Galio vs Veigar

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 9, 2026

Overview

Use (W) and (E) to control brush and deny Veigar's cage engage angle on your ADC.
Prioritize protecting your ADC from (E) stun and burst follow-up with timely peel and (R).
Push or hold mid wave to create roam windows and leverage (R) for side fights and dragon setup.

Trading pattern

Engage with (E) knock-up only when ADC can immediately follow for burst trades.
Hold (W) to peel Veigar's cage attempts and protect ADC from his burst combo.
Avoid wasting (E) without a clear hit to maintain engage and peel threat against Veigar's immobility.

Danger windows

(E) cage creates lethal burst windows; avoid predictable movement near brush or choke points.
Veigar's level 6 (R) increases execute threat; hold (W) and (R) to protect ADC during his all-ins.
Veigar's poke and cage are strongest when (E) is up and wave is pushed near your turret, exposing ADC.

Early game

Win level 2 trades by layering (W) taunt and (E) knock-up to enable ADC follow-up.
Deny Veigar brush control to reduce his (E) cage threat and secure safer ADC access.
Crash wave quickly before roaming to avoid leaving ADC vulnerable to Veigar's poke and cage.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) grants strong map impact; use it to assist side fights or peel ADC from Veigar's burst.
First durability or AP utility item improves survivability, allowing more confident trades and roams.
Maintain (W) and (E) cooldowns to control short trades and punish Veigar stepping too close.

Win conditions

Convert lane control into denying Veigar's ADC access by controlling brush and vision around dragon.
Use (R) to enable safe roams or counter-engage when Veigar commits (E) or (R).
Force Veigar to use (E) defensively, then punish cooldowns with (W) and (E) to create ADC follow-up opportunities.
