Veigar vs Qiyana

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Veigar is a scaling mage with low early agency and lane pressure, aiming to farm Q stacks safely against Qiyana's medium early agency and pressure.
Prioritize a controlled lane near safety to avoid Qiyana's high mobility and burst, using E to punish her predictable engages.

Trading pattern

Trade only when E is available and Qiyana steps into cage range, especially if she has used E or R recently.
Punish Qiyana's cooldowns on E and R by landing cage and bursting with R if she is low.
Avoid trading when E is down or wave is pushed too far from safety, as Qiyana can all-in with high mobility then.

Danger windows

Veigar is vulnerable when E is on cooldown and Qiyana can dash in with E or stun with R near terrain.
Avoid fighting near terrain or brush where Qiyana's R can stun and burst.
Punish Qiyana's roam attempts by hard pushing wave and taking plates, as she relies on river fights for impact.

Early game

Focus on quiet early waves to farm Q stacks without losing health or tempo, avoiding forced trades before level 6.
Respect Qiyana's E and Qiyana R threat near terrain; avoid overextending without E ready.
Use E to stop Qiyana's E engages or punish her if she commits without lethal pressure.

Power spikes

Veigar's major spikes are level 6 with R and first completed mage item plus Q stack growth.
Qiyana's major spikes are level 3 (element setup and E dash), level 6 with R terrain stun, and first lethality item.
Respect Qiyana's level 3 and 6 spikes by playing safe and using E defensively during these windows.

Win conditions

Survive early pressure to safely farm Q stacks and reach level 6 to threaten lethal burst with R.
Use E to trap Qiyana when she commits with E or mispositions near minions.
Deny Qiyana access to terrain and avoid fights near brush or river to reduce her all-in threat and scale into late game dominance.
