Hwei vs Corki

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Hwei is a long-range artillery mage who must use poke and E spellbook CC to control Corki and deny his safe scaling.
Pressure early with poke to prevent Corki from freely farming and setting up his mid-game rocket poke.

Trading pattern

Trade by controlling space with Q poke and hold E CC defensively against Corki's Corki W engage or Corki R poke.
Punish Corki when Corki W is down or used forward by stepping up with E CC and Q poke.
Avoid trading when Corki's Corki R rockets are stocked and Corki W is available to escape.

Danger windows

Corki is dangerous post-6 with Corki R rockets and Corki W mobility; avoid all-ins when these are available.
Be cautious if Corki uses Corki W forward, as he can reposition aggressively.
Corki's poke damage spikes with items, so respect his damage output before item completion.

Early game

Use Q and E CC to harass Corki before he can safely use Corki Q and Corki R poke.
Avoid extended fights early to prevent Corki from punishing with Corki W reposition or Corki E close-range damage.
Prioritize wave control to keep Corki under pressure and limit his ability to farm safely.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks Hwei's full spellbook for versatile poke, CC, and shielding options.
Level 6 with R allows Hwei to all-in or heavily zone Corki.
Respect Corki's level 6 Corki R spike and his first completed damage item for sustained poke threat.

Win conditions

Use long-range poke and E CC to deny Corki safe farming and force him to miss CS or use Corki W defensively.
Capitalize on Corki W cooldowns to engage with E CC and follow up with Q and R for strong trades.
Reach level 6 and item spikes to threaten all-ins and control mid-game fights with R.
