Twitch vs Hwei

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Twitch wins by punishing Hwei's overextensions for CS using stealth and poison stacks.
Avoid early direct trades; Twitch scales better into late game teamfights with stealth picks.
The lane favors Hwei's poke and control early, so Twitch needs to manage wave states to create (Q) windows.

Trading pattern

Punish Hwei when he steps up for low-health caster minions if his support can't trade back.
Use (W) slows to stack poison before cashing out with (E) when Hwei stays too long after poke.
Avoid punishing if enemy support controls brush or threat zone; save aggression for stealth windows.

Danger windows

Respect (E) CC choice (fear or root) combined with support follow-up for lethal all-ins.
Avoid stepping into enemy support engage range or brush control when Hwei's poke abilities are off cooldown.
Be cautious after Twitch's stealth (Q) is revealed; Hwei can punish your vulnerability with CC and poke.

Early game

Hold the wave near your tower to limit Hwei's poke angles and reduce his control.
Use caster minion last-hit timings to step forward and punish Hwei only if enemy support can't retaliate.
Avoid pushing early waves to prevent Hwei from zoning you with long-range spells and CC.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) gives Twitch long-range piercing autos to punish grouped enemies; open from stealth or fog.
First completed marksman item enhances Twitch's all-in threat post-stealth; use vision denial to flank.
Hwei's level 6 (R) and first mage item increase his poke and control; respect these windows by avoiding extended trades.

Win conditions

Survive early lane by denying Hwei's CS punish windows and farming safely under threat.
Use stealth (Q) timings with support cover to create picks and force Hwei off waves or recalls.
Scale into teamfights where (R) pierces grouped targets, converting lane pressure into objective control and DPS impact.
