Veigar vs Vladimir

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Veigar is a scaling burst mage with low early agency who must manage Vladimir's sustain and untargetability.
Focus on denying Vladimir a passive lane and safe farming to prevent him from reaching his mid-game spikes.

Trading pattern

Trade primarily when Vladimir's W is down to trap him with E and burst with R.
Punish Vladimir if he uses W early by stepping forward for poke and cage control.
Avoid trading when Vladimir's empowered Q is ready, as his short trades become dangerous then.

Danger windows

Veigar is vulnerable when E is on cooldown or Vladimir's W is available to dodge crowd control.
Vladimir's empowered Q windows pose a threat for short trades; avoid engaging then.
After Vladimir uses W, there is a window to punish his cooldown before it returns.

Early game

Prioritize safe Q stacking near tower to avoid poke and Vladimir's short trades with empowered Q.
Use E to punish predictable Vladimir movement and prevent him from freely sustaining with Vladimir Q.
Avoid extended trades when Vladimir's empowered Q is ready or Vladimir W is available for untargetability.

Power spikes

Veigar's major spikes are level 6 R and first completed mage item plus Q stacks.
Respect Vladimir's level 6 R and empowered Vladimir Q as key threats.
Veigar's E cooldown is crucial for both defense and punishing Vladimir's approach.

Win conditions

Survive early lane pressure by farming safely and stacking Q.
Use E to trap Vladimir when his W is down and follow up with R for burst kills.
Deny Vladimir a calm scaling lane by contesting farm and punishing his cooldowns to reach Veigar's stronger mid and late game.

Tip: For Veigar vs Vladimir, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
