Veigar Build Guide (Mid)

Veigar farms his way to a delete key: every Baleful Strike kill is permanent ability power, Event Horizon is the best cage in the game, and Primordial Burst one-shots any mage in existence by design.

Veigar Changes

Patch 26.16

buffCurrent Patch

Veigar is one of the very worst mid laners in the game, so it's time for some buffs. Due to how core Q-spamming on every minion is to his playstyle, we want to make sure it feels supported, while still requiring him to buy some mana items to keep up.

Q - Baleful Strike

  • Mana Cost: 60 / 65 / 70 / 75 / 80 → 50 / 55 / 60 / 65 / 70
  • Damage: 80 / 125 / 170 / 215 / 260 + 60% Ability Power → 80 / 125 / 170 / 215 / 260 + 65% Ability Power

Patch 26.15
