Veigar vs Twisted Fate

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Veigar is a scaling burst mage with low early agency and lane pressure against Twisted Fate's medium early agency and lane pressure.
Prioritize a quiet, controlled lane near safety to farm Q stacks and use E to punish Twisted Fate's predictable movement or overextensions.

Trading pattern

Trade only when E (E) is ready and Twisted Fate steps into cage range, especially if Gold Card (W) is not selected.
Punish Twisted Fate's cooldowns on Gold Card by using E to trap and follow up with burst.
Avoid trading when E is down or Twisted Fate has Gold Card ready, as he can stun and punish Veigar's immobility.

Danger windows

Veigar is vulnerable when E is on cooldown and Twisted Fate has Gold Card ready for stun.
Avoid pushing wave too far without E, as Twisted Fate can punish Veigar's immobility.
When Twisted Fate's R is up, be aware of potential roams and hard push to punish or take plates.

Early game

Focus on farming safely to build Q stacks without losing too much health or tempo.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 since Twisted Fate can punish without Gold Card ready.
Use E to zone or stop Twisted Fate's approach when he tries to step forward for minions.

Power spikes

Veigar's major spike is level 6 R plus Q stack and first mage item for lethal burst.
Respect Twisted Fate's level 6 R which enables map pressure and forces cautious play.
Veigar's minor spike at level 3 improves defensive options but is less impactful than level 6.

Win conditions

Survive early pressure by farming Q stacks safely and using E to punish predictable Twisted Fate movement.
Use level 6 R burst to execute targets trapped by E, especially when Twisted Fate is low or without Gold Card.
Deny Twisted Fate wave priority to limit his roam threat and scale into late game burst dominance.
