Who Wins
- You lose levels 1-3 due to Hwei's range advantage and lack of gap closers, focus on farming safely and avoiding poke.
- At level 6, you gain significant kill pressure with R if you can get on top of Hwei, especially if he wastes his E ability.
How to Trade
- Your trading pattern revolves around waiting for Hwei to use abilities on minions, then using E on a minion near him followed by Q-W combo.
- Always ensure you have an E reset available through minions or daggers before committing to trades.
Wave Control
- Allow Hwei to push early and farm safely under tower where his poke is less effective.
- Look for roam opportunities after level 6 since Hwei struggles to match your mobility and impact on sidelanes.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to force trades when Hwei has his E available - wait for him to waste it or use minions to position around his escape routes.
- Avoid fighting in open areas where he can easily kite you with his range advantage.
