Nautilus vs Hwei Matchup Summary

The Nautilus vs Hwei matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 25 recent matches analyzed, Nautilus wins with a 64.0% win rate compared to Hwei's 36.0%, giving Nautilus a 28.0 percentage point advantage. Nautilus dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Hwei players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Nautilus leads by 1,025 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Nautilus players can confidently pick into Hwei and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Hwei away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Damage
346Nautilus
639Hwei

Economy
8,396Nautilus
8,990Hwei

Utility
2.0Nautilus
1.1Hwei
Nautilus brings significantly more crowd control than Hwei, with 0.9 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Nautilus far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
1,495Nautilus
470Hwei
Nautilus vastly out-sustains Hwei, healing and mitigating 1,025 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Nautilus can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Hwei is forced to recall.
