Veigar vs Talon

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Veigar is a scaling burst mage with low early agency who must survive Talon's medium lane pressure and mobility to reach his late-game power spikes.
Focus on denying Talon a calm lane to prevent his roams and burst opportunities by controlling wave position and using E defensively.

Trading pattern

Use E to trap Talon when he steps forward for minions, then follow up with burst combos.
Punish Talon when Talon Q is on cooldown since he dashes toward you when using it.
Avoid trading when E is down or Talon is stealthed with Talon R, as you lack mobility to escape.

Danger windows

Veigar is vulnerable when E is on cooldown and Talon can engage with Talon Q dash.
Talon's level 6 Talon R stealth burst creates a lethal all-in window.
Be cautious when the wave is pushed too far from safety as Talon's mobility can punish your immobility.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before level 6 as Talon's mobility and burst from Talon Q and Talon W pressure can punish you.
Use Q to safely farm and stack near safety, keeping wave close to your turret to reduce Talon's roam potential.
Respect Talon E terrain mobility by staying near safe zones and avoid pushing too far without E ready.

Power spikes

Major spikes: Veigar level 6 R burst and first mage item with stack growth.
Respect Talon's level 2 Talon Q plus Talon W pressure and level 6 Talon R stealth burst.
Talon's lethality item spike increases threat; avoid all-ins during this period without E.

Win conditions

Survive early pressure and farm Q stacks safely near turret to reach late-game burst potential.
Use E to punish Talon's predictable movement and force him out of trades.
Capitalize on Talon's cooldowns and lack of waveclear to control lane and deny his roam opportunities.
