Who Wins
- You win most trades pre-6 with your superior range and Q-W poke combo that Hwei cannot effectively answer.
- Post-6 becomes more dangerous as Hwei gains significant burst potential with R, but you maintain the advantage through range and consistent true damage procs.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is Q-W when Hwei steps up for CS or abilities, using your range advantage to poke without retaliation.
- Look for E setups when he's locked in animation from his abilities, as this can lead to full combo opportunities.
Wave Control
- Maintain slow pushes while poking Hwei off CS, using your superior waveclear to create pressure.
- Keep waves in neutral positions where you can freely poke without overextending, as Hwei's gank setup with W-E is quite strong.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't disrespect Hwei's all-in potential post-6, especially if you're below 70% HP as his R combo can surprise you with its damage.
- Avoid using your E aggressively without vision control since getting caught by his W-E setup makes you vulnerable to jungle ganks.
