Hwei: League of Legends’ Newest Champion
Riot has just announced the newest champion, Hwei, for its ever-expanding roster in League of Legends. With a whopping 10 active spells, Hwei is one of the most versatile champions in the game. As an AP mid lane mage, Hwei can choose between three subjects—Disaster, Serenity, and Torment—to cast different types of spells and create devastating combos.
To cast an ability, Hwei first selects a subject, which grants access to three different spells. These spells can be combined to unleash a desired effect. In total, Hwei has 10 active abilities and one passive, making him one of the deepest champions in League.
