Popular Hwei builds in game

Taken from the in-game loadout screen as of 2026-10-07. The pick count and win rate are shown exactly as the game reports them.

Build 1MidWin rate 60.13%Picks 10,898

Ability Power and burn mid build with Ignite

Runes

When playing mid with Ignite (same items as build 2)

The items are the same as build 2, but Ignite takes the place of Ghost. Ignite burns an enemy champion for true damage, applies Grievous Wounds, and reveals the target. Ability Power totals +510, and the Overkill passive of Rabadon's Deathcap raises AP by a further 30%. Blackfire Torch and Liandry's Torment both burn enemies for 3 seconds when your abilities deal damage. Liandry's Torment burns for 2% of the target's max HP per second, so it hits enemies with more health harder.

Build 2MidWin rate 59.89%Picks 31,891

Ability Power and burn mid build with Ghost

Runes

When playing mid with Ghost (same items as build 1)

The items are the same as build 1, but Ghost takes the place of Ignite. Ghost gives a sudden burst of Movement Speed that gradually decays, and each kill or assist extends its duration. Void Staff's +40% Magic Penetration helps magic damage get through against enemies who stack Magic Resistance. Activating Zhonya's Hourglass makes you invulnerable for 2.5 seconds, but you cannot act during that time (90-second cooldown). This build is more popular than build 1, though its win rate is slightly lower.

Build 3SupportWin rate 61.64%Picks 9,351

Support build for reveals and bonus damage

Runes

When playing support (same items and spells as build 4)

Horizon Focus reveals an enemy champion for 8 seconds when you damage them with an ability from at least 600 units away. It also increases your damage to that target by 10%. Imperial Mandate marks enemy champions you crowd-control for 4 seconds, and they take 7% more damage during that time. Cryptbloom restores HP to allies when a champion you damaged within the last 3 seconds dies (60-second cooldown).

Build 4SupportWin rate 58.74%Picks 4,333

Same support build as build 3

Runes

When playing support (same items and spells as build 3)

The items and summoner spells (Heal and Flash) are exactly the same as build 3. Both popularity and win rate are lower than build 3's. While near an ally, Spectral Sickle consumes an orb to grant 65 gold when you damage enemy champions or structures. The build totals +85 Ability Haste and +38% and +18 Magic Penetration. Heal restores health to you and the most injured nearby allied champion, and gives you both bonus Movement Speed.

Skill Order (Lv 1 - 15)

Ult

Max Skill 1 (Subject: Disaster) first: it handles wave clear, and its cooldown, already the shortest of your three basic skills, drops from 9.5s to 6.5s. Skill 3 (Subject: Torment) comes next, adding 50 base damage per rank and stretching the Gaze of the Abyss root from 1.25s to 2s. Leave Skill 2 (Subject: Serenity) for last.

Hwei Strengths

✓While Skill 3's root holds a target, Skill 1's Severing Bolt gains damage based on their missing HP
✓Skills 1-3 each have three effects, so one champion covers poke, group slows and ally shields

Hwei Weaknesses

×No dash or blink; the only speed boost in his kit is Skill 2's Fleeting Current
×Fear, root and pull all live in Skill 3, so spending it on offense leaves nothing to stop an enemy who closes in

Hwei Early Game

Skill 1's Devastating Fire explodes on the first enemy it hits and damages all enemies around it. A minion hit still sets off the blast, so you can chip an enemy champion standing next to the wave. Paint Stirring Lights from Skill 2 before you trade: your next three skills or basic attacks deal bonus damage and restore Mana on hit. Keep Skill 3 out of lane trades and save it for when the enemy jungler ganks.

Hwei Mid Game

In the mid game, look for catches with Gaze of the Abyss from Skill 3. The eye grants vision where you paint it and fires a homing projectile at the nearest enemy champion. The first enemy it hits is rooted and revealed for 2.5 seconds. Severing Bolt scales with missing HP whenever it hits only one target, so an enemy alone in a side lane, away from their team, is a prime target. When you move as a group, use Fleeting Current from Skill 2 to speed up yourself and your allies.

Hwei Late Game

Once Devastating Fire is maxed, it adds 7% of the target's Max HP, so it hits high-HP frontliners harder. You struggle to escape once caught, so stay back and fire from Severing Bolt's long range. When you expect to be focused, paint Pool of Reflection under yourself early. The shield grows over 1.5 seconds, and while allies get a 15% weaker shield, Hwei's own is not reduced.

Hwei Teamfights

In teamfights, pull enemies into one spot with Crushing Maw from Skill 3, then lay Molten Fissure's lava over them. Each lava pool lasts 2.5 seconds and slows enemies inside by 30% while burning them. Coming right after Crushing Maw, the lava is your second ability hit, so the passive detonates beneath them and damages all enemies in the area. Shield allies under pressure with Pool of Reflection, and put your Ult on a diver so the slow that stacks every 0.25 seconds bogs them down.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

Spending Skill 3 (Subject: Torment) on harass

Hwei's fear, root and pull all come from Skill 3. If an enemy closes in while it is on cooldown, he has no dash to shake them off, and the only speed boost in his kit is Fleeting Current from Skill 2. Leave the poke to Devastating Fire from Skill 1. Save Skill 3 for a Grim Visage on whoever walks up to you, or for a Gaze of the Abyss when it is sure to land.

Hwei Combos

Basic Harass

Paint Stirring Lights, then land Devastating Fire and an auto. Each of those hits deals bonus damage and refunds Mana.

2(Stirring Lights)

1(Devastating Fire)

Catch Combo

Drop Severing Bolt while Gaze of the Abyss holds them in place. Against an immobilized target the bolt gains damage based on missing HP, and as your second hit it sets off the passive. Finish by latching your Ult on so the stacking slow bogs down their escape.

Our take

Signature of the Visionary's explosion actually rises at level 1, from 33 to 40. What falls is the max-level value, from 333 to 285. Devastating Fire and Spiraling Despair both lose base damage and AP ratio, and Severing Bolt's missing-Health bonus is 50 points lower at every rank. The cuts land on his damage once ranks and levels are up.
