Ryze vs Veigar

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Ryze is a medium-range scaling mage who needs to manage mana and wave control to safely farm against Veigar.
Focus on denying Veigar a calm, safe lane to stack Q and reach his power spikes.

Trading pattern

Trade short bursts using E and Q, holding W to root Veigar if he commits or tries to engage.
Punish Veigar when his Veigar E (Veigar E) is on cooldown by stepping forward for trades.
Avoid extended trades when low on mana or when Veigar's cage is available to trap you.

Danger windows

Veigar is dangerous when Veigar E is up and can trap you for burst damage.
Avoid committing to trades when Veigar's cage is available or when you have low mana.
Be cautious if Veigar pushes the wave too far, as he is vulnerable to punishment then.

Early game

Use controlled E and Q poke to pressure Veigar before he reaches level 6 and item spikes.
Avoid stepping into Veigar E range to prevent getting stunned and punished.
Keep the wave in a manageable state to contest Veigar's safe farming attempts.

Power spikes

Ryze's major spikes are first mana/AP item and level 6 R for map plays.
Veigar's major spikes are level 6 Veigar R and first completed mage item with Q stack growth.
Respect Veigar's level 6 burst threat and avoid being caught in Veigar E before then.

Win conditions

Scale safely by farming and using spell rotations to out-sustain Veigar's poke.
Use W root to interrupt Veigar's cage setup and follow with Q and E damage.
Leverage R to create map pressure and assist side lanes once you have item and level advantages.

Tip: For Ryze vs Veigar, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
