How to win lane as Hwei against Kassadin · 53% win rate over 1,366 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Hwei | Hwei favoured: Kassadin has no mana and minimal range, so he cannot contest your poke at all. |
| Level 2 | Hwei | Hwei favoured: same mana/range starvation continues, he's forced into passive farming. |
| Level 3 | Hwei | Hwei favoured: he still lacks Riftwalk and can't threaten your zone control. |
| Levels 4-5 | Hwei | Hwei favoured: Riftwalk is low-impact for damage this early, so your stun-burst combo still wins fights. |
| Level 6 | Hwei | Hwei favoured: his ultimate cooldown and squishiness mean he still can't force a favorable engage on you. |
| First item | Hwei | Hwei favoured: your item spike widens the gap against his mana-hungry scaling requirements. |
| Two+ items | Hwei | Hwei favoured: your longer range and CC keep the matchup in your control even into his scaling window. |
Levels 1-2 you dominate: Kassadin has no mana to trade and his short auto-range means he just eats poke from your Q and E while trying to last-hit.
