Hwei vs Akshan

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Hwei is a long-range artillery mage who must control space and use his versatile E spellbook CC to counter Akshan's mobility and short-range pressure.
Maintain lane pressure to deny Akshan's early roam attempts and avoid letting him bully you in short trades.

Trading pattern

Control space with Q poke and hold defensive E CC to interrupt Akshan's E engage.
Punish Akshan when he uses Akshan E forward and misses or is interrupted.
Use W shield options to mitigate short trades and survive his burst attempts.

Danger windows

Akshan's Akshan E is a major threat; respect and punish when missed.
Akshan R at level 6 can burst you; avoid extended trades when it's up.
Akshan W camouflage enables roams; hard push and ping danger when he leaves lane.

Early game

Use Q and E CC options to poke and control Akshan's positioning before level 6.
Prioritize choosing the correct E spell to disrupt Akshan's engage attempts with Akshan E.
Avoid extended fights if you misjudge E choice, as Akshan's short trades and mobility punish mistakes.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks full spellbook for poke, control, and shield options; use this to dominate trades.
Level 6 R enables all-in kill pressure; look for combos when Akshan's mobility is down.
Respect Akshan's level 2 Q plus E or W utility power spike for early short trades.

Win conditions

Use long-range poke and E CC to control Akshan's short-range aggression.
Punish Akshan's missed Akshan E with immediate counter-engage or poke.
Reach level 6 and item spikes to execute all-in combos with R and deny Akshan's roam impact.

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