How to play Veigar in ARAM Mayhem

Veigar is a solid, middle-of-the-pack pick in ARAM Mayhem on patch 26.21: tier B, #84 of 173 champions, with a 49.5% win rate over 1,576,196 games.

95% of Veigar's damage to champions is magic, so enemy magic resist is what slows it down. Its damage numbers are modest (33,105 to champions per game); its value is in what it enables rather than raw damage.

The AP build, ability power items, is both the most played and the top-ranked path: Rod of Ages, Rabadon's Deathcap and Archangel's Staff, with a 49.7% win rate over 1,004,763 games. For boots, Gluttonous Greaves are both the most bought and the top-ranked pair.

The cards that do best on Veigar are Big Brain, Back To Basics and Eureka. Cards built around ability haste fill most of the top of its list, followed by movement speed. Most of its S-tier cards are prismatic, so a prismatic offer is often the pick that shapes the game. Skip Endless Decimation and Impassable when you can: they do worst on Veigar. A pair to look for: Eureka with Big Brain.

Take Flash and Ghost (59% of players). Max Q (Baleful Strike) first, then W, then E.
