Man, can we talk about how much I love Veigar? This little bastard was my first mage character, and I bought him on a whim, but I love him. My adventures with Veigar have been spectacular, and I have to say, he's a fun little fucker to use.
Veigar is a pint sized anti-mage with a hilarious tone of voice, but he's pretty deadly as well. I call him the Mini-Nuke for a reason, as he can take out vast amounts of HP pretty quickly. He's very dangerous once fed, well, most champions are, but Veigar especially. Veigar is usually an AP champion, being an anti-mage an all, but SOME people (coughcough Rexif) are trying to justify AD Veigar. I won't be shocked to see AD Carry Veigar... eventually.
ANYWAY! Let's get down to learning about his abilities, shall we?
Veigar's Passive Ability, called Equilibrium, makes him a walking mana-pot (or Blue Soda as some people like to say). Equilibrium makes it so Veigar gains 1% Mana Regen for every 1% of Mana missing. In a sense, Equilibrium is kinda like Warmog's Armor, but an ability and not a large set of branches twisted together to make armor, and concentrates on Mana instead of health... and it didn't get nerfed.
But, moving away from comparisons to Warmog's, next up is Veigar's extremely evil Q ability, called Baleful Strike. Baleful Strike is a targeted ability with one purpose: To Kill. Now, Baleful strike is pretty interesting because not only does it deal magic damage to an enemy, but, if you score a kill with Baleful Strike, on anything, Veigar PERMANENTLY gains some AP. That's right, you're not reading this wrong, I'm not typing this wrong. Even if Veigar were to kill a minion with Baleful Strike, he does get some AP to keep. Funny part about it is, Veigar gets more of a reward for killing champions, large minions, or large monsters with Baleful Strike. This only means he gets more AP for that kill, nothing more nothing less. From what I hear, this infinite AP scaling is why Rexif and others try to justify AD Veigar (don't worry guys, he almost has his second phantom dancer). I usually build Baleful Strike first, at first because of the targeted part of it, because playing AP Mid I don't have any time for skillshots man. Fuck dat. I ain't got time for missing some bullshit kill because I missed a skillshot. Nope. Not even a little bit. Anyway, I'm just gonna continue while grumbling about skillshots, if you don't mind.
Veigar's W is Dark Matter. For some reason every time I use this ability I hear a choir chanting "Sephiroth!" as it lands. Dark Matter is an area target ability (Like, the ones with the circle and shit. I don't know the real term for this... whatever.) where, when you select the area, a meteor like (Hence, the Sephiroth chant) object hitting the selected area and damaging everything in the area, like minions, champions... anything except for turrets, inhibitors, and the enemy Nexus. I mean, it's REALLY great for chasers, just stick it behind you and watch the enemy take damage as they chase you. Or, it works great with his E, which stuns shit, and it helps kill minion waves quickly! But it's best use... THE NUKE, MOTHERFUCKERS. Yes, The Nuke. The Nuke is the best of Veigar combos, and it's almost a guaranteed kill against mages/AP characters. I'll get around to describing it in a bit.
So... aside from my sudden aggro, we're gonna talk about his E, which is called Event Horizon. Okay, not only can this little motherfucker infinitely scale AP, cause meteor like explosion type things, but he can STUN YOU. Yep. Event Horizon is a stun circle. To go back to previous reviews, it's kinda like Thresh's Ult. You target the area, and the Event Horizon goes up (In it's description, Veigar actually bend space and time. So fuck you). Any Champion that steps into one of the edges gets stunned for a few seconds, leaving them open for an easy Baleful Strike, or an easy Dark Matter, or, my favorite... THE NUKE. (man I love Veigar, that little sum'bitch.) Event Horizon has a multitude of uses, like getting away from a lot of champions, or chasing someone down, or a really cool initiation. So, it's wicked cool.
Okay... so his ultimate, the key ingredient in The Nuke, Primordial Burst. Okay, I fucking love his ult. It's the ultimate bitch-slap to mages in my opinion. What it is, a targeted ability that causes Veigar to shoot out energy which does damage to the enemy champion, and, on top of that, does 80% of the enemy champion's AP in magic damage. Yep, that's right, if some unlucky Lux attempts to snowball and has like, 800 AP or more, you can kiss her goodbye once Veigar Ults her. And this is where The Nuke comes in. What you do is this...:
Say you're Veigar, just hoppin around and you happen upon a teamfight. Run in, Event Horizon in a fashion where at least two of them, INCLUDING the champion with the highest AP, gets stuck. Now here's the tricky part... You have to ULT THE AP CHAMPION FIRST, then Dark Matter that spot, then Baleful Strike them. This way, the AP champion most likely dies from Baleful Strike, giving you the bonus AP, and the other champion takes damage (or a few of them. depending on how lucky you are) and you're the hero of the teamfight... kinda. Either that or you're reported for being a (this is a personal example) "ks'ing phaggit" (Yep... actual quote).
Well, it's been fun, but here comes the end of the review. This was Necroanimus and I'm helping you learn about any champion you do so desire. Now, here's my build for him as I step out:
Sorc's with Homeguard
DeathFire Grasp
Zhonya's Hourglass
Abyssal Scepter
Void Staff
Mejai's Soulstealer
... love you guys <3
