Veigar vs Renekton

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Veigar must manage a low-agency lane against Renekton's high early pressure by focusing on safe stack farming and using (E) to control engages.
Prioritize surviving Renekton's early burst trades and avoid giving him easy all-in windows while building toward your late-game burst potential.

Trading pattern

Trade only when (E) is available to trap Renekton or punish predictable movement, especially if he has used his mobility.
Punish Renekton after he expends both (E) dashes or when his fury is low to avoid his empowered burst.
Avoid trading when (E) is down or Renekton has full fury and (W) ready, as his short burst trades are lethal then.

Danger windows

Renekton is most dangerous when he has high fury, (W) stun ready, and both (E) dashes available; avoid trading or positioning aggressively then.
Veigar is vulnerable when (E) is on cooldown and the wave is pushed too far from safety.
After Renekton hits level 6 and activates (R), expect sustained all-in attempts; keep (E) ready to disengage or punish overcommitment.

Early game

Keep the wave near your turret to minimize Renekton's dash and stun threat and safely farm (Q) stacks.
Use (E) defensively to punish Renekton's engage attempts, especially when he uses both (E) dashes forward.
Avoid extended trades before level 6; focus on farming and only trade when (E) is ready and Renekton's fury is low.

Power spikes

Veigar's level 6 (R) unlocks execute-style burst; use it to force all-ins or picks when Renekton is trapped or low.
First completed mage item plus stack growth significantly increases Veigar's threat; pressure waves and trades more confidently after this.
Respect Renekton's level 3 full combo with empowered (W) and double (E) dash; avoid trades without (E) ready or when his fury is high.

Win conditions

Survive early pressure by farming safely and using (E) to deter Renekton's all-ins, then leverage your scaling stacks and item spikes.
Use (E) to trap Renekton when he mispositions or uses both (E) casts forward, then burst with (R) to secure kills.
Control the wave near your turret to deny Renekton easy engages and reach late game where your burst and zone control dominate.
