Hwei vs Yasuo

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Hwei is a long-range control mage who must use spellbook variety to control space and punish Yasuo's melee approach.
Pressure Yasuo early to deny his mobility and knockup setup, preventing him from safely engaging with Yasuo E and Yasuo Q.

Trading pattern

Trade by poking from range and holding E spellbook CC for Yasuo's Yasuo E engage attempts.
Respect Yasuo W cooldown to avoid losing damage to his projectile block.
Force trades when Yasuo's Yasuo W is down or when he lacks minions to dash through.

Danger windows

Yasuo is most dangerous when Yasuo Q tornado knockup is ready and Yasuo R can follow up.
Be cautious when Yasuo W is available to block key abilities; wait for cooldown to trade safely.
Yasuo is vulnerable when Yasuo W and his passive shield are down; use this to punish aggressively.

Early game

Use Q poke and E spellbook CC to keep Yasuo at bay before level 6.
Avoid overcommitting without the right E spell choice, as Yasuo can punish fast all-ins.
Control the wave to limit Yasuo's mobility from minions and reduce his engage options.

Power spikes

Hwei's level 3 unlocks full spellbook options for poke, control, and shield, increasing lane pressure.
Hwei's level 6 R enables all-in kill potential after setting up crowd control.
Respect Yasuo's level 2 power spike with Yasuo Q plus Yasuo E mobility and level 6 Yasuo R if airborne targets are available.

Win conditions

Use long-range poke and E spellbook CC to deny Yasuo safe engages and build advantage.
Punish Yasuo's lack of mobility without minion waves by controlling wave state and spacing.
Reach level 6 to all-in with R after setting up crowd control to secure kills or force summoners.
