Tips Against Hwei in Mid Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
GreenReapers says “Electrocute or Conqueror.
Hwei is too good at proccing your first strike, if played correctly.
Take d-shield to survive early lane, while poking. Hwei has a lot of pressure on you and get's hard to kill once he fully stacks his archangels.
You should look to engage post 6. If his purple is down he has a much harder time to peel you off of him.
Look to dodge his burst with your ult where possible. Voltaic lets you kill him easier due to his lack of mobility abilities, but if you're too behind after a rough early eclipse might be a good choice.”
Halkem says “Really bad matchup. Has so many AOE abilities that you just can't reliably get push against him. He hard outranges you so it's hard to match his trades. A lot of times he can get you in kill range from far away. If you catch him from fog or flash on him with JG he's killable. Just survive as best as you can and look for opportunities to be useful.”
BrMario1011 says “Cancer pdf champ, puts you under your tower, can cancel ur w if hes fast enough, he can escape ganks somewhat, team fights better than you, and does a funny damage early game, late game try ur best to pick him off
Go electrocute second winds, dorans ring and teleport”
Hexeria says “[Will bully you from minute 1.] [Go Dorans Shield + Second Wind] [Dont engage when he has his E, wait for his abilites to be thrown out and quickly kill him] [Buy Tank items with Hollow Radience first.]”
MetalK1d says “Hwei is one of the best bans for Gragas. He has very big damage, high range and can easily cancel your engage. The only way to kill him is to poke him with Qs and engage him with flash so he can not dodge it.”
MelodiesOfLIfe says “Easy to kill and you outrange him.. well most of the time.. He's just like Ahri but very weak and with no dash to hep him escape.”
otaliz says “Hwei is a champion who needs to hit his abilities to deal damage, as they are skillshots. That's why the best way to play against it is with a lot of movement speed, which is why Shurelya's build is a good option against Hwei. Rod of Ages with Celerity and movement speed shard is also good. Control the wave according to the game state until level 6, then start pushing the wave and start looking for roaming opportunities. Buy boots as fast as possible.”
Baxterstein says “One of the few other champs that can match your permapush. But, he goes OOM and you do not. Get demolish procs on his tower when he backs for mana. Your goal here is to keep him under tower while you influence the map (especially helping your jungle snowball), enabling your team to hopefully dogpile onto him in lategame.”
Laimaudeja says “[I would use the Summon Aery page in this lane, and start Doran's Ring.]
Hwei is pretty abusable during laning phase, as you have typically greater range than him and better poke. Keep in mind that you can position yourself around minions to avoid his fireball, fear, and root abilities, and that his pull requires him to get close to you, giving you an easier time to hit abilities on him.”
Yannou-Ari says “Flash - TP - Scaling HP.
I haven't experienced a lot of games agaisnt Hwei yet, however I must say that he's lowkey a mirror matchup for you as Lux. Obviously he has more spells than you which makes him more versatile. After 2 items, he'll be kinda hard to one shot due to his Archangel's shield. Matchup is relying on who will dodge the spells of the other.”
angeLoon says “phase rush and inspiration
or
Electrocute and Ignite
the lane in start is his, but when you have your tear and serrated dirk the matchup turns into you.
poke him with your QE ranged
and try to all in him when he waste his E”
ShokLoL says “Hwei is very strong in lane, but will struggle against you in the mid game. ry position behind creeps so that you can’t get hit by random QQ poke, but far enough away that you have time to dodge the QE + EE combo if he decides to try nuke the wave instead. Hwei is very gankable and can suffer in early skirmishes so if you can ever look for 2v2s or ganks mid it will definitely pay off. ”
ShokLoL says “Hwei is an extremely strong laner but you should be able to get a slight lead against him and then outscale him. Try position behind creeps so that you can’t get hit by random QQ poke, but far enough away that you have time to dodge the QE + EE combo if he decides to try nuke the wave instead. Hwei is very gankable and can suffer in early skirmishes so if you can ever look for 2v2s or ganks mid it will definitely pay off. Rushing T2 boots in this matchup can be useful in order to help dodge his poke.
”
ShokLoL says “Hwei is very strong in lane but you will outperform him in any early skirmishes or teamfights. Try position behind creeps so that you can’t get hit by random QQ poke, but far enough away that you have time to dodge the QE + EE combo if he decides to try nuke the wave instead. Try setup ganks onto him and look to trade whenever his E is down.”
awawa says “A Gloomie wannabe. He can cancel your ult with E-Q, and deal some good damage. He has shorter CDs so make sure you dont waste abilities and let him poke you for free.
Life gets easier once you are 6, after all its just another squishy mage.”
ShokLoL says “Hwei is pretty strong in lane but you should be able to go even, and then you outscale him very hard. Try position behind creeps so that you can’t get hit by random QQ poke, but far enough away that you have time to dodge the QE + EE combo if he decides to try nuke the wave instead. He's also very gankable post 6 so try play for a gank.”
ShokLoL says “Hwei is a very strong laner but Orianna should be able to bully him. ry position behind creeps so that you can’t get hit by random QQ poke, but far enough away that you have time to dodge the QE + EE combo if he decides to try nuke the wave instead. The more QW combos you can get off without taking damage in return the easier this matchup will be.”
MageSept says “Similar to Xerath, take Doran's shield and Second Wind.
Unlike Xerath, he has no mana problem and his cooldowns are low, which makes him harder than Xerath in my opinion, but still easier than Irelia, Zed and Katarina since he has less mobility and shouldn't impact the map as much.”
ShokLoL says “Hwei is an extremely strong laner but you will outscale him. Try position behind creeps so that you can’t get hit by random QQ poke, but far enough away that you have time to dodge the QE + EE combo if he decides to try nuke the wave instead. Be very careful trying to go aggro onto him with melee unless he has already used Q.”
ShokLoL says “Hwei is an extremely strong laner but generally gets outscaled. Try position behind creeps so that you can’t get hit by random QQ poke, but far enough away that you have time to dodge the QE + EE combo if he decides to try nuke the wave instead. Hwei is very gankable and can suffer in early skirmishes so if you can ever look for 2v2s or ganks mid it will definitely pay off.
”
ShokLoL says “Hwei is very strong in lane and can pressure you very hard 1v1, but he's very immobile and you should have no trouble setting up ganks onto him or catching him out of position in teamfights.”
Juon says “Has insane sustain, which is also bursty, and allows him to cc you and shield himself blablablablabla- you get the point. Its just super hard to play against, you have a much better chance trying to kill other laners than this monstrosity. One of the more important champs to have banned.”
Deceiver_euw says “Hwei is currently the strongest lane bully out of any mage into the game and 1v1 LeBlanc will really struggle into him early. Good thing is that hwei is really hard to play well so you will not struggle vs average hwei players. Once the Hwei is really good, its a nightmare. Your counterplay is obviously jungler and support since Hwei is very easy to kill with ganks or burn his flash.
Focus on dodging his spells rather than hitting him with W since his spells hit really hard but are all skillshots which you can dodge with movement and W.”
plankbro says “Hwei is a rough matchup. Mana is but a pittance to this champ and you will be constantly poked in lane. Save your Q+E combo for right after he does a CC ability, because he'll be out of CC for a short window for you to punish him. Pushing is really hard because he gets a lane-wide AoE ability every 5 seconds that zones you from the minions while also damaging your entire wave, so pushing reliably is tough. Trade your deaths for plates and watch out for ganks. Late game Hwei is a threat both to you AND your team, so just focus on your early plate lead and keep an eye out for any teamfights so that you can go and take a tower or two unharassed.”
IggyBoom says “If I could tell which E spell he is using, he'd be a minor matchup, but it is so hard to tell, if he just casually fears you while you are in the w. On the other side, he is still super immobile.”
AnxialSociety says “Electrocute impact eyeball ingenious. Manaflow absolute.
He will try and fear you after you sleep him so you can't combo.
He will trap your movement and R with E-W, which is brutal.
Recommend banshee's. Consider tear.”
Veralion says “Extremely obnoxious. His kit basically does everything; 200 year abomination with few flaws. Shoves you in and spams a billion spells on you while restoring mana on cooldown. You'll take a ton of unavoidable damage. Orange missile and his root->snipe combo are the biggest threats. Both can be blocked by your creeps; it's not intuitive at all, but the root shoots a projectile at you when triggered. Ulting on him will get you feared, ulted, and chunked. Dies easily to a gank, though, so annoy your jungle.”
vSomnia says “Try to trade when he used abilities, he has a lot of utility but kinda low damage so when he missed or uses abilities for farming, go make a trade. If he misses his fear on you he is kinda done for so try to dodge it. Always fight when he has no fear.”
WarwicksSimp says “Decent ban. Need jungle help badly in this matchup otherwise he's gonna heavy outscale you and win teamfights perma, rlly low cds and good wave clear to push into you, he perma has prio.
RECALL FAR AWAY (AT TIER 3 TOWER) ”
MasaruYoni says “If you are against a Hwei focus on farm and trade back when he waste his Q abilities, watch out for his cc abilities, try to bait those (EQ and EE) for more free trades back, he will poke you a lot so try to dodge those”
gaarrett says “Dodge the fireball, don't stand in the lava. Hwei will likely save his Fear for when you E/E2 at him. Poke with Q, stay as healthy as possible. [4/5] ultimate, ranged AOE slow plus the explosion at the end is pretty neat for skirmishes.”
149Gray says “Hide behind minions while not standing too close to them so you don't get hit by his QQ, stay out of the wave when he uses QE, pool his EQ (fear) if you have to, im pretty sure if his EW starts approaching you, it'll hit you even in pool, so if you think you can't get out of it on time, pool in advance, his R is also really easy to pool. Once he gets his first item, he'll just oneshot the wave with QE and do something on the map (if he's good).”
ImVoxxX says “I played probably 2 or 3 games vs Hwei, but he appears to be like Syndra.
Just try to not get poked down in lane and roam when possible.”
XD001 says “While Hwei's early poke can be annoying early, you can consistently chunk him out of lane after first back if he uses his fleeing spell on the wave. Eventually he will be able to 1 shot the wave from under tower so match his shove and look for plays around the map. Late game you wanna get rocketbelt and find flanks to 1 shot him and other squishies.
take Elec + sorcery page”
JackOfAllLanes says “Super nerfed right now and your mobility with W and boots rush should counter his whole champ. Make sure you know what's his root and what's his ult to to flash away at the right time. ”
Coldsong says “Hwei has annoying poke early, but as long as you dodge his QW and his EQ, he is very easy to burst and kill. Stand away from the wave so that he cannot poke you with his QE and farm at the same time, and punish him for using any of his E abilities, as he has no self-peel while they are on cooldown. His ult is very very strong, but is very slow and can be easy to dodge.”
Fuzzmonkey says “Skill matchup. Don't initiate when he has his E up. He can prevent your W by fearing you when you go in. You do have an advantage at level 6 and a better all in. ”
Fuzzmonkey says “Not a huge threat, but just make sure that when you go to engage him that he's already used something from his 'E' book. This will allow you to get a combo onto him without being CC'ed.
At level 6, same thing. His ult doesn't pose much of a threat unless he can combo it with CC.”
Demonsedge90 says “When playing as Syndra, duelling Hwei is a matchup that you can handle easily. You can pressure him and even go all in when he tries to farm or engage in trades with you. However, it is crucial to remember that Hwei might ask for help from their jungle or teammates to keep up or get ahead. Therefore, it is essential to place wards regularly to avoid getting caught off guard and stay safe while keeping up with the game.”
leonidas44 says “You have everything in your kit to harass him and to go all in to him. Dont stay too much away otherwise he will poke you. Going in is the way to play the match.”
Axsanea says “[EN]
Heavy poke, and difficult to reach, but if you find the right moment you kill him pretty easy.
try to stay a little away from the minions so the AOE of his "Q+Q" doesn't poke you down.
[ES]
Heavy poke y difícil de alcanzar, pero si encuentras el momento adecuado, lo matarás con bastante facilidad.
trata de posicionarte lejos de los minions, para que asi su "Q+Q" no te afecte tanto el AOE que tiene. ”
SurferKiller says “Hwei is heavily skill based. Go E Max vs him. He has a fear that he can use very often. That should be your all in ability if he misses it though. Careful with his long range spell.”
KazunaSan says “J'aurais choisis de mettre le match up Even si son fear ne n'annulait pas votre E mais c'est le cas, le champion est très punitif mais tout de même assez squishy, vous pouvez donc le OS (si vous arrivez à l'atteindre)”
Dustyacer says “He has too much range and wave clear. If you hit ult ontop of him it probably doesn't do anything unlike most other control/artillery mages since he can just use EW or EQ to cc you. Definitely one of the harder mages to play against. Save our E for his R detonation post 6. ”
Lindroganti says “Very not cool. Has shields, speedups, and pretty easy to hit cc. Gonna be very hard to catch this guy and he hurts. Make sure to block his R explosion, some of his cc has a windup so you might be able to jump on him before the cc hits you.”
Wizboy73 says “After playing a lot of games into him im ready to judge it. It really depends on the player, if its a good hwei you cannot do much to influence the lane, he can play ultra safe without mana issues. take poke runes or snowball runes. you DO NOT outscale him, he is a lategame monster when his CD's are low. you have a much better midgame however.”
Shinbae says “Редко попадался мне во врагах, одно можно сказать, что очень тонкий и его абилки легко доджаться, тут только ровность ваших рук уже даёт преимущество перед ним”

Tips Against Hwei as a Support Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Abarame says “The poke is annoying and the cc even more so but hes just another mage support. gated by long cooldowns and mana costs, theres no real way you lose to Hwei as Milio. Hes much scarier as enemy mid since if he catches you, you are 100% dead and ur shields will do nothing to save you. Support wise, its a free lane.”
SchloppyPoppy says “Rush MR asap. His range is very annoying early on, and his damage will only ramp up more and more so building MR is key. Don't brainlessly dash into him as he has this stupid ability that will fear you away.”
Thefrenchkefta says “It has a lot of damage, but in lane he is very weak. he doesn't have anything fast to cancel you and you can engage his ADC very easily. The only thing he can do si out damage your ADC.”
Velkyann says “Very dificult lane, he is very strong on the right hands, he has alot of poke and a powerfull burst, the big problem is that he has no cooldown and has a Ability for every situation. Hwei has alot of abilities and most of the things you can do against him is keep range, you can buy Mikael if you want, i also recommend buying Helia if you or your adc is getting poked.”
MorePierogiVanya says “IF you are allowed to get close to him, you can punish him quite well. But with all the range he has, he will very likely not even let you get close or stay healthy. Second Wind is a must here”
Kcmichalson says “[SUP] Hwei lacks the mobility to get out of a bad position, so force him into one if you can. He's incredibly squishy and weak early, so try to pick him off during laning phase.”
sillycatslover says “Hwei is just very bad champ to play as support, has many tools yes but you have to know when to go in and when not, over all very easy match, poke play aggro and dont let him get bonus damage on you from his passive!”
Razing42 says “Against Hwei, you need to focus on not standing too close to minions because of his QQ aoe and punish him if he ever misses or wastes any of his E spells.”
Yoshiking123 says “His range, CC, and adaptability make him tough to play against. The 1 good thing is you can kind of nullify his Ultimate with yours.”
