| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Hwei | Hwei favoured: no Mantra charge yet means Karma has no sustain answer to your poke and stun. |
| Level 2 | Hwei | Hwei favoured: same read continues, her cooldowns are longer than yours at this stage. |
| Level 3 | Hwei | Hwei favoured: your combo range and burst out-trade her base kit before Mantra comes fully online. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Skill-based: her level-6 Mantra-empowered root is a genuine all-in threat that punishes misplaced Hwei positioning. |
| Level 6 | Hwei | Hwei favoured: your combo damage and range edge return once both sides have ultimates up. |
| First item | Hwei | Hwei favoured: your scaling burst outpaces her utility-focused kit at first item. |
| Two+ items | Hwei | Hwei favoured: she shifts into a support-like roaming role late, ceding lane pressure to you. |
Levels 1-2 you're ahead: your poke range and E stun punish her for approaching to use Inner Flame, and she has no Mantra charge yet to answer with sustain or extra damage.
