Lucian vs Hwei

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use early burst trades with support setup to punish Hwei's reliance on spellbook choices.
Avoid extended fights where Hwei's long-range poke and CC can zone you out.
Deny Hwei's ability to control the wave with consistent (Q) poke through minions.

Trading pattern

Trade quickly after support enables burst and before Hwei uses (E) CC or poke spells.
Use (E) to dodge key (E) spellbook CC or poke, then follow up with (Q) and passive shots.
Avoid trading into large waves to prevent minion damage and extended poke from Hwei's range.

Danger windows

Respect (E) spellbook CC when it's available; avoid dashing forward without cooldown advantage.
Avoid overextending when (R) is up, as it enables strong all-in or pick potential.
Be cautious if your support cannot help start trades, as Hwei's poke and CC punish isolated engages.

Early game

Contest level 2 with support to force short trades before Hwei stabilizes with spellbook options.
Thin waves early to create small wave states that let you dash in and out safely.
Reset timing should align with first item spike to maximize burst threat before Hwei's poke scales.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your dash and passive burst, enabling strong early trades to snowball lane.
First completed marksman item amplifies burst trades, forcing Hwei to respect your all-ins.
Level 6 (R) allows finishing off targets pushed out by your short trades or support engages.

Win conditions

Use early lane pressure and support setup to deny Hwei free scaling and force recalls.
Convert short burst trade windows into lane control and mid-game tempo advantages.
Punish Hwei's cooldowns and spellbook misplays by crashing waves and forcing resets or roams.
