How to win lane as Nami against Hwei · 49.78% win rate over 4,273 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Nami | Nami's level-1 harass with E and auto-weave beats Hwei's clunky single-spell trades. |
| Level 2 | Nami | At 2 your Aqua Prison all-in threatens a kill before Hwei's full kit exists. |
| Level 3 | Nami | At 3 you still out-trade him in the short range where his combo isn't set up. |
| Levels 4-5 | Hwei | Levels 4-5 Hwei's complete spell suite out-ranges and out-pokes your single-target kit. |
| Level 6 | Hwei | At 6 Hwei's ult zones and layered casts overpower your point-and-click lockdown. |
| First item | Hwei | At first item Hwei's poke and zoning snowball the mid-game lane state. |
| Two+ items | Nami | With 2+ items Nami's R+Q engage and peel scale past Hwei's zoning. |
You own the first three levels: Nami's level-2 all-in with Aqua Prison plus an E-empowered auto from your ADC out-trades a single-target Hwei who hasn't assembled his combo yet. Dodge his telegraphed Q-subject casts, hug the wave, and look to bubble him the instant he steps up to poke.
