How to win lane as Rell against Hwei · 52.95% win rate over 2,153 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Hwei | Hwei's level-1 long-range poke outclasses your melee range with no way to punish him. |
| Level 2 | Hwei | At 2 your W spike still can't close the gap through his EW zone and fear. |
| Level 3 | Hwei | By 3 his Severing Bolt execute and layered poke dominate the trade pattern. |
| Levels 4-5 | Hwei | Through 4-5 he chips you and your ADC down faster than you can engage. |
| Level 6 | Hwei | His level-6 ult pool zones the exact ground you need to land your dismount stun. |
| First item | Hwei | On first item his range and burst keep you permanently spaced out. |
| Two+ items | Hwei | Two items in, his fog burst and zoning still dictate every fight despite your ult. |
Hwei owns the level 1-2 poke war — his Q and E kit chips you from a range you simply cannot answer as a melee engage support. Walk up only behind minions and never facecheck a brush, because his EW self-zone plus QQ fear can chain you into a lost trade. Ward the river early since a roaming Hwei is deadly, and let your ADC farm safe rather than forcing a doomed level-2 all-in.
