Learn how to play with Gwen with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Gwen's W (Hallowed Mist) makes her untargetable to enemies outside the mist, but this protection doesn't extend to you. When fighting alongside Gwen, position adjacent to her mist rather than expecting protection inside it.
Basic Team Fight
When Gwen reaches level 6, be ready to engage when she uses her ultimate. Her Needlework slows enemies and can be recast twice with increasing numbers of needles, creating perfect setup for your damage or crowd control.
Basic Skirmish
Gwen's Q damage significantly increases when she has 4 stacks from basic attacks. If you see her auto-attacking a target repeatedly without using abilities, she's preparing for an all-in. Be ready to follow up when she has max stacks.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Layer your crowd control abilities after Gwen's ultimate needles connect. Each needle applies a slow, making it easier to land your skillshots or follow-up CC for devastating combos.
Team Fight
Prioritize ganking for Gwen early, especially against ranged matchups. She has a weak early game and struggles against harassment, but becomes a powerful ally once she establishes lane presence.
Basic Lane Phase
In late game team fights, support Gwen's flanking attempts by engaging from the front when she approaches from the side. She functions best when able to access priority targets with her short-to-medium range abilities.
Team Fight Late Game
When Gwen splits in mid-game, avoid starting team fights and instead create pressure elsewhere. She excels in 1v1 duels and can often draw multiple enemies to her lane, creating opportunities for your team.
Late Game
When ganking for Gwen, time your approach for when her Q cooldown is available. At max rank, it has only a 3.5-second cooldown and provides significant burst damage when fully stacked.
Lane Phase
Gwen's W (Hallowed Mist) doesn't protect her from tower shots. When coordinating dives, remember she's as vulnerable to towers as any other champion despite her mist's defensive properties.
Lane Phase
Enemy projectiles targeted at Gwen are destroyed when passing through her mist. In team fights, position near (but not inside) her mist to potentially avoid area abilities aimed in her direction.
