Kassadin vs Hwei

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Kassadin is a scaling assassin who must survive Hwei's high early poke and control to reach level 6 safely.
Avoid giving Hwei free lane pressure or poke control by managing spacing and wave state carefully.

Trading pattern

Trade minimally before level 6, using Q to block poke and W for short burst trades when safe.
After level 6, use R for short, controlled trades only when you have enough mana to escape.
Punish Hwei if he misuses his E spellbook CC or overextends after poke cooldowns expire.

Danger windows

Pre-6 Kassadin is vulnerable to Hwei's poke and E spellbook fear or root, so avoid all-ins.
Kassadin is in danger when low on mana after repeated R casts with no escape.
Respect Hwei's crowd control windows from Hwei E and R that can lock you down after you Rift in.

Early game

Focus on farming safely near your tower and use Q to absorb Hwei's magic poke.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 when Hwei's poke and crowd control are strongest.
Respect Hwei's high early game agency and lane pressure by minimizing unnecessary damage.

Power spikes

Kassadin's level 6 R unlock is the key spike for mobility and burst trades.
Kassadin's first completed AP item strengthens his sustained burst and trading potential.
Respect Hwei's level 6 Hwei R all-in power and level 3 spellbook unlock for full poke and control options.

Win conditions

Survive early lane pressure and reach level 6 to unlock R for mobility and burst trades.
Use R to flank and punish Hwei when he chooses the wrong E spell or overextends.
Deny Hwei a calm scaling lane by forcing cooldown trades and avoiding poke damage with Q shield.

Tip: For Kassadin vs Hwei, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
