Samira vs Veigar

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on blocking (Q) poke with (W) and punishing his low mobility when (E) is down.
Samira wins short trades after support engages and can reset with (E) on low-health targets.
Veigar scales better if allowed free stacks, so deny farm and force fights before level 6.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto Veigar during low-health caster minion last hits only if enemy support can't trade back.
Use (W) to block (Q) poke, then follow up with (E) dash when your support lands CC.
Avoid trading when (E) stun is available, as it negates your all-in and burst potential.

Danger windows

(E) stun creates lethal all-in windows; avoid stepping forward when it's available and support is missing.
Be cautious if enemy support controls brush or threat zones, as Veigar can follow up your engage with (E) stun.
Avoid dashing in without support CC or after (W) is wasted, as Veigar can punish your immobility.

Early game

Use the first three waves to hold the wave near your side, denying Veigar safe (Q) stacking.
Punish Veigar's last-hit attempts on caster minions when his (E) is on cooldown and support can't punish.
Avoid dashing in before your support's engage cooldowns to secure safe all-in windows.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) unlocks Samira's reset potential; wait for allied CC to stack Style and secure kills.
First completed damage item increases your all-in damage and reset threat, forcing Veigar to play more cautiously.
Veigar's level 6 (R) and item spikes require you to respect his burst and avoid stepping into (E) range without support.

Win conditions

Pair with engage support to force Veigar under turret and deny his (Q) stacking.
Convert health leads into crashing waves to take plates and secure dragon vision control.
Use all-in resets after support CC to snowball leads and dominate bot-side skirmishes before Veigar scales.
