Anivia vs Veigar

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on last-hit punish windows when Veigar steps up for CS without support threat.
Anivia wins extended trades with (R) zoning and waveclear, controlling wave state near her turret.
Veigar scales harder but has low early lane pressure; deny his safe stacking by crashing waves.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto or (Q) Veigar during his last-hit animations if enemy support is not threatening.
Use (W) to block Veigar's path and force him into your (Q) stun for burst trades.
Avoid trading when (E) cage is up and support can engage; wait for (E) cooldown to punish.

Danger windows

(E) cage combined with support follow-up creates lethal all-in windows; respect this zone.
Avoid stepping into brush or river zones where enemy support can chain CC after (E).
Veigar's level 6 burst threatens execute if caught in cage; back off when (R) is available and cage is up.

Early game

Use the first three waves to hold the wave near your side, denying Veigar safe (Q) stacking.
Punish Veigar stepping forward for caster minion last hits if enemy support cannot countertrade.
Avoid pushing too far early to prevent Veigar trapping you with (E) and follow-up burst.

Power spikes

After level 6 and first mana/AP item, use (R) to zone Veigar and force him under turret.
Veigar's level 6 (R) burst demands respect; avoid extended trades if (E) cage is ready.
Post first item, pressure waves confidently but watch for Veigar's cage cooldown to avoid burst combos.

Win conditions

Convert last-hit punish windows into health leads and crash waves to deny Veigar safe stacking.
Use waveclear and (R) zoning to force Veigar under turret and take turret plates.
Scale into teamfights where Anivia's zoning and control secure DPS space against Veigar's burst threat.
