Yunara vs Veigar Counter Pick

Yunara holds a 25-unit reach advantage at 575 attack range against Veigar’s 550, and that is close to the only structural edge she keeps. Across 207 recorded games on patch 16.13.1 she converts just 41.6% of them, a losing record the raw stat sheet explains quickly. Vow of the First Lands adds bonus magic damage to her critical strikes, so her profile is physical with a magic rider, while Veigar deals pure magic through Baleful Strike and Primordial Burst. She begins with 30 magic resistance and 590 health; his ultimate scales with missing health, which turns any lost trade into a kill setup rather than a recoverable dent.

The tempo problem is Event Horizon. Veigar’s cage stuns anything crossing it, and Yunara’s escape tools, Kanmei’s Steps for move speed and ghosting or its Transcendent dash under Transcend One’s Self, both need ground to run through. He also moves at 340 against her 325, so disengaging on foot rarely works. An early magic resist component matters far more than raw armor here; his 18 base armor is irrelevant when he never stands inside her range. Rated 7 for difficulty against her 4, Veigar demands more from his pilot, and that execution burden is where the counterplay sits. Full kits sit on the Yunara and Veigar entries.
