Veigar vs Xerath

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 9, 2026

Overview

Use (E) to control engage angles and protect your ADC from Xerath's poke and stun.
Deny Xerath's poke by controlling brush and forcing him to waste (Q) and (W) on safe targets.
Prioritize lane space near your ADC to enable follow-up after your (E) engages or peels.

Trading pattern

Engage with (E) only when your ADC can immediately follow-up for a kill or forced summoner.
Hold (E) to peel (E) stun attempts and protect your ADC's access.
Deny brush to reduce Xerath's poke angles and create safer windows for your ADC to trade.

Danger windows

Respect (E) stun and enemy ADC follow-up during his engage attempts.
Xerath's poke and slow from (Q) and (W) create windows where your ADC is vulnerable to pressure.
Avoid overextending when (E) is on cooldown as you lack peel and mobility.

Early game

Contest level 2 to prevent Xerath's poke and stun from zoning your ADC.
Hold brush control to limit Xerath's long-range poke angles and protect your ADC's positioning.
Use wave state to keep your ADC safe near turret while building stacks with (Q).

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) unlocks lethal burst; coordinate engages to punish Xerath when trapped.
First completed mage item plus stack growth increases your burst threat, forcing Xerath to play cautiously.
Level 3 unlocks full kit; use (E) to punish predictable Xerath movement and protect your ADC.

Win conditions

Convert lane control into vision dominance around river and dragon to deny Xerath's poke setup.
Use (E) engages combined with ADC follow-up to force enemy summoners or secure kills.
Roam after wave crashes only when your ADC is safe and river vision denies Xerath's mid pressure.

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