Read from Akshan's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Hwei.
This is Akshan's own plan; across 3,593 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Hwei's zero mobility and slow casts give Akshan easy dive windows from level 1 |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Akshan continues to punish his telegraphed combo attempts at level 2 |
| Level 3 | Akshan | Level 3 still favors Akshan as Hwei has no way to escape an engage |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Akshan's pressure stays ahead through levels 4-5 against Hwei's immobile kit |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Fated Camaraderie boosts allied combos but gives Hwei no personal escape, Akshan still favoured |
| First item | Even / skill | Akshan's mobility item spike lets him close distance faster than Hwei can punish |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Hwei remains catchable with zero escape tools, so Akshan's dive potential wins late picks |
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.
