Riot Games announced that Hwei, the new League of Legends mage champion with ten skills, is coming in Patch 13.24, which is slated for release on December 6, 2023. Check out the latest champ's skills and other details below.
Overview
Here's a brief summary by Riot Games of the story of Hwei:
A brooding painter, Hwei creates brilliant art to confront Ionia's criminals and to comfort their victims. Not without his own troubled history, he is haunted by his overflowing imagination and the loss of his island temple, which comes back to him in the form of intense, emotional visions. Hwei shares these visions to ease his troubled self, while treading a path toward the one who both devastated and unlocked his artistic mind—Jhin. With his paintbrush and palette in hand, Hwei journeys to earn closure or perhaps, embrace despair.
Meanwhile, here's the voice line of Lukai Hwei "The Visionary":
Art, life, death – all I've seen, all made clear.
Hwei is the first champion in League of Legends to be able to cast ten different spells, giving him unmatched gameplay potential. Each of Hwei's basic skills is part of one of three spellbooks. Skills in the same spellbook share a cooldown.
Each spellbook has a different artistic subject that decides the quality of its abilities. For example, "Q Spellbook: Disaster" is about the destructive forces of nature, "W Spellbook: Serenity" gives you revitalizing and sustaining energy, and "E Spellbook: Torment" features formidable crowd control (CC) effects.
Hwei can cast a huge number of spells, but League of Legends players who want to get the most out of him will have to be careful about which ones they use at all times. The ranged-magic champ is best for middle and support positions.
