Veigar vs Yasuo

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Veigar is a scaling mage with low early agency who must survive Yasuo's medium early pressure to reach his burst power spikes.
Focus on farming safely near safety and using E to punish Yasuo's predictable dashes and all-ins.

Trading pattern

Trade only when E is ready and Yasuo steps into cage range, especially after Yasuo uses Yasuo W or dashes with Yasuo E.
Respect Yasuo W which blocks many projectiles; avoid wasting Q and W when Yasuo W is up.
Punish Yasuo's cooldown windows, especially when Yasuo W is down and mobility is limited due to lack of minions for Yasuo E.

Danger windows

Veigar is vulnerable when E is down; Yasuo can all-in using Yasuo Q tornado knockup and Yasuo R follow-up.
Yasuo is dangerous when Yasuo W and passive shield are up; avoid committing trades during these windows.
Yasuo struggles to punish when no minion wave is present for his Yasuo E dashes; use wave control to limit his mobility.

Early game

Avoid trading before level 6 and before stacking enough Q; Yasuo has medium lane pressure and mobility.
Keep the wave controlled near your turret to limit Yasuo's E mobility and reduce his all-in threat.
Use E to punish Yasuo when he tries to dash aggressively through minions.

Power spikes

Veigar's major spikes are level 6 R for execute burst and first completed mage item plus Q stack growth.
Yasuo's major spikes to respect are level 2 Q plus E mobility and level 6 R if he can knock you airborne.
E is a key tool to control Yasuo's mobility and force summoner spells or kills.

Win conditions

Survive early pressure by farming safely and using E to punish Yasuo's dashes.
Reach level 6 and stack Q to maximize burst potential on trapped Yasuo targets.
Control the wave near safety to deny Yasuo mobility and force him into unfavorable trades within your cage.
