Hwei vs Ashe

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

The lane turns on Hwei using long-range poke and (E) CC to control Ashe's slow poke and set up level 6 all-ins.
Hwei wins short trades by punishing Ashe's last-hit animations when support threat is low and controls wave priority through spell variety.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto or poke Ashe during her last-hit animations if enemy support is out of zone or cooldown.
Use (E) defensive CC spells to disrupt (W) slow and prevent her from chaining autos.
Avoid trading when (R) is up and support is positioned to follow, as her pick threat is highest then.

Danger windows

(R) stun with support follow-up creates lethal all-in windows; avoid stepping forward without defensive tools.
When Ashe stacks (W) slows and her support controls brush, Hwei is vulnerable to extended poke and chase.
Avoid standing near low-health minions when Ashe can slow and chain autos, as this enables her to punish your positioning.

Early game

Use level 1-3 to thin caster minions and hold wave near your side, denying Ashe safe last hits.
Punish Ashe stepping up for low-health minions only if enemy support cannot immediately trade back.
Avoid overextending early to reduce risk from (W) poke and potential support follow-up.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks full spellbook, letting Hwei choose (E) CC or shield to control trades and punish Ashe's engage.
Level 6 (R) enables all-in setups; track its cooldown to commit or reset trades effectively.
First completed mage item improves poke and wave control, forcing Ashe to respect Hwei's damage and reducing her free farm.

Win conditions

Convert poke and CC control into denied Ashe CS, forcing her recalls and creating plate pressure.
Use level 6 all-in windows to secure kills or force Ashe under turret before dragon setups.
Leverage mage item spike to pressure waves, secure dragon vision, and position for teamfight utility with (R).
