Zed vs Veigar

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Zed is a high-mobility assassin who must pressure Veigar early to deny his safe stacking and scaling.
Use lane pressure to prevent Veigar from farming comfortably and force him into risky trades.

Trading pattern

Use W + E for guaranteed damage, then Q to poke and finish trades before Veigar can react.
Punish Veigar when Veigar E is on cooldown by all-in with R to burst him down.
Avoid engaging when Veigar E is available as it can trap and stun you for counterplay.

Danger windows

Veigar E creates a lethal zone; avoid walking predictably into it.
Veigar's level 6 R plus cage can burst Zed if caught low or trapped.
Missing W engage on Zed leaves you vulnerable to Veigar's cage and burst follow-up.

Early game

Exploit Veigar's low early agency by aggressively trading with W + E combo after level 3.
Avoid extended trades until W-E-Q combo is unlocked to minimize risk from Veigar E.
Maintain wave control to keep Veigar near your side and limit his safe farming.

Power spikes

Zed's major spikes: level 3 (W-E-Q combo), level 6 (R), and first lethality item.
Veigar's major spikes: level 6 (Veigar R) and first mage item with stack growth.
Respect Veigar's level 6 burst window and avoid extended fights when his R is up and cage is ready.

Win conditions

Deny Veigar safe Q stack farming by aggressive early pressure and wave control.
Use mobility and R to dodge Veigar's cage and burst him before he can react.
Secure kills post level 6 by comboing W-E-Q and finishing with R before Veigar can retaliate.

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