What makes Gwen dangerous
Gwen's Q snips deal % max-health magic damage, melting tanks, and her W creates a mist that makes her untargetable to enemies outside it and where she can't be targeted from range. She heals and scales, becoming an unkillable duelist that dives the backline with her needle ultimate.
How to play against Gwen
- 1Don't chase her into her W mist — she's untargetable to anyone outside it. Wait for the mist to expire or fight her outside it.
- 2Her Q shreds tanks with true damage — don't try to out-tank her. Burst her down or kite her instead of trading HP.
- 3Grievous Wounds cuts her healing, and hard CC before she can reposition in her mist catches her.
- 4Punish her weak early game before her items — Gwen is a scaler. Pressure her off farm and end before she comes online.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓Weak early game; item- and scaling-reliant.
- ✓Untargetability only works inside her W mist.
- ✓Grievous Wounds cuts her healing.
- ✓Kiteable and punishable by hard CC when the mist is down.
Abilities & how to counter them
What each of Gwen's abilities does — and how to play around it.
P
Tausend SchnitteGwens Angriffe verursachen zusätzlichen magischen Schaden abhängig vom Leben des Ziels. Sie wird in Höhe eines Teils des Schadens geheilt, den dieser Effekt an Champions verursacht.
Q
Schnipp-schnapp!Gwen schneidet bis zu 6-mal schnell hintereinander mit ihrer Schere und verursacht in einem kegelförmigen Bereich magischen Schaden. Einheiten im Zentrum erleiden absoluten Schaden und werden bei jedem Schnitt mit Gwens Passiv belegt.
Strong: snips deal % max-health true damage, melting tanks. Weak: don't try to out-tank her — burst or kite instead of trading HP.
W
Geheiligter NebelGwen beschwört einen Nebel, der sie vor Gegnern außerhalb des Bereichs schützt. Sie kann nur von Gegnern anvisiert werden, die den Nebel betreten.
Strong: her mist makes her untargetable to enemies outside it, including from range. Weak: don't chase her into it — wait for it to expire or fight her outside.
E
ScherensprungGwen springt über eine kurze Distanz nach vorn und erhält ein paar Sekunden lang Angriffstempo, Angriffsreichweite und magischen Schaden bei Treffern. Wenn sie während dieser Zeit einen Gegner trifft, wird die Abklingzeit dieser Fähigkeit teilweise zurückerstattet.
R
NadelarbeitGwen wirft eine Nadel, die getroffene Gegner verlangsamt, ihnen magischen Schaden zufügt und getroffene Champions mit „Tausend Schnitte“ belegt. Diese Fähigkeit kann bis zu zwei weitere Male aktiviert werden. Gwen wirft bei jeder Aktivierung zusätzliche Nadeln und verursacht mehr Schaden.
Itemization
Gwen is AP with % health true damage and healing. Grievous Wounds and magic resist blunt her, and burst/kite instead of tanking her Q. Beat her early before she scales.
