Banshee's Veil for Annul and Magic Resistance

  • Dusk and Dawn
  • Chainlaced Crushers
  • Nashor's Tooth
  • Riftmaker
  • Void Staff
  • Banshee's Veil

When enemy damage leans magic and one key ability must be blocked

Banshee's Veil adds 105 Ability Power and 40 Magic Resistance, bringing build 1 to 70 Magic Resistance in total. Its Annul passive is a spell shield that blocks the next hostile ability, on a 30-second cooldown. Blocking one decisive hit lets you reset a dangerous moment. The 105 Ability Power rides along, so the Magic Resistance costs no damage.

Rabadon's Deathcap for a bigger Ability Power pool

  • Dusk and Dawn
  • Chainlaced Crushers
  • Nashor's Tooth
  • Riftmaker
  • Void Staff
  • Rabadon's Deathcap

When enemies have few magic damage sources and AP scaling matters more

Rabadon's Deathcap adds 130 Ability Power and its Overkill passive increases AP by 30%. The extra AP also feeds the attack side of the build. Nashor's Tooth's Gnaw scales with 30% bonus AP on hit, and Dusk and Dawn's Spellblade adds 10% AP to the next attack after an ability. Build 2 totals 365 Ability Power, build 1 totals 340.

Gwen Strengths

  • Max-HP percentage damage that cuts through even tanks
  • Hallowed Mist blocks ranged attacks and CC from outside
  • Strong sustain and sustained damage from her passive

Gwen Weaknesses

  • ×No hard CC, so mobile enemies easily slip away
  • ×Relatively weak early laning phase that must be endured
  • ×Forced into melee range and vulnerable to sudden burst

Early Game

Build Skill 1 stacks on minions and harass so the true-damage center lands on the opponent. Until you get your Ult at level 5, avoid forced fights and focus on farming.

Mid Game

Once your core items start coming online, you become hard to stop in a 1v1. Farm gold through split pushing, and use the untargetability of Skill 2 (Hallowed Mist) to take skirmishes.

Late Game

With high sustained damage and healing, you can cut down even durable tanks in a short time. Deployed in the right spot, Skill 2 keeps ranged attacks off you. Push the frontline without hesitating.

Teamfights

Hit their frontline to heal through your passive, while firing your Ult needles so they reach the backline. Time Skill 2 for the moment heavy enemy skills come your way; that neutralizes their focus.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

Using Skill 1 (Snip Snip!) without stacks

Harassing with Skill 1 (Snip Snip!) before building stacks with basic attacks is a mistake. The true-damage area is small and the damage is low, so it only wastes mana. Build the full 4 stacks on minions first, then dash in with Skill 3 and land the true-damage center on the enemy.

Gwen Combos

Stack Consumption Combo

Gwen Patch History

Gwen
GwenPatch 7.2d
Nerf
Snip Snip! AP Ratio per Hit: 7% → 6% Final Hit AP Ratio: 35% → 30% Damage to Jungle Monsters: 105% → 100% Gwen was among the biggest winners from Twilight and Dawn and the boot changes. This trims her in lane and in the jungle at once — with the monster modifier back to even, her clear speed drops noticeably.
Gwen
GwenPatch 6.3c
Buff
Skip'n Slash Enhanced attack damage: 10 + 15% AP → 10 + 18% AP Gwen leans on her enhanced attacks for steady chip damage, so a 3% larger AP ratio compounds with every item she finishes. The same ability clears the wave and pokes her lane opponent, which makes her trades easier to plan. The longer she stays swinging on the front line, the more the extra ratio adds up.
