How to win lane as Hwei against Zoe · 49.71% win rate over 1,539 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Hwei | Hwei's longer sustained range lets him control trades from level 1 despite Zoe's own poke tool |
| Level 2 | Hwei | Hwei continues to zone Zoe off comfortable poke range as his kit develops |
| Level 3 | Hwei | Full combo access lets Hwei out-trade Zoe's bubble-poke pattern decisively |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Even — Zoe's burst combo off a landed sleep bubble threatens Hwei's cast time just as much as his poke threatens her |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Even — Zoe's roam-reset mobility for picks is offset by Hwei's stronger zone control and combo punish |
| First item | Hwei | Hwei's poke uptime and combo cast advantage roughly match Zoe's burst-off-sleep threat post-item |
| Two+ items | Hwei | Hwei's ranged CC and combo keep Zoe from freely landing sleep-bubble picks in extended fights |
Levels 1-2 Zoe's Paddle Star poke has awkward range for both of you, so trades stay relatively even until your combo unlocks and gives you the edge.
