How to beat Gwen

Common role: Top

An AP bruiser who shreds tanks with % health true damage inside her mist.

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.

  聖なる霧

  霧を召喚して、霧の外にいる敵から身を守る。霧の中にいる敵からしか対象指定されない。

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.
