Jinx vs Veigar

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Jinx's ability to punish Veigar's low mobility and cage cooldowns with rocket splash damage.
Jinx wins extended trades and wave control by using (Q) rockets to contest CS safely from range.
Veigar needs time to stack and reach level 6, so Jinx should avoid early all-ins and focus on safe scaling.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto or (W) poke Veigar during his last-hit animations when his support is out of engage range.
Avoid trading when (E) is available as it blocks your escape and sets up his burst.
Use (Q) rockets to hit Veigar and clustered minions, maximizing splash damage without overextending.

Danger windows

(E) cage creates lethal all-in windows, especially if your support can follow up immediately.
Avoid stepping into brush or river zones controlled by enemy support where Veigar can trap you with (E).
The post-level 6 burst combo with (E) + (R) is deadly; hold key defensive cooldowns and position cautiously.

Early game

Use the first three waves to farm with (Q) rockets without pushing past river to avoid (E) cage setups.
Punish Veigar when he steps up for caster minion CS if his support cannot immediately engage.
Hold wave near your side to reduce Veigar's angle for (E) and limit his burst threat before level 6.

Power spikes

First completed item spike lets Jinx hold wave access and punish Veigar's immobility more confidently.
Two-item power spike greatly increases Jinx's range and DPS, making grouped fights and objective control safer.
Level 6 unlocks (R) execute, so respect his burst window and play around your support's peel.

Win conditions

Survive early lane by denying Veigar free stacks and punishing his CS attempts with splash damage.
Convert health and wave control leads into crashing waves to take plates and force Veigar recalls.
Reach item spikes to use rocket range and resets to dominate teamfights and secure dragon control.
