Damage
976Hwei
564Malphite
Hwei heavily out-damages Malphite by 412 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Malphite should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Hwei's sustained damage advantage take over.

Hwei generates a commanding 2,106 more gold per game than Malphite. This substantial economic advantage means Hwei consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
1.0Hwei
