Why this duo works

Veigar's Event Horizon(E) stuns enemies who cross its perimeter, and Pyke can pull a target across a cage wall with Bone Skewer(Q). That turns Veigar's zone into reliable setup for Pyke's follow-up and execute.

Playing the duo

Event Horizon(E) stuns enemies who cross its perimeter, so Pyke's Bone Skewer(Q) can pull a target through a nearby cage wall and trigger the stun.

Pyke's Death From Below(R) can finish a target Veigar has damaged and grants additional gold to an ally who assists the execute.

How to play as Veigar

Place Event Horizon(E) so Pyke can pull a target across one of its walls with Bone Skewer(Q), rather than putting the target safely inside the cage.

How to play as Pyke

Coordinate your Bone Skewer(Q) with Veigar's cage: pull through its perimeter to trigger the stun, then use Phantom Undertow(E) or Death From Below(R) to finish the pick.
