Hwei chokes a siege with waveclear and zone control — nothing crosses the line for free. Enough Catch and Attack sits in the kit to punish a caught enemy before the fight starts. Toggles between three stances (Q/W/E) each unlocking three different spells, giving him 9 total spell effects off 4 keys.

Passive lets any two different-ability hits on the same target trigger a bonus explosion, rewarding combo-ing across stances
WW Pool of Reflection is a channeled shield zone that refreshes/strengthens the longer allies stand in it, rather than an instant-cast shield

Dragons & win rate

Win rate when Hwei's team secured at least one of each drake, next to the all-champion rate in that same state. Teams that take dragons are usually already ahead, so every champ wins more with them — the honest read is the gap, i.e. whether Hwei beats the average team that also has the drake. Single-drake samples are thin; treat small counts as suggestive.

Signature of the Visionary

Effect radius: 285

Innate: Hwei's damaging abilities mark enemies hit for 4 seconds. Subsequent damaging abilities against marked targets consume the mark to create an explosion beneath them, dealing 40 – 285 (based on level) (+ 35% AP) bonus magic damage to enemies in the area after a 0.85-second delay.

Targeting input: PassiveAffects: Self, EnemiesDamage type: Area damageDamage sub-types: MagicSpell shield: Blocked

Notes (8)

The ability that consumes the mark cannot apply it on the same cast instance.
The mark cannot be triggered from the same cast instance of an ability, even if the triggering ability was empowered by Stirring Lights.
The explosion occurs around the marked target from where they were when the ability damaged them to consume the mark.
In other words, the explosion is at the location of where they were hit, not where they are at the end of the delay.
The target who had their mark consumed is able to escape the area of the explosion within the delay period.
Enemies can be damaged by multiple explosions at once.
Spell shield will block both the mark and its consumption as well as the detonation.
The indicator for the effect telegraphs an unusually smaller radius than it actually hits.(bug)

Pool of Reflection

Cast time: 0.3Target range: 650Effect radius: 350

Active - WW: Hwei summons a pool of water at the target location, creating a protective zone for 3 seconds that grants him and allied champions a shield at the start of the cast time and for 0.5 seconds while within the area. The shield refreshes and increases in strength by an amount every 0.264 seconds over the duration while they remain in the area.

Initial Shield Strength: 50 / 70 / 90 / 110 / 130 (+ 30% AP)
Bonus Shield per Tick: 8.33 / 11.67 / 15 / 18.33 / 21.67 (+ 5% AP)

Targeting input: LocationTarget out-of-range override: Walk in range of the target location to castAffects: Self, Allies

Notes (5)

The pool is summoned at the start of the cast time.
The maximum shield defines the cap for the strength, and it takes approximately 1.5 seconds to gain the full shield.
The shield will be regenerated back to its cap if it mitigates damage.
The total amount of shield that can be generated given damage mitigated is far greater than this cap.
The initial shield amount is inconsistent due to one or two ticks of the bonus shield being granted on-cast.

Gaze of the Abyss

Cast time: 0.25Target range: 900Effect radius: 350 • 600 • 450Speed: 1700

Active - EW: Hwei tosses an eyeball to the target location. Upon arrival, it expands over 0.2 seconds into a dark gaze that lasts 3 seconds and grants sight of the area. After 0.7 seconds of being placed, the eye locks onto the nearest visible enemy champion or otherwise remains there until an enemy champion is in range. Once locked on, the eye launches itself at the target after a 0.3-second delay and collides with the first enemy hit to deal magic damage, reveal them for 2.5 seconds, and root them for a duration.

Magic Damage: 70 / 110 / 150 / 190 / 230 (+ 65% AP)

Notes (4)

The target that the eye locks onto and launches towards is revealed during the missile's flight.
The lock-on missile's path is indicated by a dashed line.
