Mel vs Hwei

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Mel wants to control the lane with poke and hold W to reflect Hwei's key projectile spells for favorable trades.
Mel should pressure to deny Hwei's long-range poke and avoid letting him set up with his spellbook CC and shields.

Trading pattern

Trade by baiting Hwei's projectile spells into W to reflect damage and gain advantage.
Use E to root Hwei before following up with Q for mark pressure, but only when W is ready to block counter-poke.
Avoid committing to trades if W is down or E misses, as Hwei can punish with his poke and CC options.

Danger windows

Mel is vulnerable when W is down, as Hwei can safely poke or engage with his CC.
Missing E roots opens Mel to Hwei's control and poke damage.
Hwei's level 6 R all-in with CC can be lethal if Mel is marked and low health.

Early game

Use Q to poke and apply marks early while holding W to punish Hwei's projectile spells.
Avoid using E unless confident to root Hwei, as missing it leaves you vulnerable to his poke and control.
Respect Hwei's E spellbook CC and play around its cooldown to avoid getting locked down early.

Power spikes

Mel's level 6 R is a major spike when enemies are marked and low health.
Mel's first completed mage item boosts her poke and burst potential.
Hwei's level 3 unlocks full spellbook options, increasing his poke, CC, and shielding threat.

Win conditions

Win by landing E roots to set up poke and mark pressure, then use W to punish Hwei's key projectile spells.
Use R to finish marked, low-health targets after softening them with Q poke.
Deny Hwei's ability to control space by forcing him to waste defensive cooldowns and punishing cooldown windows.

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