How to play as Vex

Stand behind minions but keep some distance so Hwei cannot line up QQ or EQ through the wave, and avoid standing in his QE damage zone.

Use Looming Darkness(E) to trade when Hwei is busy with the wave, and look for Shadow Surge(R) only after Hwei has spent his fear or is low enough for the all-in.

Vex's Shadow Surge(R) gives her a dash onto Hwei on recast, while Hwei's EQ fear can interrupt that follow-up if he keeps the control spell available.

How to play as Hwei

Keep EQ ready while Vex has Shadow Surge(R) available; fear her if she recasts onto you instead of spending your only reliable stop on routine poke.
