Hwei, League of Legends\u2019 newly announced champion, will be the first on the roster to have an arsenal that includes 10 different spells. 11 if you include his passive, but who\u2019s counting? It\u2019s safe to say that Hwei works differently from any other champion in the game. With three different \u201cforms\u201d available to him, Hwei can swap what\u2019s on his ability bar at will by dipping his paintbrush into his palette and gaining access to abilities that are categorized under three different subjects: Disaster (Q), Serenity (W), and Torment (E).\u00a0 Whenever Hwei selects one of these three subjects, he gains access to three new abilities, with Disaster being focused on damage spells, Serenity dealing with supportive abilities, and Torment granting him access to CC-based moves.\u00a0 When you see Hwei\u2019s abilities come up in discussions or in patch notes, you\u2019re likely going to see them labeled with two buttons used as a descriptor: QQ, EW, WQ, etc. This is because each of Hwei\u2019s \u201cforms\u201d gives him access to an expanded ability set that can be changed depending on which subject he\u2019s focusing on at a given point in the game. Essentially, Hwei players will always be pressing Q, W, or E to first select what type of ability they\u2019re going to be casting. Then they\u2019re going to press one of those buttons again to dedicate themselves to a specific ability from that subject.\u00a0 For example, Hwei can press Q, then Q again to cast Devastating Fire, which is a fireball that gets cast in a straight line. Hwei can press Q and then W to cast Severing Bolt, which is an entirely different AoE spell. After he casts a spell, his form gets reset to a neutral state, and the process goes on and on nine times for each of Hwei\u2019s subjects, as well as his individual abilities.\u00a0 When two damaging abilities from Hwei\u2019s kit interact, they\u2019ll trigger his passive, Signature of the Visionary, which causes an explosion around the champion that\u2019s hit. His ultimate, Spiraling Despair, does not change based on which subject Hwei is currently dipped into. It\u2019s not hard to look at Hwei as a three-in-one champion. With abilities that range across several of the game\u2019s roles and classes, you can easily take Hwei and build him as a fully damage-focused AP Mage, but you\u2019ll also have the option to use his skill set to keep your team alive and CC enemy players.\u00a0 With so many abilities and interactions, it\u2019s easy to have a knee-jerk reaction and call Hwei overloaded, but we\u2019re willing to hold our breath and see how the champion is balanced before we call him broken. With 10 different abilities, he surely can\u2019t be good at everything, right, Riot?\u00a0 Hwei will be released on live League servers during the Patch 13.24 patch cycle later this year.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Screenshot_7.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1034883"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1865"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1034883"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1034883\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1036170,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1034883\/revisions\/1036170"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1036156"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1034883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1034883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1034883"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1034883"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1034883"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1034883"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1034883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Hwei, League of Legends\u2019 newly announced champion, will be the first on the roster to have an arsenal that includes 10 different spells. 11 if you include his passive, but who\u2019s counting? It\u2019s safe to say that Hwei works differently from any other champion in the game. With three different \u201cforms\u201d available to him, Hwei can swap what\u2019s on his ability bar at will by dipping his paintbrush into his palette and gaining access to abilities that are categorized under three different subjects: Disaster (Q), Serenity (W), and Torment (E).\u00a0 Whenever Hwei selects one of these three subjects, he gains access to three new abilities, with Disaster being focused on damage spells, Serenity dealing with supportive abilities, and Torment granting him access to CC-based moves.\u00a0 When you see Hwei\u2019s abilities come up in discussions or in patch notes, you\u2019re likely going to see them labeled with two buttons used as a descriptor: QQ, EW, WQ, etc. This is because each of Hwei\u2019s \u201cforms\u201d gives him access to an expanded ability set that can be changed depending on which subject he\u2019s focusing on at a given point in the game. Essentially, Hwei players will always be pressing Q, W, or E to first select what type of ability they\u2019re going to be casting. Then they\u2019re going to press one of those buttons again to dedicate themselves to a specific ability from that subject.\u00a0 For example, Hwei can press Q, then Q again to cast Devastating Fire, which is a fireball that gets cast in a straight line. Hwei can press Q and then W to cast Severing Bolt, which is an entirely different AoE spell. After he casts a spell, his form gets reset to a neutral state, and the process goes on and on nine times for each of Hwei\u2019s subjects, as well as his individual abilities.\u00a0 When two damaging abilities from Hwei\u2019s kit interact, they\u2019ll trigger his passive, Signature of the Visionary, which causes an explosion around the champion that\u2019s hit. His ultimate, Spiraling Despair, does not change based on which subject Hwei is currently dipped into. It\u2019s not hard to look at Hwei as a three-in-one champion. With abilities that range across several of the game\u2019s roles and classes, you can easily take Hwei and build him as a fully damage-focused AP Mage, but you\u2019ll also have the option to use his skill set to keep your team alive and CC enemy players.\u00a0 With so many abilities and interactions, it\u2019s easy to have a knee-jerk reaction and call Hwei overloaded, but we\u2019re willing to hold our breath and see how the champion is balanced before we call him broken. With 10 different abilities, he surely can\u2019t be good at everything, right, Riot?\u00a0 Hwei will be released on live League servers during the Patch 13.24 patch cycle later this year.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Screenshot_7.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1034883"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1865"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1034883"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1034883\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1036170,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1034883\/revisions\/1036170"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1036156"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1034883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1034883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1034883"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1034883"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1034883"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1034883"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1034883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

When you see Hwei\u2019s abilities come up in discussions or in patch notes, you\u2019re likely going to see them labeled with two buttons used as a descriptor: QQ, EW, WQ, etc. This is because each of Hwei\u2019s \u201cforms\u201d gives him access to an expanded ability set that can be changed depending on which subject he\u2019s focusing on at a given point in the game. Essentially, Hwei players will always be pressing Q, W, or E to first select what type of ability they\u2019re going to be casting. Then they\u2019re going to press one of those buttons again to dedicate themselves to a specific ability from that subject. <\/p>

For example, Hwei can press Q, then Q again to cast Devastating Fire, which is a fireball that gets cast in a straight line. Hwei can press Q and then W to cast Severing Bolt, which is an entirely different AoE spell. After he casts a spell, his form gets reset to a neutral state, and the process goes on and on nine times for each of Hwei\u2019s subjects, as well as his individual abilities. <\/p>

When two damaging abilities from Hwei\u2019s kit interact, they\u2019ll trigger his passive, Signature of the Visionary, which causes an explosion around the champion that\u2019s hit. His ultimate, Spiraling Despair, does not change based on which subject Hwei is currently dipped into.<\/p>

It\u2019s not hard to look at Hwei as a three-in-one champion. With abilities that range across several of the game\u2019s roles and classes, you can easily take Hwei and build him as a fully damage-focused AP Mage<\/a>, but you\u2019ll also have the option to use his skill set to keep your team alive and CC enemy players. <\/p>

With so many abilities and interactions, it\u2019s easy to have a knee-jerk reaction and call Hwei overloaded, but we\u2019re willing to hold our breath and see how the champion is balanced before we call him broken. With 10 different abilities, he surely can\u2019t be good at everything, right, Riot? <\/p>

Hwei will be released on live League <\/em>servers during the Patch 13.24 patch cycle<\/a> later this year. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
