How to win lane as Hwei against Nautilus · 53.01% win rate over 930 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Hwei | Your EQ out-ranges Nautilus's hook at level 1 for the first trade. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At 2 his Q-plus-Titan's-Wrath all-in is a real threat, making it a positioning coinflip. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | At 3 the lane still hinges on whether his Dredge Line lands or you dodge. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through 4-5 it stays even as you trade dodging his hook for his all-in pressure. |
| Level 6 | Hwei | At 6 your R plus kite tools let you out-range every hook attempt. |
| First item | Hwei | On first item your Blackfire burn punishes his no-sustain tank body. |
| Two+ items | Hwei | By 2+ items your zone control kites a poked-out Nautilus with one dodgeable threat. |
Level 1 favors you since your EQ out-ranges his hook, but 2-through-5 is skill-dependent: Nautilus's level-2 Q-plus-W all-in is his one real spike, so positioning behind minions and holding EW to cancel Dredge Line decides every trade.
