Lol Hwei Release Date: Ability Rundown And More Updates!

Hwei was fully revealed at Worlds 2023, however, the broadcast omitted information regarding the precise nature of his powers. But we have the complete description of each of his ten abilities, along with the release date, for your convenience. Here’s what we know about the newest League of Legends champion.

In 2023, League of Legends has been steadily releasing new champions. Champion releases are a big deal, even though they don’t happen nearly as frequently as they did in the League’s early years.

Does Hwei Have a Release Date?

Hwei doesn’t currently have a release date. Though it’s more likely that he’ll be released before 2024, he might not be ready until the following year. It’s difficult to say at this time.

There is a history of releases being delayed due to unanticipated development issues or circumstances beyond Riot’s control. This is particularly evident in Skarner’s rework, though players have finally received an update on how that project is progressing.

What do Hwei’s Abilities Do in League of Legends?

Hwei’s kit, which according to the original dev blog about him, makes him a “high-complexity champion,” appears to harken back to some of League’s more ambitious kit designs. And he’s got a lot going on now that we know the whole extent of his abilities.

A recurring motif in Hwei’s work is his exploration of three distinct subjects, resulting in three distinct stances and ten abilities in all. This is the summary:

Passive: Signature of the Visionary

• Hwei’s damaging abilities against enemy champions mark them.
• Hitting marked enemies with another damaging ability creates an explosion, detonating after a short delay and dealing magic damage to all enemies in range.

Subject: Disaster

This stance is focused solely on dealing damage, though it’s got a bit of CC here and there. Here are his three abilities within the stance.

• QQ: Devastating Fire
  • Hwei paints a blazing fireball that flies out in the target direction. It explodes on the first enemy hit or at max range, dealing magic damage plus percent max health magic damage to all enemies in an area.
• QW: Severing Bolt
  • Hwei paints a long-range, devastating bolt at the target location. After a delay, the bolt strikes, dealing magic damage
• QE: Molten Fissure
  • Hwei paints a field of exploding volcanic eruptions, creating lingering lava in its path.
  • Every eruption deals magic damage to enemies hit. Enemies in the lava area are dealt magic damage per second and are slowed.

Subject: Serenity

This stance has a focus on utility, allowing Hwei to support his teammates and take on more of an enchanter-esque role.

• WQ: Fleeting Current
  • Hwei paints a current of swift waters in a line for a few seconds that grants movement speed to himself and allies.
• WW: Pool of Reflection
  • Hwei forms a protective pool at a target location that lasts for a few seconds.
  • Allied champions inside the area gain a shield, increasing in value over a few seconds while in the area.
• WE: Stirring Lights
  • Hwei paints three swirling lights that circle him for several seconds.
  • Hwei’s next 3 attacks or spells deal bonus magic damage and grant mana on hit.

Subject: Torment

This stance is all about big CC and controlling fights. With a fear, a root, and a pull, he has a ton of displacement tools within this stance.

• EQ: Grim Visage
  • Hwei launches a terrifying face that strikes the first enemy hit, dealing magic damage and causing them to flee for a brief duration.
• EW: Gaze of the Abyss
  • Hwei paints an abyssal eye at a target location that grants vision and locks onto the nearest visible enemy champion.
  • After a short delay, the eye fires at the locked-on champion, rooting the first enemy in its path for a few seconds and dealing magic damage to them.
• EE: Crushing Maw
  • Hwei paints crushing jaws that deal magic damage to enemies hit and pulls them toward the center, slowing them by a set amount that quickly decays.

Ultimate: Spiraling Despair

• Hwei launches a vision of pure despair that sticks to an enemy champion for a few seconds. The vision expands and overwhelms all enemies it touches, dealing magic damage every second.
• Enemies within the zone are afflicted with stacks of Despair over time. Each stack of Despair applies a stacking slow. Upon completion, the vision shatters, dealing magic damage.
