How to win lane as Hwei against Azir · 56.75% win rate over 800 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Hwei | You out-poke and out-burst Azir's fragile HP before soldiers threaten trades at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Hwei | Your combo damage and range advantage compounds as you level E and Q first. |
| Level 3 | Hwei | Azir still lacks the soldier count and mana to punish your zoning at level 3. |
| Levels 4-5 | Hwei | Your burst combo remains ahead of his scaling soldier wall through levels 4-5. |
| Level 6 | Hwei | Azir's Emperor's Divide grants a game-changing all-in and disengage tool at level 6. |
| First item | Azir | Azir's item spikes and burst combo outscale your poke on the first big item. |
| Two+ items | Azir | Azir's ultimate becomes a premier teamfight wincon that shuts down repositioning late. |
You out-range and out-burst Azir from levels 1-5 — his soldiers need mana and setup to threaten trades, while your E-Q combo punishes his low base HP hard. Push and poke every wave you can before level 6, and watch for his all-in the instant soldiers are up. Deny his CS by clearing minions with E so he can't build a soldier wall to zone you.
