His kit is projectiles and yours is a wall — dash the gaps, wall the rotation, and bill the lane for every wave he can't contest.
Track: Hwei's E — Subject: Torment (CC Paints, 12–10s cooldown). All his crowd control lives on the E palette — dodge the fear/root and the burst never chains.
Read from Yasuo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Hwei.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1: even before E, Yasuo's flowing shield and safe last-hitting neutralize Hwei's early poke enough to hold even, edging Yasuo. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2: Yasuo picks up a second point and can already threaten short trades while Hwei's combos are single-spell and dodgeable. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3: E + Q online lets Yasuo weave through minions to dodge every Hwei skillshot, a decisive mobility gap. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Level 4-5: Wind Wall negates Hwei's core poke and combo starters, denying his only way to punish Yasuo. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | First item: Yasuo's crit spike plus Q3 knock-up into R gives him a real kill threat Hwei can't survive. |
| First item | Even / skill | Mid game: Yasuo's roam/dive pressure and W protection outweigh Hwei's slow artillery zoning. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late game: Yasuo flanks and Wind Walls Hwei's zone spells, making the immobile mage a free ult target in fights. |
Yasuo is slightly vulnerable at levels 1-2 before E and Q are both online, so respect Hwei's early poke and last-hit patiently. From level 3 onward Yasuo dashes through the caster minions to dodge Hwei's slow, telegraphed skillshots, and Wind Wall shuts down whichever spell Hwei tries to commit. Bait his cooldowns, then trade on top of him. Track Subject: Torment is 12s at rank 1 and holds all his crowd control — dodge the CC paint and nothing chains.
