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 Udyr

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade after his stun

    Once Blazing Stampede (E) has stunned you, take your trade: he can't stun you again for a while.

  2. No CC while he's awakened

    If you have CC, don't use it when he awakens Blazing Stampede (E): he's immune to immobilizing effects then. Wait for the effect to end.

  3. Stay away from his storm

    Keep your distance from Wingborne Storm (R): it damages and slows nearby enemies every second, and once awakened, it follows the last enemy he hit.
