Veigar excels as a control mage with infinite scaling potential through his passive ability. His signature Event Horizon (cage) provides exceptional area control, making him a formidable mid-lane presence despite a vulnerable early game.

Abilities Priority:

1. Q - Baleful Strike
2. E - Event Horizon
3. W - Dark Matter
4. R - Primordial Burst

Core Strategy:

• Focus on stacking AP through passive by hitting champions with abilities
• Each champion hit grants 1 AP
• Kills and assists provide 5 AP
• Use cage strategically for area control and follow-up CC

Skill Maximization:

1. Max Q first for reduced cooldown and increased damage
2. Add second point to W at level 8 to clear melee minions effectively
3. Max E second for improved area control
4. Max W last while using it for wave clear

Pro Tip: Event Horizon grants passive stacks when enemies are stunned, even without direct damage. Assists from enemies dying within the cage also provide stacks.

Optimal Build Path:
