Veigar vs Annie

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Veigar is a scaling burst mage who must manage safe farming and stack growth against Annie's medium lane pressure.
Focus on controlling the wave near safety and using E to punish Annie's predictable engages while avoiding her burst windows.

Trading pattern

Trade only when E is ready to trap Annie after she commits with Q or W.
Punish Annie when she uses W to push wave and runs low on mana.
Avoid trading without E as Annie can burst with her passive stun and R follow-up.

Danger windows

Annie is most dangerous when her passive stun is charged and R Tibbers is available.
Veigar is vulnerable when E is down or when Annie forces him to push the wave far from safety.
Beware of Annie all-ins after she procs her passive stun or when her R is off cooldown.

Early game

Prioritize quiet early waves to safely farm Q stacks and avoid Annie's Q+W burst combo.
Use E to zone Annie when she tries to proc her passive stun or engage with Tibbers.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 when Annie's burst and stun threat is highest.

Power spikes

Veigar's major spikes are level 6 R burst and first mage item plus Q stack growth.
Respect Annie's level 6 R Tibbers and first AP item power spikes as windows of high burst threat.

Win conditions

Win by farming safely to high Q stacks and using E to trap Annie for lethal R burst.
Deny Annie free picks by respecting her passive stun and R cooldowns.
Maintain a controlled lane near turret to avoid Annie's burst and punish her mana reliance on W pushes.

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