Lucian vs Hwei

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Lucian wins short burst trades with support setup before Hwei can use long-range poke effectively.
Control small waves to enable (E) dash trades and punish Hwei's last-hit attempts through minions.
Hwei controls lane with long-range poke and CC, so deny free scaling by forcing early recalls.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto and use (Q) through low-health minions when Hwei walks up for CS, only if enemy support can't punish.
Avoid using (E) forward without support setup or when (E) CC is available to counter-engage.
Trade short burst combos after Hwei misses (Q) poke or uses defensive (E) spellbook options.

Danger windows

Respect (E) spellbook CC (fear or root) as it punishes forward (E) dashes and aggressive trades.
Avoid stepping into enemy support's engage or hook range when Hwei's poke cooldowns are up.
Be cautious when Hwei has full spellbook options and shield from (W), limiting safe trade windows.

Early game

Contest level 2 trades with support cover to leverage Lucian's burst and dash for early lane control.
Use first three waves to thin the wave and create small wave states for quick (E)-based trades.
Punish Hwei when they last-hit caster minions if enemy support is out of position or cannot trade back.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (E) dash and passive burst, enabling Lucian to force early lane control with support help.
First completed marksman item strengthens burst trades, allowing Lucian to force recalls and dragon priority.
Level 6 (R) offers finishing power on targets pushed out, but only use after forcing Hwei out of position.

Win conditions

Convert early burst trades into health leads to crash waves and take turret plates before Hwei stabilizes.
Use lane priority to secure dragon vision and force Hwei under tower, denying safe farm and scaling.
Leverage first item and level 6 (R) to create kill pressure and snowball mid-game tempo advantage.
