Veigar vs Ziggs

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Veigar is a scaling burst mage with low early agency and lane pressure against Ziggs's strong poke and waveclear.
Focus on farming Q stacks safely near your turret while respecting Ziggs's poke range and wave control.

Trading pattern

Trade only when E (E) is ready to trap Ziggs after he uses W or mispositions.
Punish Ziggs's W cooldown by stepping forward for a short trade or stacking Q.
Avoid trading when Ziggs has mana for sustained poke or when his E zones your cage placement.

Danger windows

When your E (E) is on cooldown, you are vulnerable to Ziggs's poke and W displacement.
Avoid pushing the wave too far without E ready as Ziggs can punish your immobility.
Be cautious if Ziggs has W available to disengage or execute turret plates, limiting your all-in windows.

Early game

Prioritize safe Q farming without pushing the wave to avoid Ziggs's poke and W disengage.
Use E to punish Ziggs when he walks predictably into range or to stop his engage attempts.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 when you lack burst and mobility.

Power spikes

Veigar's level 6 R plus Q stacks enable lethal burst on trapped targets.
First completed mage item amplifies your burst and survivability.
Respect Ziggs's level 6 R and first poke item spike which increase his poke threat and waveclear.

Win conditions

Survive early poke and farm Q stacks safely near turret to reach your burst thresholds.
Use E to trap Ziggs after he wastes W or walks into predictable paths.
Punish low Ziggs targets with R burst once trapped or after poke damage lowers his health.

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