Veigar vs Zed

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Veigar has low early agency and must avoid early all-ins from Zed's high lane pressure and mobility.
Focus on safe farming and using E to control Zed's aggressive engages while building stacks for late-game burst.

Trading pattern

Trade only when E is available to trap Zed and prevent his mobility from dodging your burst.
Punish Zed's cooldowns by stepping forward after he misses Q or wastes W.
Avoid extended trades without E as Zed can use R to all-in and burst you down.

Danger windows

Zed is most dangerous after level 3 when he can combo W+E+Q and at level 6 with R.
Veigar is vulnerable when E is on cooldown and Zed can engage freely.
Avoid pushing too far without E as Zed's mobility allows him to punish your immobility.

Early game

Abuse Zed's weakness before level 3 by pressuring with Q and punishing missed W engages.
Keep the wave near your turret to reduce Zed's all-in threat and safely farm Q stacks.
Use E to cage Zed when he commits with W+E to prevent follow-up damage.

Power spikes

Veigar's level 6 R plus stacks is a major burst spike to punish trapped or low-health Zed.
First completed mage item significantly increases Veigar's damage and survivability.
Respect Zed's level 3 W+E+Q combo and level 6 R for all-in potential.

Win conditions

Survive early pressure and farm Q stacks safely near turret to reach late-game burst power.
Use E to catch Zed when he overextends or tries to engage, then follow with R for kill.
Deny Zed's ability to roam by maintaining lane control and punishing his cooldowns to limit his impact.

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