Equilibrium
Missing mana increases regeneration, but that recovery is not a reason to empty the pool before a dangerous wave.

Veigar Classic guide
The Tiny Maser of EvilA scaling burst mage who turns point-and-click Baleful Strike farming into permanent power and uses instant Event Horizon to define the fight.
How Veigar wins
Veigar values time and controlled space. Secure Q growth, avoid unnecessary early trades and place Event Horizon where it traps movement rather than merely marking the target's current position.

Skin referenceAbilities and practical use
Baleful Strike
Use the Classic point-and-click spell to secure growth and deliver reliable damage.
Dark Matter
Cast into a stunned area or predicted path; without setup the delay is easy to avoid.
Event Horizon
Place the instant cage so the edge cuts off the escape and opens a Dark Matter follow-up.
Primordial Burst
Commit after the target reaches a real kill threshold and avoid spending it into available protection.

Masteries
21 Offense0 Defense9 Utility
A 21/0/9 page supplies full mage damage and mana utility for patient scaling.
Lane and map plan
Q farming
Prioritize Baleful Strike last-hits and preserve enough mana for Event Horizon when jungle pressure appears.
Cage setup
Place the edge across the opponent's escape route, then use Dark Matter and Q during the restricted movement.
Mid-game control
Move with vision, threaten cages in narrow entrances and hold Primordial Burst until a priority target reaches threshold.
Power spikes
Level 3
Q growth, Dark Matter and instant Event Horizon create the first complete setup.
Level 6
Primordial Burst turns a controlled target into a credible kill.
Major ability-power item
Permanent Q growth multiplies the impact of completed damage purchases.
What changes the lane
Immobile mage
Use the instant cage to control the retreat route and stack safely between kill windows.
Long-range artillery
Farm from safe spacing and avoid wasting Event Horizon where no allied follow-up can reach.
Mobile assassin
Keep the cage for the committed dash and build survival if burst prevents Q scaling.
Differences from modern League
- Baleful Strike is point-and-click in this Classic kit.
- Event Horizon appears instantly rather than after a modern delay.
- Equilibrium increases mana regeneration according to missing mana.
