Hwei vs Xerath

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 9, 2026

Overview

Use long-range poke and flexible (E) CC to control brush and deny enemy ADC space.
Prioritize protecting your ADC from Xerath's stun (E) and long-range poke (Q).
Leverage your engage and roam potential after wave crashes to pressure mid and river vision.

Trading pattern

Hold (E) CC defensively to counter Xerath's engage or poke attempts.
Engage when your ADC can immediately follow up after your (E) or (R) crowd control.
Deny Xerath brush control to reduce his poke angles and protect your ADC's positioning.

Danger windows

Respect (E) stun as his main self-peel and ADC protection tool.
Beware of (R) ultimate follow-up post-level 6, which extends his poke and pick threat.
Avoid standing in brush or fog where Xerath can land skillshots and stun your ADC.

Early game

Contest level 2 to secure brush control and deny Xerath's poke angles.
Use (Q) and (W) to pressure Xerath's poke and create safer ADC access.
Coordinate wave crash timing with your ADC before roaming to avoid leaving them exposed.

Power spikes

Level 3 grants full spellbook options; use this to vary CC and shields for lane control.
Level 6 unlocks (R) for all-ins; track Xerath's ultimate to time engages or defensive resets.
First completed mage item boosts poke and wave pressure; increase lane control and ADC safety then.

Win conditions

Convert lane control into denying Xerath's ADC access through poke and brush dominance.
Use roam windows after wave crashes to secure river vision and mid pressure.
Set up vision and timing around dragon to leverage your engage and pick potential with (R).

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