Yunara vs Hwei Counter Pick

A 39.5% win rate across 309 games on patch 16.13.1 looks poor for a marksman who has the range edge, and Yunara does have it, 575 to 550. Those extra 25 units count for little, since very little of what Hwei does depends on standing at auto-attack distance.

His three basic abilities work more like menus. Subject: Disaster, Subject: Serenity and Subject: Torment each swap out the rest of his kit for a separate set of spells covering damage, utility or crowd control. That is the reason the difficulty rating is 9. A marksman playing him cannot commit ahead of time: one button might give poke, a shield or a root, depending on a decision made half a second before. Signature of the Visionary pays off when he lands two hits, so any pair of spells that connect becomes a third damage instance.

Defensively, Hwei is fragile, with 21 armor at level 1 and 100.9 at level 18, but the real challenge is getting into range, not finishing him off. Since his damage comes in several types, a single resistance item leaves gaps. Meanwhile, the 590 health and 25 armor that Yunara begins with offer little buffer against chip damage. Kanmei’s Steps grants movement speed and ghosting instead of a dash until Transcend One’s Self is online, so her escape arrives after the window when she needs it most.
