Read from Taliyah's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Hwei.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Hwei | Hwei's QW missile out-ranges your Q and his passive marks punish your farm at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Hwei | With two spells online Hwei zones you off the wave with EW/WW pools while you only have Q poke. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Your full Q-E-W combo unlocks and worked-ground Q lets you shove and poke him out of range. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | You out-shove him and can W-E him into a knockup whenever he steps up to CS. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Both ults are pure utility (your Wall roam vs his EW zone), so the level is even. |
| First item | Even / skill | Even farming race-your waveclear against his layered poke, neither snowballs cleanly. |
| Two+ items | Hwei | Hwei's three-in-one zone control and burst scale harder into teamfights than your one knockup. |
Hwei out-ranges you at levels 1-2: his QW (Severing Bolt) missile out-distances your Q and his passive marks let him punish your last-hits, while a second spell online lets him zone you with pools before your kit is stacked. Track Hwei Subject: Torment (E): matchup-defining — 12s at rank 1, and all his CC lives on that palette: dodge the fear/root and the burst never chains. His Serenity shield is an 18s cooldown — force it before committing.
