The chaos continues in Doom Bots with patch 25.18 bringing the second Trial of Doom plus a wide set of balance changes, bug fixes, and bot-specific nerfs. Here’s everything you need to know about Veigar’s latest curse.
Trials of Doom – Veigar’s Curse
The second trial in Doom Bots is live, and it’s Veigar’s Curse. Here’s what’s changing in this round:
- Bots are buffed just below Hard queue difficulty.
- Level cap for both players and bots increased to 30.
- Bots gain 100% bonus experience.
- Players can match this with Veigar’s Talisman of Ascension, an item that grants 100% bonus XP but no stats. Once you hit level 30, the talisman transforms into a stronger item.
- Additional minions spawn in all lanes later into the game.
- Veigar now wields Liandry’s Torment, making his attacks burn harder.
Veigar’s Curse goes live September 10 at 8:00 AM PT (15:00 UTC).
Balance changes
- King of the Hill mission: reduced number of bots defending, disabled teleport for Doom Bots during the event, increased value of points scored by players, reduced maximum penalty for losing.

- Aurelion Sol: removed cooldown increase on E – Singularity.
