Introducing Hwei, League of Legends’ First True Mage Champion with a Versatile Kit
=======================================================
The newest League of Legends (LoL) champion has been finally revealed by Riot Games! Hwei, The Visionary, is positioned as the first “True Mage” of the game, with a vast arsenal of skills like no other champion. With various attack spells, Hwei is set to make a name for itself in the mid lane.
Yahoo Gaming SEA had the opportunity to chat with the team that worked on Hwei, including Lexi “Lexical” Gao, Isa “orkidian” De Leon, and Myles “Emizery” Salholm, to learn about this new, creative and unique champion. We got a thorough breakdown of Hwei’s abilities, key strengths and unique features, and how its kit makes LoL’s first true mage a force to be reckoned within the game.
Hwei’s Abilities Overview
——————————-
Hwei is an introspective artist with a tragic past, who uses his paintbrush and palette to create moving works that challenge Ionia’s offenders and console their victims. With ten different spells, Hwei has unparalleled gameplay potential in LoL, boasting a kit similar to Dota 2’s Invoker.
These abilities make Hwei ideal for the mid lane, while some spells can also make him a viable support. With its numerous offensive spells, Hwei will be able to exchange well with other mid laners and defend turrets. Furthermore, the champion is not easy to master, but is designed to be particularly powerful the more players master its potential.
Key Strengths and Unique Features
—————————————-
Hwei’s basic skills are divided into three spellbooks that share cooldowns with others in the same spellbook:
- Subject: Disaster focuses on nature’s unyielding and destructive powers
- Subject: Serenity gives energizing and sustaining energy
- Subject: Torment has strong crowd control effects
To maximize Hwei’s potential, players must be judicious about which talents they deploy on each occasion. Aside from the usual Passive, Q, W, E, and R, Hwei’s kit includes more combinations, leading to versatile gameplay and a higher skill ceiling.
Release Date and Patch Update
———————————–
Hwei will be available on PBE on November 20, 2023 and go live on League of Legends Patch 13.24. Pro players are expected to pull off impressive clutch combinations that will spice up Summoner’s Rift.
