| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Hwei | Hwei: layered combo poke and range dominate Anivia's slow, telegraphed level-1 kit. |
| Level 2 | Hwei | Hwei: continued combo trades outpace anything Anivia can answer with at level 2. |
| Level 3 | Hwei | Hwei: Devastating Fire and Severance combos keep punishing Anivia's lack of ranged answers. |
| Levels 4-5 | Hwei | Hwei: sustained poke and combo damage still edge Anivia's kit through levels 4-5. |
| Level 6 | Anivia | Anivia: Glacial Storm's zone control starts closing the gap against Hwei's combo-reliant kit. |
| First item | Anivia | Anivia: item spike closes the damage gap, letting Anivia trade evenly or favorably post-6. |
| Two+ items | Anivia | Anivia: wall denial of his combo angles plus sustained Storm damage overtakes his burst late. |
Hwei's layered spell-combos give him some of the best poke in the mid lane, and his range plus varied angles let him punish your slow, obvious Q setup at levels 1-2 without much risk. He can weave Devastating Fire and Severance together for chip damage you simply can't answer yet. Play from max range, don't contest waves aggressively, and treat any extended poke war as a loss until you have real answers online — your egg buys time but doesn't erase the damage gap.
