Veigar vs Aurora

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Veigar is a scaling burst mage with low early agency and lane pressure against Aurora's medium lane pressure and mobility.
Focus on controlling the lane near safety to farm Q stacks and use E to punish Aurora's predictable movement or engage attempts.

Trading pattern

Trade only when E (E) is ready to trap Aurora, especially after she uses W and loses her escape.
Punish Aurora's long Aurora E animation by stepping forward with Q and W if she misses it.
Avoid trading when E is on cooldown or Aurora can quickly reposition with W, as she can punish Veigar's immobility.

Danger windows

Veigar is vulnerable when E (E) is down; avoid extended trades or all-ins during this time.
After Aurora uses W, she loses mobility briefly; this is a safer window to trade or cage.
Be cautious when Aurora reaches level 6 and has her ultimate ready, as her burst and mobility increase significantly.

Early game

Prioritize farming quietly and stacking Q without overextending since Aurora has medium lane pressure and mobility.
Avoid trading when Aurora's W is available as she can dodge skillshots and reposition.
Use E to zone or punish Aurora's attempts to farm if she mispositions due to her low range.

Power spikes

Veigar's major spikes: level 6 R burst and first completed mage item plus Q stack growth.
Aurora's major spikes: level 6 ultimate for burst and mobility, and first completed AP burst item.
Respect Aurora's level 6 spike by playing cautiously until E is available to counter her all-in.

Win conditions

Survive early pressure by farming safely and stacking Q to increase burst potential.
Use E (E) to trap Aurora when she mispositions, especially after she uses W or misses Aurora E.
Reach level 6 and item spikes to burst Aurora decisively when caught in cage or low on health.
