Early game (levels 1–5)

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.
