Gwen Counters
Learn 's counters and discover matchups where they have an advantage! When you're starting a game of League of Legends you should always keep in mind if you'll be at an advantage or disadvantage against your opponent, so you can know whether to bully them or play safe. You can find detailed breakdowns of each matchup on CounterStats, and you can also check out some Gwen guides to see how to build and play against other champions you may find yourself up against!
This counter data is for Gwen Top in Plat+ games. The percent shown is the enemy champion's counter rating against Gwen. Counter rating is our own statistic that factors in counter kills, overall kills, early lead ratio, comeback ratio, and win percent to give the whole picture of that champion's effectiveness as a counter pick.

Active: Consumes stacks. Gwen snips once for 9 / 12 / 15 / 18 / 21 (+5% of ability power) magic damage, snips again for each ammo consumed, and then snips a final time for 45 / 60 / 75 / 90 / 105 (+25% of ability power) magic damage.
The center of each strikes deals true damage instead and applies A Thousand Cuts to enemies hit.
Empowered attacks gain 20 / 35 / 50 / 65 / 80% attack speed, 10 (+15% of ability power) magic damage on-hit, 50 attack range, and the first one to hit an enemy refunds 60% of this ability's cooldown.
Second Cast: Fire three needles to deal 90 / 165 / 240 (+24% of ability power) plus 3% (+2.4% per 100 ability power) of the target's max health as magic damage.
Third Cast: Fire five needles to deal 150 / 275 / 400 (+40% of ability power) plus 5% (+4% per 100 ability power) of the target's max health as magic damage.
