Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range and poke with Q, as Warwick has no gap closer and must walk through minions to trade.
- Post-6 you dominate if you land E before his engage, but lose if he gets on top of you without your spirit up.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading is E into Q combo when Warwick steps up for CS, then back away before he can retaliate with sustained damage.
- Never commit to extended trades without your spirit, as his Q sustain and W attack speed will out-DPS you in melee range.
Wave Control
- Push early levels to establish lane priority and deny Warwick's ability to freeze, but be ready to thin the wave before major item spikes.
- You want the wave in the center or slightly pushing toward him to have space for E angles without tower interference.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight Warwick in extended melee trades without your E spirit active, as his Q healing and W attack speed make him surprisingly strong in sustained combat.
- Don't waste E on minions when he's in range to engage, as it's your only tool to win the all-in.
