With the addition of randomised encouters, Neeko is sometimes able to give you the ability to pull of a neat trick.

Neeko Encounter:

Neeko summons a random 5 cost spirit to help for 3 player combats.

Some might feel that getting an itemless Hwei is a lowroll compared to a Lissandra or Udyr, but it’s quite the opposite!

Whenever you put a unit on the middle of your bench, Hwei will start to increase the painting-counter.
After the 3 rounds of combat, Hwei will disappear and the highlighted bench spot will disappear.

If you manage to get a Hwei later on in the game and put him on your board, he will continue to increase the painting-counter.
As soon as the combat starts, you’ll see the unit you want to paint will have 3 saved up stacks.

This trick will make sure you get your highlighted unit 3 rounds earlier!
