Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 through superior base stats and Q poke, but Gwen can trade back effectively with Q stacks.
- At level 6, Gwen becomes significantly stronger as her R provides massive damage and healing while your R mainly offers tenacity and attack speed.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves landing Q to slow Gwen, then running her down with W active for lifesteal and attack speed.
- Always try to trade when your W is available and disengage when it's on cooldown since you lack sustain without it.
Wave Control
- Push early waves to establish level advantages before Gwen scales, but be careful not to overextend without vision.
- After level 6, focus on freezing near your tower to force Gwen to overextend for farm since she outscales you in extended trades.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never chase Gwen into her W mist as you become untargetable to her abilities but she can still hit you while being immune to yours.
- Avoid trading when your W is on cooldown as you'll lose the sustain battle against her passive healing and Q execution damage.
