Early game (levels 1–5)

Hwei's kit is entirely reliant on landing slow, telegraphed ability combinations, and without mobility to back it up, you can walk up in the windows between his casts and punish him hard. His painting swaps take a beat to execute, giving you free information on what he's about to do. Respect his poke range but keep applying all-in pressure whenever he's mid-combo.
