Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 9, 2026

Overview

Use (E) to control engage angles and protect ADC from Nautilus's hook and root.
Deny Nautilus brush control to limit his hook threat and secure safer ADC access.
Prioritize wave states that allow safe (Q) stacking and prepare for level 6 burst windows.

Trading pattern

Sync (E) with ADC peel to punish Nautilus engage attempts and secure follow-up.
Avoid forcing trades when (E) is down to prevent Nautilus hook and root combos.
Deny brush vision and positioning to reduce Nautilus's hook angles and follow-up threat.

Danger windows

(Q) hook plus passive root creates long lockdown; avoid stepping into brush without (E).
Level 6 (R) knockup is point-and-click; respect its cooldown and position accordingly.

Early game

Track level 2 closely; avoid extended fights if Nautilus hits it first with hook and root.
Hold lane near your turret to reduce Nautilus's engage angles and protect ADC follow-up.
Use (E) proactively to punish Nautilus stepping into brush or predictable paths for hooks.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks Nautilus's hook plus root; respect this by holding (E) for peel.
Level 6 grants Veigar high burst with (R); use cage setups to trap and burst Nautilus or ADC.
First mage item plus stacks increase Veigar's poke and burst threat; pressure wave and vision.

Win conditions

Use (E) to deny Nautilus engage angles, enabling safe ADC positioning and follow-up.
Crash waves with ADC before roaming to punish Nautilus's roam attempts and secure river vision.
Convert lane control into dragon setups by denying Nautilus brush and hook angles consistently.
