Veigar vs Ahri

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Veigar is a scaling burst mage who wants a quiet lane to farm Q stacks safely and use E to control trades.
Avoid giving Ahri early lane pressure or roam opportunities by maintaining a controlled wave near safety.

Trading pattern

Use E to trap Ahri when she commits forward or uses Ahri E, then burst with R if she is low.
Avoid trading when E is on cooldown or Ahri has Ahri R available to dodge your cage.
Punish Ahri's use of Ahri Q on the wave by stepping forward for Q stacks or short poke when she cannot retaliate safely.

Danger windows

Veigar is vulnerable when E is down and Ahri's R is available to all-in or disengage.
Avoid pushing too far without E as Ahri can exploit your immobility and Ahri E for kills.
When Ahri's E is up and you lack E, respect her pick potential and avoid risky trades.

Early game

Focus on farming Q stacks quietly without overextending since Ahri has high early agency and poke.
Use E to punish Ahri's predictable movement when she steps forward for minion damage or to land Ahri E.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 as Ahri's mobility and Ahri E make all-ins risky.

Power spikes

Veigar's major spike is level 6 R for lethal burst on trapped targets.
Respect Ahri's level 6 R which enables her to dodge E and extend picks or escape.
Veigar's first completed mage item plus stack growth increases burst threat significantly.

Win conditions

Survive early pressure and farm Q stacks to reach strong burst thresholds.
Use E to punish Ahri's predictable movement or cooldown use, then follow up with R for kills.
Deny Ahri safe wave states to limit her roam and force her into unfavorable trades near your tower.

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