Tristana vs Veigar

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Tristana's level 2 all-in and wave crash to pressure Veigar's immobility.
Tristana wins short trades with stacked (E) burst and resets, while Veigar relies on (E) cage to zone.
Use wave crashes to threaten turret plates and deny Veigar safe stacking windows for scaling.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto Veigar during last-hit animations only if enemy support cannot immediately punish.
Use (E) to stack burst on Veigar when he walks up for CS, then follow with (W) jump if support can follow.
Avoid committing (W) without support follow-up or if (E) cage is ready to trap you.

Danger windows

(E) cage creates lethal all-in windows; avoid stepping into range without (W) or support backup.
When Veigar reaches level 6, respect his (R) execute burst especially if already low on health.
Avoid overextending when enemy support controls brush or threat zone, as Veigar can follow with (E) setup.

Early game

Push first two waves quickly to hit level 2 before Veigar and force him to farm under pressure.
Punish Veigar stepping up for caster minions when his (E) is down and support cannot contest.
Avoid jumping into large minion waves early to prevent minion aggro turning trades against you.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (W) jump and (E) burst, enabling sudden all-ins if support is ready.
First completed marksman item strengthens (E) turret pressure and all-in damage, turning trades into plates or recalls.
Late game, Tristana's range and resets outscale Veigar's burst if you maintain lane control.

Win conditions

Convert winning trades into turret plates by crashing waves with stacked (E) before Veigar can recall.
Use level and item spikes to force Veigar off the wave, denying him safe stack farming.
Snowball resets from kills or assists to pressure dragon control and mid-game objectives with your mobility and burst.
