How to play as Hwei

Once Naafiri reaches level 6, save Grim Visage(EQ) for her Packmates' Pursuit(R) and aim it along her dash toward you; she leads the pack during the charge, so the dogs do not block the fear.

Use Molten Fissure(QE) to hit Naafiri's packmates when they cluster around her; Hwei players recommend clearing the dogs to reduce their contribution to her pressure. (Unverified: no source confirms this note.)

When Naafiri uses Packmates' Pursuit(R), she dashes ahead of her packmates, briefly leaving her exposed to Hwei's Grim Visage(EQ) fear instead of letting the pack block it.
