Hwei vs Akali

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Hwei is a long-range control mage who must use poke and E spellbook CC to control Akali's aggressive all-ins.
Maintain lane pressure to deny Akali safe scaling and prevent her from using W safely for extended trades.

Trading pattern

Trade by controlling space with Q poke and hold E root or fear to punish Akali E engage.
Respect Akali's W as her safest trading window; avoid extended trades when it's active.
Dodge Akali Q to reduce her poke and force her into unfavorable trades where you can respond with E CC.

Danger windows

Akali is most dangerous during Akali W and Akali E recast when she commits to trades.
Avoid all-ins or extended trades while Akali's W is active and energy is available.
Be cautious of Akali's level 6 R burst window; hold defensive E spellbook CC to counter engage.

Early game

Use Q and E spellbook CC to poke and disrupt Akali before level 6.
Avoid committing when Akali has W available; punish her when it is down by stepping forward with poke.
Prioritize wave control to keep Akali exposed and unable to safely engage with E.

Power spikes

Hwei's level 3 unlocks full spellbook options for poke, control, and shielding, increasing lane dominance.
Hwei's level 6 R enables strong all-in setups to punish Akali's mobility.
Respect Akali's level 3 Q-W-E combo and level 6 R as major burst and engage spikes.

Win conditions

Use long-range poke and E CC to control Akali's engage attempts and force her to play reactively.
Punish Akali when her W is down by stepping forward with poke or setting up for level 6 all-ins.
Deny Akali safe scaling by maintaining lane pressure and leveraging your spellbook versatility to adapt to her aggression.

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