The brutal warlord Mordekaiser and his armies swept across the lands, crushing and enslaving any who would oppose his rule, and the mages of the order-unskilled in war-were of little value to this tyrant. They did not think to question this eager newcomer, and he taught them to draw hope from the patterns created by the movements of the stars.īut while many toiled to rebuild the world, others sought to conquer it. Imagining himself already a master of these mystical arts, the yordle joined an order of mages in the Noxii territories, hoping to learn more of their craft. Scattered survivors looked to the heavens, and their renewed study of ancient celestial magic piqued Veigar’s interest. Among them is the sorcerer Veigar.Īfter the Great Darkin War left the world in ruin many centuries ago, the only light that seemed to shine on Valoran came from the skies above. Yet, sadly, there are also those yordles who lose their way.

While these curious creatures often leave to dwell among mortal races for a time, they generally return with fresh tales and new experiences to recount. Their fabled home of Bandle City is said to be a mysterious, spiritual place, filled with odd trinkets and keepsakes gathered from across the material realm.


Now a stubborn creature with the dark fury of the stars at his command, Veigar is often underestimated by others-and though he believes himself truly evil, there are some who still question his deeper motivations…įor most of the peoples of Runeterra, yordles are not typically something to be feared. As a free-spirited inhabitant of Bandle City, he once longed to learn more of the celestial magic practiced by mortals, but his natural curiosity was twisted by imprisonment in the Immortal Bastion. Veigar and his many minions will officially join the game when the new expansion drops on August 25.An enthusiastic yordle sorcerer, Veigar has embraced powers that few others dare even approach. Wizened Wizard (yordle, 3 mana) - Round Start: Refill 1 spell mana.Twisted Catalyzer (yordle, 2 mana) - Strike: Grant your Darkness everywhere 1 extra damage.Tenor of Terror (yordle, 4 mana, impact) - When I’m summoned, if you’ve played a created card or killed a unit with a spell this game, summon a Bass of Burden.Darkbulb Acolyte (yordle, 2 mana, augment) - Create Darkness in hand if you don’t have one when summoned.Event Horizon (spell, 5 mana, fast) - Stuns an enemy, then stun all enemies with 2 or less power.When Veigar levels up, he becomes Grand Overseer Veigar! At this point, his Darkness cards gain the ability to target anything - that means Veigar can attack his opponent’s Nexus directly, even when they have active champions played! Remember that the Darkness cards in your hand grow stronger as each round goes on, so Veigar can unleash the mighty darkness for massive damage! He also has many support cards that can help him create Darkness cards if he doesn’t already have one. Veigar’s Darkness cards costs 3 mana to play, and they deal 2 base damage to an enemy while also slowing them. Related | Legends of Runeterra: The Best Common Cards
