| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Hwei | Hwei-favoured: his QE Devastating Fire outranges you at level 1 and you have no cage to answer. |
| Level 2 | Hwei | Hwei-favoured: at level 2 his QQ execute and QE poke chunk you while you can only farm with W. |
| Level 3 | Hwei | Hwei-favoured: he gets a full spell suite to poke and disengage before your cage is a threat. |
| Levels 4-5 | Hwei | Hwei-favoured: his EW zone and W lights keep the wave and your E away through Levels 4-5. |
| Level 6 | Hwei | Hwei-favoured: even with your R his EQ and EW disengage tools let him dodge the combo, keeping him ahead. |
| First item | Even / skill | Skill/even: your first item lets you finally combo, but his poke and zoning still make cages a coin-flip. |
| Two+ items | Veigar | Veigar-favoured: two items plus stacked Phenomenal Evil means one E-Q-R chain deletes him before his poke matters. |
You cannot trade into Hwei at Levels 1-2 — his QE poke outranges your auto and you have no cage, so last-hit with W, hold your E, and soak the harass while you stack.
