Veigar vs Kassadin

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Veigar is a scaling burst mage who must manage a controlled lane to safely farm Q stacks and use E to punish Kassadin's predictable movement.
Kassadin has very high mobility post-6, so Veigar should avoid extended trades and focus on surviving early to reach his power spikes.

Trading pattern

Trade only when E is available to trap Kassadin, especially if he steps forward for minions.
Avoid trading when Kassadin has Kassadin R available or after he uses it to engage.
Use Q poke to chip Kassadin, then follow up with burst when he is trapped or low.

Danger windows

Veigar is vulnerable when E is on cooldown and Kassadin has Kassadin R available to all-in.
Kassadin can punish Veigar if Veigar pushes the wave too far without E ready.
Be cautious if Kassadin uses Kassadin R aggressively and has mana for repeated casts.

Early game

Prioritize farming Q stacks quietly near safety and avoid forced trades before level 6 when Kassadin is vulnerable.
Use E to zone Kassadin when he tries to approach for last hits, punishing his low early wave control.
Keep the wave close to your tower to reduce Kassadin's ability to all-in or roam post-6.

Power spikes

Veigar's major spikes are level 6 R burst and first completed mage item plus Q stack growth.
Kassadin's major spike is level 6 Kassadin R granting mobility and burst.
Respect Kassadin's level 6 spike by playing safe and punishing only when E is ready.

Win conditions

Survive early by farming safely and using E to punish Kassadin's approach.
Reach level 6 and item spikes to threaten Kassadin with lethal burst when trapped.
Deny Kassadin free scaling by controlling wave position and punishing predictable Kassadin movement with E.
