League of Legends S12: Veigar Mid Build Guide

From runes to items, gameplay tips amd more, we've put together a guide to help you master playing Veigar in the midlane in League of Legends.

Be mindful that there are several ways to build and play a champion, and you'll need to be adaptable as the game and the enemy team progress.

That said, this guide is a good starting point to helping you get to grips with the champion and making an impact in your games.

Gameplay

You'll want to focus on farming - or at least hitting enemies - in the early game, as Veigar very much depends on snowballing thanks to tons of stacks on his passive. Play safe, and in the lategame you'll become a one-shot master thanks to almost infinite AP scaling. 

  • Level 1 - Take Q - Baleful Strike, so you can begin stacking Phenomenal Evil. Use it to last hit minions. 
  • Level 2 - Take Dark Matter, so you can clear minions more quickly. 
  • First Back - Work towards your Everfrost, or pick up early boots for more magic penetration.

Tips & Tricks

  • Don't hesitate to farm Raptors from your lane, using Dark Matter and Baleful Strike. This will grant you free stacks of Phenomenal Evil. Naturally, clear it with your jungler first - or aim for the enemy Raptors. 
  • If you don't have vision on a bush, drop an Event Horizon before entering. Dark Matter also grants vision.
  • Remember, your ult deals damage based on your enemy's missing health. Use it as the final component of your burst rotation.
