How it works

  1. This build is all about Imperial Mandate and immobilizing your enemies.

Playstyle

  1. ❄️

    Disrupt fights with CC.

  2. 🎯

    Immobilize enemies to proc Imperial Mandate and boost your team's damage.

  3. 🧰

    Adapt to the game and get items to counter enemy team.

How to play

Imperial Mandate Veigar

  1. Your default skill order is maxing Event Horizon (E)! Sometimes, for more damage you can max Baleful Strike (Q) first, but overall E max is much better.
  2. Thanks to your Phenomenal Evil Power (Passive), you have lots of AP, so your abilities still do solid damage.
  3. Your Primordial Burst (R) still executes people, even when playing Imperial Mandate Veigar build.
  4. Do not be shy and do not wait for 'special moment'. You have the best engaging tool available - your Event Horizon (E)!

Stacking

  1. Even when playing off-meta builds like Imperial Mandate Veigar, it's extremely important to stack and gain AP from Phenomenal Evil Power (Passive). The permanent AP matters in the long run.

Core

  1. Your core item is Imperial Mandate, which grants Ability Haste to your immobilizing abilities and marks immobilized targets Vulnerable, so they receive more damage from you and your team.

Runes

  1. Your CC triggers Glacial Augment and Imperial Mandate, slowing the area and making targets Vulnerable.

How Imperial Mandate works

  1. Imperial Mandate grants additional Ability Haste to your immobilizing abilities. Immobilizing an enemy marks them as Vulnerable, causing them to take increased damage from all sources, from you and your team.

Buffing your team

  1. Font of Life heal triggers various support items like Ardent Censer, Staff of Flowing Water or even Moonstone Renewer!
  2. If your team needs sustain, you can even get Diadem of Songs.
  3. If your team has auto attackers, get Ardent Censer. Your Font of Life will buff them constantly.
  4. Bandlepipes is excellent - gives MS and buffs allies' attack speed when you CC/slow enemies.
  5. Staff of Flowing Water is a good item if you have lots of AP scaling champions on the team.

Adaptation

  1. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR items like Kaenic Rookern or Spirit Visage.
  2. Enemy team heavy on AD? Buy Armor items like Thornmail or Randuin's Omen.
  3. Your team lacks damage? You can buy damage items - Liandry's Torment or Blackfire Torch work well.

Tips and Tricks

Riot

  1. Use Event Horizon to increase your chances of landing Dark Matter.
  2. Veigar is extremely Mana and Cooldown Reduction dependent. Try buying items with these stats in order to increase the effectiveness of your passive and Baleful Strike.
  3. Veigar is very fragile. It is valuable to select at least one summoner spell that can be used defensively.
