| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Hwei | Hwei starts ahead because his Q pool out-ranges your Hook and free-pokes you at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | By level 2 your Flay pressure offsets his poke, leveling the trade. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | At 3 the lane is even as Hook-through-minions answers his Severing Bolt. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through 4-5 neither support snowballs; poke versus punish cancels out. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 The Box and his E-disengage trade evenly, keeping it skill-based. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item leaves it even since his poke and your all-in threat scale together. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | With 2+ items it stays skill-decided on who lands their key spell first. |
Hwei out-ranges your Hook at levels 1-2 and chips you with his Q pool the moment you step to last-hit range, so you start behind and must respect his poke corridor before you find a fastball.
