Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades through superior range and burst potential, as your Q-W combo outdamages Hwei's poke while being easier to land consistently.
- Post-6 you maintain advantage since your R provides immediate teamfight impact while Hwei's R requires setup time and positioning.
How to Trade
- Look for Q stuns on Hwei when he steps up to farm or trade, then immediately follow with W-E for maximum damage before backing off.
- Avoid extended trades since Hwei can kite you with his mobility tools, instead focus on quick burst windows.
Wave Control
- Push waves aggressively with W-E to deny Hwei farm and force him under tower where his waveclear is less efficient.
- Maintain pressure to prevent him from roaming, as your superior waveclear allows you to match his map movements.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q on minions when Hwei is in range to trade, as losing your stun makes you vulnerable to his full combo.
- Avoid fighting in extended trades near his minions where he can use the wave for additional damage and sustain.
