Read from Lulu's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Hwei.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Hwei | Hwei's level-1 QW/QQ range and burst punish any Lulu step-up before you have tools. |
| Level 2 | Hwei | At 2 Hwei's double-cast Severing Bolt out-trades your empowered autos. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 evens out once your E shield and Whimsy can fully negate one Hwei cast. |
| Levels 4-5 | Hwei | Hwei's mana and zoning control at 4-5 push you off the wave and out-poke your shields. |
| Level 6 | Hwei | You lose the level-6 damage race; Hwei's ult plus QQ burst out-threatens your reactive Wild Growth. |
| First item | Hwei | Hwei's first-item poke spike shoves and chunks faster than your shields can stall. |
| Two+ items | Lulu | By 2 items your Wild Growth, Polymorph and item peel out-scale and neutralize his combo. |
Hwei out-ranges and out-damages you at 1-2: his QW/QQ combo punishes any step-up, so you play back, shield your ADC with E, and use Whimsy on yourself to dodge rather than trading autos. Concede the poke, keep your ADC healthy, and don't int a level-2 fight you can't win. He out-ranges and out-damages you in the opening levels, so play back and let your carry take the safe farm. Keep the shield for the chip rather than the burst. Hold the polymorph for the moment he commits a cast, and push the wave rather than answering his poke.
