoid trading when (E) is down or Jinx's support controls brush and engage zones to prevent all-ins.

Danger windows

(E) root combined with support engage creates kill windows if you overextend.
Avoid stepping into brush or engage zones without (E) ready to block or punish.
Respect (Q) rocket poke when minions cluster, especially if support can follow up immediately.

Early game

Hold wave near your turret to deny Jinx safe rocket poke angles early.
Use (E) to punish Jinx stepping up for low-health caster minions if support threat is low.
Avoid pushing too far early to prevent Jinx and support from engaging through (E) cooldown windows.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) execute burst, turning (E) traps into lethal all-in windows.
First completed mage item plus (Q) stack growth lets Veigar threaten stronger poke and wave pressure.
Use these spikes to pressure Jinx off waves and force recalls before she reaches item thresholds.

Win conditions

Deny Jinx free farm by punishing her last-hit attempts with (E) and (Q) poke.
Convert lane control into plates and dragon setup by forcing Jinx under turret pre-item.
Scale safely to level 6 and item spikes to burst Jinx in teamfights and extended trades.
