Hwei vs Samira

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Hwei's ability to use long-range poke and (E) CC to deny Samira's dash engages.
Hwei wins extended trades and wave control, while Samira thrives in short, support-enabled all-ins.
Hwei benefits from thinned waves near his turret to punish Samira's low range and force resets.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto and poke Samira during her last-hit animations only if enemy support can't trade back.
Use (E) root or fear defensively to interrupt Samira's dash and punish her if she overcommits.
Avoid punishing when enemy support controls brush or can immediately follow your step forward.

Danger windows

Samira's all-in threat spikes when her support lands CC enabling her (E) dash reset.
Avoid trading when (W) projectile block is up, as it negates your poke and sets her for engage.
Be cautious stepping forward if enemy support controls brush or can immediately punish your positioning.

Early game

Use level 1-3 to thin waves with (Q) and (W) to reduce Samira's dash windows.
Punish Samira's last hits on low-health caster minions if enemy support is out of position.
Hold wave near your turret early to limit Samira's engage angles and reduce her (E) threat.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks full spellbook, giving Hwei versatile poke and defensive (E) options to control Samira's engage.
First completed mage item boosts Hwei's poke damage, making Samira's short trades riskier.
Level 6 (R) enables Hwei to threaten all-ins or escapes, forcing Samira to play around your ultimate cooldown.

Win conditions

Convert poke and (E) CC into health leads to force Samira under turret and deny her CS.
Use wave crashes after first item to take plates and control dragon vision.
Leverage level 6 (R) for picks or safe resets to snowball lane priority into teamfight DPS windows.
