Vex vs Azir

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Vex is a burst anti-dash mage who must use her passive fear to control Azir's mobility and pressure the lane early.
Prioritize denying Azir a calm, scaling mid lane by forcing trades and punishing soldier setups before he can safely farm.

Trading pattern

Use Q and passive fear to win short trades and proc electrocute before Azir can reposition soldiers with Azir Q.
Punish Azir if he commits Azir E forward without a safe escape by following up with E slow and burst.
Respect Azir R and soldier zones; avoid all-ins when Azir R is up and soldiers control space.

Danger windows

Azir is dangerous when soldiers are well positioned and Azir R is available to disengage or isolate.
Avoid all-ins when Azir has Azir R and Azir E ready, as his mobility and displacement can punish you.
If Vex fails to land her passive fear or R is down, she becomes vulnerable to Azir's all-in or poke.

Early game

Use passive Doom fear to start trades and punish Azir when he mispositions soldiers or uses Azir E aggressively.
Pressure the wave early to disrupt Azir's stable farming and prevent him from placing soldiers effectively.
Avoid extended fights when Azir has soldiers positioned well and Azir R ready to disengage.

Power spikes

Vex's major spikes are level 6 R for engage and reset, and first AP burst item for kill pressure.
Respect Azir's level 6 Azir R for disengage and displacement.
Azir's first completed mage DPS item increases soldier threat; pressure before this spike.

Win conditions

Win lane by using passive fear to force Azir out of position and deny safe soldier placement.
All-in or reset with R after forcing Azir to use Azir E or Azir R defensively.
Maintain lane pressure to prevent Azir from safely farming and scaling into his DPS power spikes.
