Taliyah vs Veigar

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Taliyah controls mid by pressuring Veigar's immobile, low early agency with Q poke and punishing his predictable movement with W and E.
Deny Veigar the calm farming lane he needs to stack Q and reach his scaling power spikes by maintaining lane pressure and wave control.

Trading pattern

Trade short bursts with Q poke, then punish Veigar if he tries to walk into W or E space.
Avoid extended trades when Veigar E is up; respect Veigar E cooldown to prevent stun combos.
Use W to displace Veigar through E for strong punish windows when he commits forward.

Danger windows

Veigar is dangerous when Veigar E is available; avoid predictable movement that can be trapped.
Veigar's level 6 R can execute low-health targets caught in his cage.
Be cautious when W and E are down; Veigar can punish Taliyah's reduced peel and displacement options.

Early game

Use Q to harass Veigar while staying out of Veigar E range to avoid his stun.
Hold W and E to punish Veigar's attempts to farm or move forward, especially when Veigar lacks Veigar E.
Push wave safely to force Veigar to farm under turret, disrupting his stack buildup and limiting his scaling.

Power spikes

Taliyah's level 6 R enables map pressure and roams, increasing lane agency.
First completed mage item boosts Q poke and wave control effectiveness.
Veigar's level 6 R is a lethal burst threat when combined with Veigar E stun; respect this power spike by spacing carefully.

Win conditions

Control wave with Q and punish Veigar's attempts to farm safely with W and E.
Deny Veigar stack buildup by pushing wave and forcing him to farm under turret.
Use level 6 R to roam and create map pressure, preventing Veigar from freely scaling mid.
