Vayne vs Hwei

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Vayne wins by punishing Hwei's short-range CS attempts with (Q) autos and spacing to avoid poke.
The lane turns on denying Hwei safe long-range poke and exploiting his lack of mobility for wall (E) stuns.
Vayne benefits from wave states that allow safe farming and last-hit punishment without overextending.

Trading pattern

Punish Hwei when he steps up for last hits by using (Q) to reposition and auto before he can trade back.
Only take last-hit punishes if enemy support cannot immediately follow or zone you from trading.
Hold (E) to (E) Hwei into walls after he commits with (E) root or fear, turning his poke into an all-in opportunity.

Danger windows

(E) root or fear combined with support follow-up creates lethal all-in windows; avoid stepping forward during these.
Losing brush control or stepping into enemy support's engage zone opens you to quick trades and poke from Hwei.
Pushing the wave without vision invites poke and potential all-ins from Hwei and his support.

Early game

Use the first three waves to hold the wave near your side and punish Hwei's low-health caster minion CS attempts.
Avoid pushing without vision to prevent Hwei's support or poke from punishing your (Q) forward.
Track support brush control to know when you can safely step up for last-hit punishments.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) lets Vayne stealth reposition with (Q), enabling safer all-ins and outplays against Hwei's poke.
Two-item spike greatly increases Vayne's true damage, allowing her to pressure side lanes and punish Hwei if isolated.
Respect Hwei's level 6 (R) ultimate window to avoid his all-in or poke burst before committing to trades.

Win conditions

Convert punished CS attempts into health leads and crash waves to threaten turret plates and recalls.
Use side-lane pressure after two-item spikes to force Hwei's team into numbers, creating favorable duels.
Scale into late game where Vayne's true damage and mobility outmatch Hwei's control mage poke in teamfights.
