SIGNATURE OF THE VISIONARYPassive

Hwei's damaging abilities against enemy champions mark them with his signature for 4 seconds. Hitting a marked enemy with a second damaging ability consumes the mark to create an explosion underneath them that detonates after a short delay, dealing 30–280 (based on level) (+25% AP) magic damage to all enemies in range. Each ability can only trigger this effect once per target.

Q

SUBJECT: DISASTERSkill 1

Paints visions of disaster that deal large damage to enemies. Devastating Fire: Paints a blazing fireball that flies out in the target direction. It explodes on the first enemy hit, dealing 50 (+70% AP) plus 4% of the target's max Health as magic damage to all enemies in an area. Severing Bolt: Paints a long-range, delayed lightning bolt at the target location, dealing 80 (+30% AP) magic damage. If the target is immobilized or only one target is struck, they take increased damage based on their missing Health, up to 200 (+75% AP) magic damage. Molten Fissure: Paints a field of exploding volcanic eruptions, creating lingering lava in its path. Every eruption deals 20 (+30% AP) magic damage to enemies hit. Enemies in the lava area are dealt 20 (+30% AP) magic damage per second and slowed by 30%. Each lava pool lasts 2.5 seconds.

Paints visions of torment that control enemies. Grim Visage: Launches a terrifying face that strikes the first enemy hit, fearing them for 1 second and dealing 70 (+70% AP) magic damage. Gaze of the Abyss: Paints an abyssal eye at the target location that grants vision, locking onto the nearest enemy champion and launching a homing missile at them.

Crushing Maw: Paints crushing jaws that deal 60 (+60% AP) magic damage to enemies hit and drag them toward the center, applying a 40% slow that decays over 1.25 seconds.

The combos in the tables below, grouped by shape; not a ranking or a verdict. Each item goes to the family its stats are worth the most gold in, and a shape is how many of the 3 core items fall in each family. Effects (passives) are not counted, and items without stats are left out. Runes are grouped by keystone and the most common tree among the rest. The icons show the most common combo of each shape. A shape at 10% or more counts as a pattern; shapes under 3% get no card. Less common item families are families whose items appear in under 10% of the Chinese combos but do show up in overseas guides or streamer and pro builds. Their icons are separate item options seen in those sources, not one build. Families are listed by how many sources they appear in.

Gold values with nothing equipped. Ratios such as AP grow with your build in the Build Lab. Tap a row to see the formula.

Assumptions

Combat only: 50%

Effects that only work in combat or under a condition are counted as active half the time. The same rule applies to every rune and spell.

At most once per 8s

Effects that re-trigger on attacks are counted at most once every 8 seconds, since a single fight only allows so many procs.

Damage valued like healing

Damage to an enemy is valued like healing yourself the same amount, priced with the health regen rate.

Forms split 50/50

Champions who switch forms (Jayce, Nidalee, Gnar's Mini and Mega) are assumed to spend half the match in each form, so both forms' abilities count at 50%. Hwei picks one of 3 spells per cast, so each of the 3 counts at 1/3. Champions who pick one form for good (Kayn) count only the higher-valued form.

Survival factor

Moving faster by some % is counted as that % more effective health, since speed lets you dodge and escape. Value = median max health × the speed gain × the health price.

Move speed % as flat

Move speed % is converted to flat move speed against the median base speed of 350, then priced at the flat rate.

Champion median

Values that depend on the champion, such as health, use the median of all champions at level 1 and level 15.

Skill ranks from level

A champion's ability values depend on rank, so rank is derived from level. The ultimate ranks up at levels 5 / 9 / 13. Remaining points go to abilities 1 → 2 → 3 in turn (1 / 0 / 0 at level 1, 4 / 4 / 4 at level 15). Which ability to max first is a judgement call, so every champion uses the same order. Abilities with a different number of ranks (such as Jayce's 5) follow the same rule, raising the lowest-ranked ability one point at a time; an ability learned from level 1 starts at rank 1.

You and one ally

Heals and shields that also reach an ally are counted for two people: you and one ally.

One fight per 90s

A 15-minute match is assumed to have 10 fights. Shields and damage blocks that work once per fight are counted as extra health in every fight.

Fight length: 10 s

Crowd control that stops the enemy (stun, charm, etc.) is treated as time you aren't being hit. A fight is assumed to last 10 s, so it counts as holding seconds ÷ 10 × median max health in extra health each fight. Uses are capped like shields: the fewer of cooldown uses and fights.
