How to Beat Hwei as Ahri (Mid)

The Ahri versus Hwei matchup in the mid lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

The magic damage that Ahri deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Hwei deals primarily magic damage (92.01%), additional magic resistance may be required.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Hwei, ranking 33rd (versus 51st for Ahri) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.4 versus 2.5) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Ahri Mid versus Hwei Mid matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Ahri player to maintain constant pressure on Hwei, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Ahri tips:

  • Use Charm to set up your combos, it will make landing Orb of Deception and Fox-Fire dramatically easier.
  • Initiate team fights using Charm, and chase down stragglers with Spirit Rush.
  • Spirit Rush enables Ahri's abilities, it opens up paths for Charm, helps double hitting with Orb of Deception, and closes to make use of Fox-Fire.

Playing Against Hwei

  • Hwei needs to predict your positioning and take time to cast, catch him by surprise.
  • Hwei's lightning is deadly but slow; it deals more damage when you are alone or unable to move.
  • After Hwei paints a Torment spell he is vulnerable to being rushed down.
