Veigar ARAM Build 26.22

Veigar Item Build

Because Veigar's own passive supplies a bottomless stream of ability power, his items chase what that stat alone cannot: the cooldown and mana to fire his combo more often, and enough burst amplification to convert a caged target into an instant kill. The Abyss keeps enemies within his short reach at all times, which is exactly the range his cage-and-nuke sequence needs to actually land.

Best Veigar Runes

Dark Harvest rewards the patient scaling that makes Veigar terrifying on the Abyss, where the endless fighting keeps feeding his stacks with no downtime. His kit only needs one Event Horizon cage on the clumped team to line up Dark Matter and an execute. Build around the mana and cooldowns that let him keep chipping while his power climbs.

Veigar Skill Order

Event Horizon runs a 23 to 17 second cooldown on the Abyss, where every champion takedown feeds three stacks of Phenomenal Evil. Baleful Strike claims 4, 5, 7 and 9 and Dark Matter fills 8, 10, 12 and 13, so the cage does not move again until 14.

Veigar ARAM Abilities

Baleful Strike is the other half of his scaling, a bolt that hits the first two enemies and hands over permanent ability power for anything it last-hits. Dark Matter feeds the loop back, its long delay shrinking as his stacks pile up until it falls almost on cooldown.
