How it works

  1. You rush Iceborn Gauntlet.
  2. You play as Tank, but with focus on kitting the enemy team and utility for your team.
  3. You disrupt fights with CC, soak damage, peel off your carries or initiate for your team.

Playstyle

  1. 🧊

    Rush Iceborn Gauntlet to slow and kite the enemy team.

  2. 🛡️

    Disrupt fights, create frozen pools, provide utility. All while soaking damage for your team.

  3. 🧰

    Adapt your tank items based on the enemy composition, so you can counter them.

How to play

Iceborn Gauntlet 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 Iceborn Gauntlet 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 Iceborn Gauntlet Veigar, it's extremely important to stack and gain AP from Phenomenal Evil Power (Passive). The permanent AP matters in the long run.

Getting started

  1. You rush Iceborn Gauntlet #1, then you need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
  2. You can rush Imperial Mandate #2 if you can afford it, this makes this build more fun. However, if you are behind, it is okay to just skip it.

During fights

  1. There's great synergy between Iceborn Gauntlet + Imperial Mandate + Font of Life. You create frozen pools that will persist for a few seconds, slowing enemies, applying Imperial Mandate debuff + Font of Life heal mark for your allies.

Items

  1. For more utility oriented build, you can get Locket of the Iron Solari (sustain) or Shurelya's Battlesong (engages).

Runes

  1. Triumph rune is better overall (heal and gold), but if you want to have easier time with your mana, go Presence of Mind.
  2. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!

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.
