Playing as Hwei

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Poke with Devastating Fire

    Poke with Devastating Fire (QQ) in lane: the fireball explodes on the first enemy hit and adds damage based on their max health.

  2. Two spells for your signature

    Hit the same champion with two damaging spells: Signature of the Visionary (passive) then leaves a signature beneath them that explodes shortly after.

  3. Pick the right subject

    Pick the subject that fits the moment: Devastating Fire (QQ) for damage, Pool of Reflection (WW) to protect your allies, Crushing Maw (EE) to pull a group together.

  4. Block a path with lava

    Block a chokepoint with Molten Fissure (QE): the line of eruptions leaves pools of lava that slow and damage enemies.

  5. Ult a champion near their team

    Cast Spiraling Despair (R) on a champion surrounded by allies: the vision expands around them, slowing harder and damaging nearby enemies before it explodes.

Playing against Lucian

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Punish his dash

    Punish him after an aggressive dash: Relentless Pursuit (E) has a 16 to 14 second cooldown, only reduced when his double shots hit.

  2. Step back after each burst

    Back off after each of his spells: Lightslinger (passive) doubles the next auto, so his damage comes in short bursts.

  3. Poke him from outside his range

    If your attack range beats his 500 units, poke him from outside it: he then has to use Relentless Pursuit (E) to get back on you.

  4. Drag the game out

    If you survive the laning phase, play for time: Lucian is strongest early and loses impact once everyone has their items.
