How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge his E root

His E is very long-duration CC — rooted, you can't press W to disappear and you get oneshot, so find a way to dodge it.

Punish a wasted E

Whenever he wastes his E, walk up and trade — levels 4-7 are your best windows and he's very diveable, especially on cannon waves.

Body-block the wave

Put yourself between Hwei and the minions so he has to fight to CS — otherwise he just oneshots the wave from range.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never get caught by his E root with your W down — rooted, you can't shroud away and he oneshots you.
