Scuttle Contest

At level 3, you win the scuttle fight if you land your E dash to reposition and chain Q procs efficiently, as your burst pattern outpaces Warwick's sustained damage before he can stack his W healing — however, if you let him stick to you without dashing out, his W sustain will outlast your burst window.
From level 6, your R gives you a gap-close and knockdown that lets you dictate the engage, but you must burst him down within the R lockdown window because once he stabilizes and his W activates at low HP, his healing becomes nearly unkillable territory.

Warwick most commonly runs a full clear starting Red Buff side, then Raptors or Wolves into Scuttle, prioritizing camps that let his W passive heal him efficiently — he will look for a level 3 gank on a pushed lane or contest scuttle immediately after his first clear.
Expect him to path toward whichever side lane has an overextended enemy, as his E fear and W suppress make him a strong early ganker even without R.

You should invade Warwick at his second buff (the one opposite his start) around the 3:15–3:30 mark when he is between camps and at reduced HP — your Q mobility and burst pattern can kill or severely damage him before he reaches a health threshold where his W passive healing becomes relevant.
Avoid invading his Red Buff start at level 1 because his W sustain on a full-HP target with no cooldowns spent means you will not have the damage to finish him.

Do not let Warwick dictate extended fights by standing still and trading autos — his W healing scales with missing HP and will completely negate your damage if you do not use your E dashes to create burst windows and then disengage before he stabilizes.
Burning your E purely for mobility without landing Q empowered hits wastes your primary damage pattern and leaves you with no escape tool if he lands his R on you.
