the Visionary
Champion analysis written by TEAMGAP editors.
Hwei's three categories with nine skills maximize his adaptability to any situation, combining CC, damage, and utility in one versatile kit. His long range enables safe poking, and his diverse skill combinations offer endless strategic options. Without understanding combinations his efficiency drops sharply, and lack of mobility makes ganks punishing.
Hwei is a brooding painter who creates brilliant art in order to confront Ionia's criminals and comfort their victims. Beneath his melancholy roils a torn, emotional mind—haunted by both the vibrant visions of his imagination and the gruesome memories of his temple's massacre. Hwei seeks to understand this light and dark, which drives him inevitably toward the artist who unraveled him. With paintbrush and palette, Hwei shapes endless possibilities as he draws ever closer to earning closure or embracing despair.
