Yasuo vs Veigar

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Yasuo is a mobile skirmisher who must pressure Veigar early to deny his safe farming and stacking.
Use Q and E to control space near minions, preventing Veigar from comfortably setting up Veigar E or farming safely.

Trading pattern

Stack Q and dash through minions with E to engage short trades, using W to block Veigar Q and W projectiles.
Punish Veigar when his Veigar E is on cooldown by stepping forward for trades or wave pressure.
Commit to all-ins only after landing your tornado knockup or when Veigar is trapped by your crowd control.

Danger windows

Veigar E is a major threat; avoid predictable movement that lets him cage and stun you.
When your W is down, you lose your main projectile block and become vulnerable to Veigar's poke.
Veigar's level 6 R can execute low-health targets trapped by Veigar E; respect his burst when caged.

Early game

Push and trade aggressively around level 2 when you have Q and E for mobility and damage.
Avoid prolonged fights when Veigar E is up to prevent getting stunned.
Use minion waves for mobility and short trades to chip Veigar's health before level 6.

Power spikes

Level 2 with Q plus E mobility is your first major spike to pressure Veigar.
Level 6 is critical for your R to capitalize on airborne targets for kill potential.
Respect Veigar's level 6 R burst and his first completed mage item as key danger spikes.

Win conditions

Deny Veigar a calm, safe lane by using Q and E to pressure and zone him off stacks.
Use your mobility and knockup combo to force all-ins before Veigar reaches his scaling power.
Control wave state to keep minions near you for mobility and to punish Veigar when his defensive cooldowns are down.
