there's a combo that does massive AOE damage, R QE EE, you time the EE when they want to run away from the AOE procs from your Ultimate. In general, the guide is good for starters. One thing I could add is that Chinese player, Ziyu, 1500+ LP Super Server, and streamers like Azzap are opting to build second damage item with Horizon Focus. This not only increases Hwei's damage signicantly with Liandries, but it also give much needed CDR for the champion.
with regards to 13:25 I would recommend just using the option replace quick cast with quick cast with indicator. If you click an ability and hold it; it would show the indicator and releasing the button cast it. to cancel the casting of the ability you just right click. it takes all the pros of both regular cast and quick cast. With Hwei its an amazing tool
quick cast on indicator does slow down your combos, since the skill goes off on button release rather than button press. I would argue that using shift or crtl modifer for quick cast with indicator is a better strategy so you can still combo at max speed when you need to.
yes, dont use quick cast with indicator you gonna regret it one day. Better bind a key like "alt + Q" "alt + R" for when u need to be precise. cause the power of this champ is the combos and like said before indicator slows ur combo, delaying your inputs.
i recommend getting electrocute over arcane comet, u only rly need to land 2 abilities to proc it because the passive proc counts as the third spell damage instance, and u basically turn into a burst dmg assasin that can 1v1 anyone
Root duration isn't that long anymore; he recieved a lot of nerfs before going live. Lightning also doesn't do enough damage to steal objectives anymore.
@@AnimeArtistic i meant it does less damage than smite so it's not practical especially since the cast gives long enough for the enemy to react and use a faster secure
I've really enjoyed him top lane. I don't know if it's just a bias as a top lane main, but I find the slower back and forth of top lane dynamics suit Hwei's more 'thinking man's' kits.
The only cd worth checking for @3 is honestly if hwei Q stuff are up. Thats the only cooldown i play around. Then again melee vs hwei is a nightmare without 4 dashes
@@RealShojin yeah tbh it's on me for not knowing what he does yet but fr it wasn't a fun lane lol. I got stuck going mid because quick play is full of trolls and bots which often leads to the bots just going wherever. I had a Lucian and Ashe just following me to top lane and refused to leave. Lux was 2v1 bot and the jg just power farmed but by then the top lane had 12 deaths by 10 minutes so it was just a tilting game over all.
bro ee is way better than ew in team fights, ee + qe can proc passive on multiple enemies, which is an aoe, so just pressing qe ee can double or triple the passive damage proc to every enemy you hit depending on how grouped up they are
the flaw in skill capped is that the 5 division promise does not exist in masters and above so anyone using it at those ranks technically cant or wont pay and i can bet you that you cant guarantee a masters players hitting challenger after using your course
If you already got masters/gm u should realize that climbing isn't about your champion or your combos. These guides are for casual players(99% of players) You wont ever reach top 0.1% in any game by random yt guides.
@@gbp76gru89 thats exactly the point lmao. this subscription promises a 5 division climb guaranteed. any player in diamond+ will get their money back then
This looks like it isn’t for live servers. His EW can’t root minions and his kit seems to be optimized for the new items after this season. But aside from those, the combos are very useful and practical. thank you very much!
the projectile only spawns for champions obviously, but it is blocked by minions and pets which sucks it is stupid, and i hate it, and if riot makes the ability champs only i will cry out in joy
Hwei's winrate is so low that Skillcapped made a video to at least inform the general public and to potentially increase it's winrate. Hwei's is going to be scary in the hands of a pro and one trick sure.
@@Da5thProjectu understand that most champs are not to be picked into comps with certain elements right? U dont pick assassins into tanky comps with a ton of cc, or squishy mages into high hard engage like malph zac, or kassadin into a full AD comp. Its literally part of the game. Just like asol, u dont pick him into a high threat high mobility comp or ur signing up for a rough time
Depends, it's difficult to exhaust champions that are either invisible or invulnerable at some point (like zed, fizz, khazix, talon). Barrier is more reliable overall
@@Isnotnovember i mean, barrier is only at max what, 450 health? Assassins are doing double your health pool overkill, I'm pretty sure they can one shot through barrier too
@@ceetee3370 both spells are early game oriented, if an assassin can overkill you at any point you should buy zhonyas/banshee/seraphine, not only rely on barrier/exh I hope it helps :D
@@ceetee3370 I'm not saying is useless in late game, but is has more impact early game. If you want to take exhaust go for it, both have pros and cons but barrier is more reliable, more on hwei that you shouldn't be near the mele assassins It all depends on the match up, normally your support brings exh VS assassins so there's no point stacking it, but if you match with a Katarina it's a good pick. Also barrier has 30 seconds less CD than exh and has no range cause is self cast Barrier works on 100% of the marchups, some more than others, exhaust is conditional
I guess that depends on how you want to slice it? Not counting hweis passives and every aphelios gun having functionally its own passive hwei has 10 abilities and aphelios has 6. But if you want to count that each aphelios ult has an entirely different effect to it for each gun then you could argue they both have 10. You could really stretch this further and count each unique interaction with his gun combos as different abilities I suppose… buuuut even if you do that. you gotta keep in mind the majority of the time aphelios effectively has only two basic abilities and one ult cus of the nature of his kit. Hwei even though he can really only choose one spell for each use of basic ability will always have his full set of options to pick from at all points in the game he always can access his 10 different options. When aphelios is at 10 ammo on both his guns he technically has 5 abilities at that point cus using his current abilities will cause him to move to his next guns in rotation so you can follow up with those. (Or 8 abilities if you want to argue each version of the ult to but you’ll still only have one choice) All that long winded talk to say … technically there the same, debatably aphelios has more if you count each combo. effectively hwei has more cus aphelios can never have access to everything he can do at one time.
I want to add that Hweis waveclear being efficient only starting Lv 9 is quite annoying, whereas most mages have all they need to clear at Lv 7 unlike Hwei. Maybe it'll change next season since Riot planned on buffing him, but for the time being I'd rather go Minion demat to have the proper waveclear he was supposed to have, coupled with approach Velocity that allows Hwei to switch from very large distance to being close enough to constantly cast your abilities. I also like cosmic drive on him because of how easily he can switch from mid range to long range, and helps to both chase and kite, couples with approach velocity, it really is satisfying.
He is weak but his wave clear don't start at lvl 9, they did lvl 9 on the video just to show the difference between QE alone and QE+WE. If you combo on the wave Q and W with EE you're fine.
@@krishnachaitanyagv5065 yes i can see the run down potential from top ghost users like darius or olaf. But still I hope Druttut can somehow cook with that :).
@@theownerofmoneycr5028 Hwei base MS is too low, a toplaner can rush Mercury Tread, then pop ghost to run him down. Furthermore, top is a long solo lane so being ganked is a certain death for Hwei. Toplaner also tanky enough to just 100-0 tower dive you with the jungler.

True!!@@pierreo33
Starting off with R is unreliable. R is such a slow projectile that it's easy to whiff. Good damage but very situational
@@randomskillz01 Yeah, that combo was not the best lol. I currently focus on EE starters or EW. Much more reliable. Thanks for your comment though,
WE R EE QW deals more and faster

Going straight to a ranked game after this.

That setting where clamp cast target location is crazy. Makes viktor feel easier to play for newer players
Great video! Will come back to this when I’ll play league tomorrow 😊

@@AnimeArtistic i meant it does less damage than smite so it's not practical especially since the cast gives long enough for the enemy to react and use a faster secure
15:04 typical league experience, you're getting jumped while allies idle next to you, often engaging in fight after you die, for some reason
THIS IS THE HWEI!
thanks, super info!
13:30 is so real because i have played Hwei in all top, mid , and support and he's pretty strong in all these lanes
I've really enjoyed him top lane. I don't know if it's just a bias as a top lane main, but I find the slower back and forth of top lane dynamics suit Hwei's more 'thinking man's' kits.
yup his slow playstyle in the early game scaling to fast when peak teamfight time suits him well for the top lane
Electrocution on Hwei is just insane, you proc it only with two spells thanks to his passive
I had to play mid against him last night in quick play as tryndamere and I swear that champ has no cool downs.
The only cd worth checking for @3 is honestly if hwei Q stuff are up. Thats the only cooldown i play around. Then again melee vs hwei is a nightmare without 4 dashes

bro ee is way better than ew in team fights, ee + qe can proc passive on multiple enemies, which is an aoe, so just pressing qe ee can double or triple the passive damage proc to every enemy you hit depending on how grouped up they are
I mean yeah but only idiots are holding hands lol especially into an aoe mage lol
EW is getting buffed soon
I always just hold down the cast button if I need to see the range because, at least for me, they cast when i release the key
True, implemented long ago, rarely ppl use it
that setting is worse than normal quickcast as the game waits for you to let go of the button before casting whereas normal quickcast is just a press
This champ hurts my brain. Its going to take me some time to learn all this
lol same.. Once I master Hwei, its over for Bronze bitches.
One must imagine them as three categories
Q. Attack
W. Support / buff
E. Root / Fear
Nice love i played this champ who had a stun that does dmg overtime and explodes for massive damages. Frel extremely broken because it is.
the emotions are rage, sadness and fear/panic in that order
New carry champ unlocked
Great guide
Feels so good seeing the builds being fluid and situational with mythics gone 😌
Kind of reminds me of a much simpler version of Evoker. I was waiting for League's version of that. Not bad.
Eyeball on ekko w is my favorite thing to watch
When would you use QQ over QW or QE?
no minions, medium range from the enemy and for some short range burst damage
13:20 imo this is the only way to play the game ever. i almost feel like its a disservice to imply its complicated. it should be the default setting.
