Zeri vs Veigar

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Zeri punishing Veigar's predictable CS paths with (W) through walls.
Zeri wins extended trades with (R) active and terrain access, while Veigar controls short burst trades with (E) stun.
Zeri needs to avoid early forced trades and focus on stable scaling with safe wave states near walls.

Trading pattern

Hit Veigar during last-hit animations when (E) is down and enemy support can't immediately punish.
Use (W) through walls to punish Veigar's predictable CS paths, especially when wave is slow pushing.
Avoid trading when (E) is available, as it punishes Zeri's dash and movement options.

Danger windows

(E) cage creates lethal all-in windows; avoid stepping into it especially when support is nearby.
Veigar's level 6 (R) burst after cage traps is a kill threat; hold defensive tools until it expires.
Losing wall access or (E) cooldown leaves Zeri vulnerable to Veigar's stun and burst combo.

Early game

Use the first three waves to farm near walls, enabling safe (E) escapes against (E) stun.
Punish Veigar's last hits when his support cannot punish, especially on caster minions walking into (W) line.
Avoid stepping into Veigar's cage range early; respect support positioning to avoid costly trades.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) unlocks Zeri's extended fight potential; use it to kite Veigar around walls and outlast his burst.
First completed marksman item strengthens Zeri's poke, making last-hit punishment safer and more damaging.
Two-item spike allows Zeri to control objectives and extended fights, forcing Veigar to respect her mobility and DPS.

Win conditions

Convert CS leads by crashing waves near walls to force Veigar under turret and deny his stacks.
Use (R) and wall mobility to kite extended fights, maximizing DPS while avoiding Veigar's burst.
Secure dragon setups by poking with (W) through terrain and forcing Veigar off the wave before objectives.
