Hwei Build
the Visionary
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.
The most played Hwei Support build on patch 26.21 runs Arcane Comet with Manaflow Band, Transcendence and Scorch, plus Legend: Haste and Presence of Mind from the secondary tree. Take Flash and Heal. Start with Health Potion, then build Zaz'Zak's Realmspike, Blackfire Torch and Sorcerer's Shoes, followed by Liandry's Torment, Shadowflame and Morellonomicon. Max Q (Subject: Disaster) first, then E (Subject: Torment), then W (Subject: Serenity). It has a 48.8% win rate and a 0.6% pick rate.
