Hwei vs Sivir

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Hwei's ability to control space with long-range poke and CC versus Sivir's waveclear and (E).
Hwei wins short trades by punishing Sivir's last-hit attempts when (E) is down and maintaining wave pressure.
Sivir scales better into teamfights, so Hwei must leverage poke and CC to deny farm and force recalls early.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto-attack or poke when Sivir commits to last-hitting low-health minions if her support is not in engage range.
Use (Q) and (E) CC options to control space and punish Sivir after she wastes (E) on non-threatening spells.
Avoid trading when (E) is available, as it negates your key CC and poke, making trades unfavorable.

Danger windows

(E) blocks your key CC or poke spells; avoid committing until it is down.
When Sivir's support controls brush or threat zone, do not attempt last-hit punishment to avoid counter-engage.
(R) can enable her team to engage or disengage quickly; respect her movement advantage during this window.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin the wave and punish Sivir's last hits on caster minions when her support can't punish back.
Hold (E) defensive spells to counter Sivir's engage or poke attempts, reducing her ability to safely farm.
Avoid pushing large waves early to limit (W) bounce angles and reduce her (E) value.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks full spellbook options; use this to adapt (E) for defensive CC and control poke windows.
Level 6 (R) enables all-in setups; track (R) to time engages or defensive resets effectively.
First completed mage item boosts poke and wave control; increase pressure and punish Sivir's weaker pre-item trades.

Win conditions

Convert poke and CC pressure into CS leads by forcing Sivir off the wave and denying safe farm.
Use wave crashes timed with your item spikes to take turret plates and create dragon control opportunities.
Leverage your level 6 all-in threat to force Sivir into defensive recalls, opening map pressure for your team.
