Hwei vs Twitch

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Hwei's ability to control space with long-range poke and CC versus Twitch's stealth threat.
Hwei wins short trades and lane priority by punishing Twitch's forced farm attempts under vision.
Twitch scales better into late game, so Hwei must leverage early poke and wave control to deny farm.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto and poke Twitch during his last-hit animations only if enemy support is out of engage range.
Use (E) spellbook CC defensively to disrupt Twitch's stealth engages and hold space in extended trades.
Avoid trading when (W) slow is ready, as it sets up his (E) poison burst for stronger all-ins.

Danger windows

(Q) stealth with support follow-up creates high danger when stepping up without vision or CC ready.
Avoid trading when Twitch has full poison stacks and (E) ready, as he can burst you down quickly.
Be cautious when (R) is available and you are grouped near minions or your support, as his piercing shots punish clustering.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin the wave with (Q) and keep Twitch under tower to limit his stealth angles.
Punish Twitch's last-hit attempts on caster minions when his support cannot immediately trade back.
Avoid pushing too far without vision since Twitch can appear from stealth to punish overextension.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks full spellbook options; use this to vary poke and keep defensive CC ready against Twitch's stealth.
First completed mage item lets Hwei pressure waves and trades more confidently, forcing Twitch to play safer.
Level 6 (R) enables all-in picks or defensive resets; track Twitch's ultimate to avoid getting caught in his extended DPS.

Win conditions

Convert poke and CC pressure into crashing waves to force Twitch under tower and deny his farm and recall timings.
Use level 6 all-in windows with (R) to secure kills or force Twitch to burn summoners.
Translate lane pressure into dragon control and teamfight positioning where Hwei's poke and utility shine over Twitch's stealth DPS.
