How to win lane as Vex against Azir · 60.69% win rate over 407 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Vex | Azir is a weak, short-ranged laner at level 1 before he stacks soldiers, so you own the opener. |
| Level 2 | Vex | At 2 his soldier is still fragile and low-range, letting your empowered Q out-trade him. |
| Level 3 | Vex | By 3 you can W-in or Q-poke faster than his soldier DPS ramps, keeping you ahead. |
| Levels 4-5 | Vex | Levels 4-5 he still lacks the range to punish your walk-ups, so you dictate the trades. |
| Level 6 | Vex | Your level 6 pick threat with R matches his, so you stay favoured entering the ult phase. |
| First item | Even / skill | At 6 Emperor's Divide neutralises your R engage as much as it saves him, making it a pure skill matchup. |
| Two+ items | Azir | Two items in, stacked soldiers out-range and out-DPS everything you have, flipping the lane to Azir. |
You crush the opening levels — Azir is a stacking champion who is weak and short-ranged before his soldiers come online, so punch him with empowered Q and W (Personal Space) burst every time he steps up to CS.
