Veigar

A Yordle Who Outgrew Yordle Magic

Veigar began as a carefree yordle from Bandle City, a hidden homeland that drifts in and out of sight of the mortal world. He was never content with what his people could do. Their magic felt too small to him, so he dug through forgotten scrolls for something far older, sorcery that most others had long since lost track of. Those discoveries changed him into a headstrong, tireless practitioner of the dark arts, one who still hungers to understand the deeper secrets of the cosmos no matter how much he has already mastered.

Evil, By His Own Estimation

Veigar insists he is thoroughly, wholeheartedly wicked, and he appears to relish the title more than he bristles at it. Still, a stubborn sense of right and wrong seems to survive beneath the showmanship, and that makes observers wonder how wicked he really is at heart. His abilities match the act all the same, and they reward careful play over rash aggression. Phenomenal Evil Power, his passive with a deliberately mocking name, becomes permanently stronger whenever he hits a champion with a spell or secures a takedown. Those stacks cut the cooldown of Dark Matter, a ball of dark energy he calls down onto a chosen spot. It hits hard, but a foe who notices the audio and visual warnings in time can dodge it. Baleful Strike passes through the first two enemies it meets and grants him lasting ability power for every kill. Event Horizon folds space into a prison that stuns only those trapped along its outer edge. Primordial Burst is his signature finisher, and it deals more damage the more depleted its target already is. Most would call him one of the frailer mages in Runeterra, so he depends on mana and cooldown reduction to keep his rotation running. Teemo hails from the same corner of the world, though few yordles have taken up Veigar’s habit of collecting forbidden magic.
