Playing as Gwen

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Land 4 autos before your Q

    Land 4 autos before Snip Snip! (Q): each auto adds a snip, on top of the first and the last.

  2. Hit with the center of your Q

    Land the center of Snip Snip! (Q): in the center, part of the damage becomes true damage and each snip applies A Thousand Cuts (passive).

  3. Mist against poke

    Place Hallowed Mist (W) against poke and ranged CC: enemies outside the mist can't target you, except towers.

  4. Use all three casts of your R

    Cast all three Needlework (R) activations within 6 seconds: the first throws one needle, then three, then five, with growing damage.

Playing against Singed

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't chase him

    Don't chase Singed: behind him, Poison Trail (Q) damages you every second, and that's what he wants.

  2. Get out of his glue fast

    Get out of Mega Adhesive (W) fast: the glue slows and grounds you, so you can't dash.

  3. Keep your distance

    If you're ranged, keep your distance: Fling (E) only works in melee range, and it throws you behind him, toward his allies.

  4. CC on him, damage on them

    If you have CC, use it on Singed when he dives, then hit his allies: he's hard to bring down, but he has to come into melee range.
