Gwen Matchups Overview
Gwen General information
Gwen tips and tricks
Go in for a
Q combo when you have lots of stacks. Avoid using your
Qif you have 0 stacks. The best time to trade is when you have 4 stacks.
Keeping the minion wave closer to your side of the map will allow you to chase the enemy down and kill them.
If you’re committing to a trade with the enemy, your
W will give you extra defensive stats to help keep you alive. Cast your
W if you are fully committing to a fight.
