Hwei vs LeBlanc

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Hwei is a long-range control mage who must leverage poke and E spellbook CC to dominate lane pressure against LeBlanc's burst and mobility.
Focus on denying LeBlanc a calm, scaling lane by forcing her to farm under tower and punishing her low waveclear.

Trading pattern

Trade by controlling space with long-range Q poke and hold E CC to punish LeBlanc's W engage if she misses.
Avoid extended trades when LeBlanc's W is available; punish cooldown windows after she uses W to reposition.
Use E CC to interrupt LeBlanc's chain and follow up with poke or short trades.

Danger windows

Be cautious when LeBlanc has W available for sudden all-ins; maintain spacing and use E CC defensively.
Avoid extended trades if you choose the wrong E spellbook CC, as LeBlanc can punish hard with burst.
Punish LeBlanc if she uses W to engage and misses by stepping forward with poke and control.

Early game

Use Q and E spellbook to poke and control space early, avoiding all-ins before level 6.
Push waves to force LeBlanc under tower where she struggles to clear and is vulnerable to poke.
Choose defensive E spellbook (fear or root) to disrupt LeBlanc's engage attempts with W and E chains.

Power spikes

Respect LeBlanc's level 2 burst with Q plus W or E; avoid risky trades until you have full spellbook at level 3.
Hwei's major spikes are level 3 for full spellbook options and level 6 for R all-in with R.
First completed mage item enhances Hwei's poke and kill pressure, increasing lane control.

Win conditions

Win lane by using superior poke and E CC to deny LeBlanc safe farming and scaling.
Control wave and force LeBlanc under tower to exploit her weak waveclear and punish attempts to contest.
Set up level 6 all-in with R after establishing lane dominance through poke and crowd control.
