Veigar vs Sivir

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Veigar wins by punishing Sivir's short-range auto trades and predictable CS movements with (E) cage and burst.
Sivir controls waveclear and (E), forcing Veigar to farm safely and punish only when (E) is ready.
The lane turns on Veigar's ability to hold wave near safety and hit Sivir during last-hit animations without overextending.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto and (Q) Sivir when she commits to last-hitting low-health caster minions, but only if enemy support is not threatening.
Use (E) to trap Sivir when she moves predictably for CS or after she wastes (E).
Avoid trading when (E) is down, as (Q) double-hit and (W) punish your immobility.

Danger windows

(E) blocks your (E) or (Q), negating your main engage and burst windows.
Avoid trading when enemy support controls brush or can follow your engage immediately after (E).
Be cautious when (R) is up, as her team gains movement speed for coordinated all-ins or disengages.

Early game

Use the first three waves to stack (Q) safely near your turret to avoid Sivir's poke and waveclear.
Avoid pushing too far early to prevent (W) from hitting you while farming.
At level 2, punish Sivir's last-hit attempts only if your support can contest her support's zone.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) lets you execute low-health Sivir trapped by (E), forcing her to respect your all-in threat.
First completed mage item plus (Q) stack growth increases your burst, enabling safer trades and wave pressure.
Track (E) availability; trades are safer when it is down, allowing you to cage and burst.

Win conditions

Deny Sivir free farm by punishing her last-hit attempts with (E) cage and burst when her (E) is down.
Crash waves near your turret after stacking (Q) to force Sivir under tower and threaten plates.
Scale safely to your first item spike and use (R) burst in teamfights to maximize your late-game threat and objective control.
