Hwei lore:

Hwei is a brooding painter who creates brilliant art in order to confront Ionia's criminals and comfort their victims. Beneath his melancholy roils a torn, emotional mind—haunted by both the vibrant visions of his imagination and the gruesome memories of his temple's massacre. Hwei seeks to understand this light and dark, which drives him inevitably toward the artist who unraveled him. With paintbrush and palette, Hwei shapes endless possibilities as he draws ever closer to earning closure or embracing despair.

Hwei tips:

  • Calm down, breathe, and focus.
  • Each stroke requires precision and intention.

Playing Against Hwei

  • Hwei needs to predict your positioning and take time to cast, catch him by surprise.
  • Hwei's lightning is deadly but slow; it deals more damage when you are alone or unable to move.
  • After Hwei paints a Torment spell he is vulnerable to being rushed down.

Hwei abilities description:

Signature of the Visionary
P
Signature of the Visionary (passive)

W

Subject: Torment
E
Subject: Torment (E)
Hwei envisions a series of torments, allowing him to paint controlling visages.

Spiraling Despair
R
Spiraling Despair (R)
Hwei paints a vision of pure despair. The first enemy champion struck becomes the center of an expanding painting that slows and damages nearby enemies. The vision explodes after reaching its maximum size or when the champion dies.
