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 Ziggs

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Walk around his mines

    Walk around Hexplosive Minefield (E): each mine explodes on contact and slows you, which helps him land his other spells.

  2. Engage after his Satchel Charge

    If you can engage, go in right after Satchel Charge (W): it's his only way to get away, on a 20 to 12 second cooldown.

  3. Get out of the center of his bomb

    If Mega Inferno Bomb (R) lands on you, at least get out of the center: the center of the blast deals more damage than the edge.
