Read from Braum's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Hwei.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Hwei | Hwei's level-1 Devastating Fire poke out-ranges your short Winter's Bite. |
| Level 2 | Hwei | At level 2 his QQ-QE combo chunks you and your ADC with no answer. |
| Level 3 | Hwei | By 3 his full poke kit dictates the lane while you can't close distance. |
| Levels 4-5 | Hwei | Levels 4-5 he keeps zoning you with ranged burst you can't trade back. |
| Level 6 | Hwei | His level-6 Spiraling Despair and WE knock-up out-damage and out-range you. |
| First item | Hwei | With first item his poke DPS still out-values your shield and peel. |
| Two+ items | Braum | Late your unmissable stun and knockup lock immobile Hwei for the 2v2 kill. |
Hwei out-ranges you from level 1. His Devastating Fire poke and Severing Bolt follow-up chunk you and your carry while you have no way to reach him, so soak minimal poke, dodge his skillshots, and lean on your ADC to contest his range. His reach beats yours at every level, so hold the shield toward him and let your ADC take the safe farm behind you. Never step forward to trade. Mark him when he has committed a cast, and let your carry rather than your own autos be what completes the stun.
