Game plan for Hwei
Early game
Space around your main skill’s cooldown. Use a successful control or slow to make the next spell easier, rather than spending the whole rotation into a miss.
Team fights
Keep enough distance to cast again. Aim area spells where opponents must move around an objective and use control to protect your casting position.
Mistake to avoid
Using your only defensive control on poke before an enemy engages.
Learn Hwei abilities and prepare your first games. Find builds for each supported role.
Learn the champion’s kit
In the practice tool, cast each ability separately and check its range, targeting and effect. Read the passive before practising a sequence: it can change how attacks and spells work together.
P · Signature of the Visionary

Practice before ranked
First test each spell against a target dummy. Identify the skill you need to escape or survive before spending it offensively. Check alternate forms or empowered casts in the game too. Practise a sequence slowly, then repeat it while moving.
Before you engage
Check the enemy’s control and escape spells, your health and resources, ally position and retreat path. An available ultimate is not by itself a reason to commit.
Review your first games
Review one missed spell, one unnecessary death and one lost objective. Practise the specific mistake before adding complex sequences. Start with the role you intend to play.
Choose your role and build
Compare the build, rune page, skill priority and matchups for your role. Later purchases depend on the enemy team.
These guides explain gameplay basics. Build pages contain the selected patch, role and rank statistics.
