Veigar is a powerful late-game mage who excels at bursting down enemies and controlling space with his abilities. His infinite AP scaling makes him particularly deadly as games progress.

Strengths:

• Infinite AP scaling through Passive
• Excellent at one-shotting targets after first item
• Strong in enclosed spaces
• Great gank setup with Event Horizon (E)
• Powerful crowd control capabilities

Weaknesses:

• Very immobile
• Vulnerable to crowd control
• Weak early game
• Long cooldown on Event Horizon (E)
• Struggles if shut down early

Early Game (Levels 1-5)

• Control lane brushes for safe poke
• Maintain safe distance due to immobility
• Use W and E combination for trades
• Stack passive whenever possible

Power Spikes

• Level 3: Basic ability combo becomes available
• Level 6: Access to ultimate (R) for finishing power
• Level 9: Maxed Event Horizon (E)
• Level 11: Two points in ultimate
• Level 16: Fully maxed ultimate for one-shot potential

Mid Game Strategy

• Prioritize objective fights
• Stack passive consistently
• Build defensive items if needed (e.g., Zhonya's Hourglass)
• Focus on catching opponents in chokepoints

Late Game Tactics

• One-shot potential on squishies with Q + R
• Focus on multi-target CC in teamfights
• Stay with team and avoid solo wandering
• Use ultimate frequently due to lower cooldown
• Control chokepoints for maximum effectiveness

Tips for Success

• Always CC targets before trading
• Use ultimate on low-health champions
• Maintain ward coverage due to immobility
• Focus on AP stacking through passive
• Position carefully in teamfights

Remember to adapt your build based on enemy composition and always prioritize positioning due to Veigar's lack of mobility.
