How to win lane as Hwei against Annie · 49.91% win rate over 1,079 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Hwei | Your poke range denies Annie the stacks she needs to threaten a Pyromania stun |
| Level 2 | Hwei | Sustained ranged pressure keeps her on the back foot without a safe engage tool |
| Level 3 | Hwei | Both sides are mechanically even here on landing pokes versus dodging them |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | A stacked stun into Tibbers is a real burst threat your range advantage can't fully prevent |
| Level 6 | Annie | Her all-in kill pressure spikes hard at 6 and can punish careless positioning |
| First item | Hwei | Your poke and defensive stats retake control once her combo alone can't secure a kill |
| Two+ items | Hwei | Zone denial tools keep Tibbers away from your backline, nullifying her teamfight engage |
You control the poke war from level 1: your range keeps her from safely landing the stacks she needs for Pyromania, forcing her into a passive farming pattern where she eats chip damage every time she tries to stack her passive. Keep pressuring — every wasted stack attempt is free value for you.
