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 Sivir

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her blade's return too

    Dodge Boomerang Blade (Q), then its return: it damages on the way out and on the way back, and it costs Sivir a lot of mana.

  2. Pop her shield first

    If you have CC, cast a cheap spell first, or fake a step forward: Spell Shield (E) only blocks one ability, and heals her if it blocks.

  3. Back off when she casts On The Hunt

    Back off when she casts On The Hunt (R): her whole nearby team gains move speed to engage on yours.

  4. Don't let her push alone

    Don't leave her alone on a lane for too long: with Ricochet (W), her autos bounce between minions, and your wave, then your tower, fall fast.
