Diana vs Veigar

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Diana is a mobile AP diver who wants to pressure Veigar early to deny his safe stack farming and scaling.
Use your medium early agency and lane pressure to avoid giving Veigar a calm, controlled lane state to scale safely.

Trading pattern

Use Q followed by E to dash in and reset cooldown for burst trades when Veigar's Veigar E is down or poorly placed.
Respect Veigar E cooldown; engage aggressively only when his cage is unavailable to avoid being stunned.
Use W shield to absorb poke during trades but avoid extended fights without your E reset.

Danger windows

Veigar's cage (Veigar E) is a lethal threat; avoid engaging or dashing predictably when it is available.
Veigar level 6 with R can execute low-health targets trapped by Veigar E; maintain spacing and health.
Missing Q or using E without reset leaves you vulnerable to Veigar's counterplay and burst.

Early game

Push and pressure Veigar early to disrupt his Q stacking and force him to use Veigar E defensively.
Reach level 3 quickly to unlock your Q-W-E burst combo and shield for safer trades.
Avoid committing without Q as missing it leaves you vulnerable to Veigar's punish with Veigar E cage.

Power spikes

Major spikes: Level 3 unlocks your full Q-W-E burst and shield; Level 6 R enables strong all-ins.
Respect Veigar's level 6 R burst and his first completed AP item with growing Q stacks.
Your first completed AP skirmish item increases your burst threat and survivability against Veigar's poke.

Win conditions

Deny Veigar safe Q stack farming by pressuring early waves and forcing him to play behind Veigar E cooldown.
Use your Q-W-E combo with Electrocute to burst Veigar before he reaches key power spikes.
At level 6, look for all-ins using R to lock Veigar down and secure kills, snowballing your lead.
