Hwei vs Kai'Sa

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Hwei wins by leveraging long-range poke and (E) CC to control Kai'Sa's short-range all-ins.
The lane turns on punishing Kai'Sa's last-hit approach when her (E) dash is down and support peel is weak.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto-attack Kai'Sa during low-health minion last hits only if enemy support can't punish.
Use (Q) poke to zone Kai'Sa before she can safely commit with (E) or (R).
Hold (E) root or fear to disrupt Kai'Sa's all-in attempts and punish her when (E) is spent forward.

Danger windows

Kai'Sa's all-in is strongest when plasma stacks are active and (R) is ready for reposition.
Avoid trading when Kai'Sa's support controls brush or can immediately follow her engage.
Respect (E) dash cooldown; stepping forward while it's up risks burst and reposition damage.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin the wave and punish Kai'Sa stepping up for caster minion last hits.
Secure level 2 with support to deny Kai'Sa's early (E) dash aggression.
Hold wave near your side to reduce (Q) isolated damage potential and limit her dash windows.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks full spellbook options; use (E) CC to control Kai'Sa's engage attempts.
First completed mage item increases poke damage, making Kai'Sa's pre-item trades riskier.
Level 6 (R) enables all-ins; track (R) to avoid sudden reposition and punish post-ultimate cooldown.

Win conditions

Convert poke damage and wave control into forced recalls and turret plate damage.
Use lane priority to secure dragon vision and deny Kai'Sa isolated targets for her (Q).
Scale into teamfights where your crowd control and poke can disrupt Kai'Sa's dive and burst potential.

Tip: For Hwei vs Kai'Sa, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast ADC lane check.
