Hwei vs Viktor

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Hwei is a high agency artillery mage who must pressure Viktor early to deny his scaling and prevent calm farming.
Use long-range poke and E spellbook CC to control lane space and avoid giving Viktor passive scaling windows.

Trading pattern

Trade by controlling space with Q and holding E spellbook CC to punish Viktor's engage attempts.
Punish Viktor when Viktor W is down or poorly placed to force him into unfavorable trades.
Respect Viktor Q shield and Viktor W slow/stun by avoiding extended trades when these are available.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Viktor's Viktor W is up as it zones and stuns after delay.
Avoid all-in trades if you have the wrong E spell choice or if Viktor's Q shield is active.
Viktor is vulnerable if Viktor W is down or poorly placed; use this to punish aggressively.

Early game

Use Q and E spellbook CC to poke and disrupt Viktor's attempts to safely farm with Viktor E.
Avoid committing if you choose the wrong E spell as Viktor can punish fast all-ins.
Prioritize level 3 to unlock full spellbook options for poke, control, and shielding.

Power spikes

Hwei power spikes: level 3 full spellbook access, level 6 R, and first completed mage item.
Respect Viktor power spikes: level 6 Viktor R and first completed mage item with ability evolutions.

Win conditions

Win by using long-range poke and E CC to deny Viktor safe farming and scaling.
Set up level 6 all-in with R after controlling lane with poke and CC.
Exploit Viktor's immobility and vulnerability to hard engage by choosing the right E spell and punishing cooldowns.

Tip: For Hwei vs Viktor, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
