Hwei vs Veigar

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on punishing Veigar's low mobility and cage cooldown to deny his stacks.
Hwei wins short trades with poke and controls wave priority to force Veigar under tower.
Veigar scales harder but needs safe farm; use early pressure to delay his item and stack growth.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto and poke Veigar during his last-hit animations when support threat is low.
Use (E) defensive CC options to avoid (E) cage and punish when it is on cooldown.
Avoid extended trades if (E) is ready, as he can trap and burst you with follow-up.

Danger windows

(E) cage ready with enemy support in brush creates lethal all-in threat; respect spacing.
Veigar level 6 with (R) and (E) up can burst if caught in cage; avoid overextending.
Avoid stepping into brush or river zones where enemy support can chain CC after Veigar's cage.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin minions with (Q) poke and deny Veigar safe last hits.
Punish Veigar stepping up for caster minions only if enemy support can't immediately retaliate.
Hold wave near your side to reduce Veigar's cage angles and limit his all-in threat.

Power spikes

At level 6, (R) enables all-in picks or defensive resets; track (R) to avoid burst.
First completed mage item boosts Hwei's poke and wave control, forcing Veigar into losing trades.
Level 3 unlocks full spellbook options; use this versatility to maintain lane control and safety.

Win conditions

Convert poke and last-hit punishment into a CS lead to force Veigar under turret early.
Crash waves after item spikes to secure plates and pressure dragon control with bot priority.
Use level 6 (R) all-in windows to force Veigar summoners or kills, enabling safer scaling and teamfight DPS.
