Hwei vs Veigar

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Hwei is a high agency artillery mage who must pressure Veigar early to deny his calm scaling and stack farming.
Use long-range poke and E spellbook CC to control the lane and prevent Veigar from safely farming near Veigar E.

Trading pattern

Trade when Veigar E is on cooldown to avoid his stun and burst follow-up.
Use E spellbook CC defensively to interrupt Veigar's all-in attempts and punish his immobility.
Force Veigar to step forward into your poke range, then capitalize on his cooldown windows with Q and W.

Danger windows

Veigar is dangerous when Veigar E is available to trap and stun for burst combos.
Avoid committing when Veigar reaches level 6 and can execute with Veigar R after Veigar E.
Be cautious if Veigar pushes wave too far and sets up Veigar E near your turret, limiting your poke safety.

Early game

Aggressively poke with Q and W to disrupt Veigar's farming and force him to use Veigar E defensively.
Choose the E spellbook root or fear to punish Veigar's predictable positioning and prevent him from setting up Veigar E.
Avoid giving Veigar free stacks by maintaining lane pressure and controlling wave position near your side.

Power spikes

Respect Veigar's level 6 spike with Veigar R execute burst combined with Veigar E stun.
Hwei's major spikes are level 3 for full spellbook options and level 6 for R all-in potential.
First completed mage item enhances Hwei's poke and burst, increasing lane pressure significantly.
