How it works

  1. You play as Bruiser stacking HP, auto attacking and rushing one specific item. You adapt to enemy team, building tanky items.
  2. You rush Titanic Hydra.
  3. Titanic Hydra can be your only damage item. Then go full tank.
  4. Your auto attacks are quite powerful, thanks to Titanic Hydra and Grasp of the Undying. It's your main source of damage + your abilities.

Playstyle

  1. 🐉

    Rush Titanic Hydra early - it is your core item and defines the build.

  2. ⚔️

    Play aggressive and look for opportunities to stack Grasp of the Undying and to activate your Titanic Hydra.

  3. 💪

    Stack HP and adapt to the enemy team - build Armor, MR or shields/sustain as needed.

How to play

Bruiser 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 Bruiser 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 Bruiser Veigar, it's extremely important to stack and gain AP from Phenomenal Evil Power (Passive). The permanent AP matters in the long run.
  1. This build is focused on a single item - Titanic Hydra.
  2. How is this build different to other bruisers builds? The main difference is item rush order. You rush Titanic Hydra first, then adapt to the situation!
  3. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!
  4. A very effective way of poking enemies is to use Titanic Hydra Active and hit minions in front of them (closer to them, better the effect).
  5. Another effective way of poking enemies with Titanic Hydra, is to hit caster minions in the back. Extra poke when you activate it.

Items

  1. If you want to go more damage, Sundered Sky is an excellent damage item for this build. It scales off your HP (so with Grasp, Overgrowth). It gives damage and pretty good sustain in fights. Remember to switch targets to maximize the effect!

Adaptation

  1. 👊 If ahead, consider adding a second damage item to snowball.
  2. 🏰 If behind, focus purely on being frontline with Titanic Hydra as your only damage.
  3. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.

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.
