Track: Hwei's E — Subject: Torment (CC Paints, 12–10s cooldown). All his CC lives on E — dodge the paint and the burst never chains.
Read from Blitzcrank's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Hwei.
This is Blitzcrank's own plan; across 3,437 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Blitzcrank | You win level 1 because your Q Rocket Grab threatens the squishy immobile Hwei who can't escape. |
| Level 2 | Blitzcrank | You win level 2 as your grab plus E Power Fist burst him before his combo spells are ready. |
| Level 3 | Blitzcrank | You win level 3 because his lack of mobility keeps him in constant danger of your hook. |
| Levels 4-5 | Blitzcrank | You win level 4 since your pick threat forces him back and limits his poke against your duo. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 5 is skill as his W poke and E disengage begin to zone your walk-up grabs. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is even skill because a landed hook kills him but his CC can peel a careless commit. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late game stays skill: one grab deletes Hwei, but his layered poke and disengage kite your all-in when Q is down. |
You win the early lane: Hwei is a fragile, dash-less mage who needs to layer spells for damage, so your level-2 Q Rocket Grab plus E Power Fist knockup punishes any walk-up and a single hook can delete him before his combos come online. He needs to layer spells to do damage, and none of that survives being grabbed. Hold the brush, keep your ADC behind the wave and wait for him to commit a cast. Overdrive covers the ground while he is still in the animation, and the fist stops the escape he does not have.
