Level 2HweiAt 2 your zone damage punishes her attach pattern and threatens the ADC
Level 3Even / skillLevel 3 she perma-attaches and out-sustains your chip, evening the trades
Levels 4-5Even / skillBy 4-5 her heals and Q poke keep the lane skill-dependent
Level 6HweiLevel 6 your R and EE all-in still cracks her carry when you bait the detach
First itemHweiYour first-item burst out-DPSes her heals with zero peel to stop you
Two+ itemsHweiYuumi's lack of lockdown lets your AoE and pick threat rule 2v2 skirmishes

How to beat Yuumi as Hwei: the early game

You beat Yuumi levels 1-2: she has no engage, no lockdown, and can only poke with Q while attached, so you push the wave and threaten her ADC with EE and W bramble. An unattached Yuumi walking up to heal is a free stun target, so punish every detach. She has no engage and no lockdown, so keep the pressure on her carry and take the free farm the lane gives you. Pick the subject before her ADC steps forward. Watch the mana bar, and let a shoved wave rather than a poke exchange be what actually pressures them.
