Anivia vs Hwei

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on last-hit punishment windows when Hwei walks up for CS under neutral support threat.
Anivia wins extended trades through zone control and waveclear, but Hwei controls early poke range.
Prioritize wave states that deny Hwei safe poke angles and force him to choose defensive spellbooks.

Trading pattern

Use (Q) followed by (E) to punish Hwei stepping up for last hits when support threat is low.
Drop last-hit punish if enemy support controls brush or can instantly trade back after your step forward.
Place (W) to block Hwei's movement and force him into your (Q) stun for safer trades.

Danger windows

Respect (E) crowd control choice and (R) ultimate availability as they enable his all-in threat.
Avoid stepping into enemy support engage range or brush control when (E) CC is ready.
Be cautious when (R) is active, as it zones and slows, increasing his kill pressure.

Early game

Hold the wave near your turret to reduce Hwei's poke angles on caster minions.
Punish Hwei's last-hit attempts on low-health minions only if enemy support can't immediately trade back.
Avoid early extended trades before level 6 as Hwei's poke and crowd control are strong with correct spell choice.

Power spikes

After level 6 and first mana/AP item, Anivia can farm waves freely and pressure trades safely.
(R) at level 6 denies enemy siege and forces picks or fights on her terms.
Track Hwei's level 6 (R) and first completed mage item to avoid overextending during his all-in windows.

Win conditions

Convert lane pressure into CS leads by punishing Hwei's last-hit attempts and forcing recalls.
Use wave crashes after level 6 to threaten turret plates and secure dragon vision control.
Scale into teamfights where Anivia's zoning and AoE damage maximize DPS while limiting Hwei's poke impact.
