Tips and Tricks
Champion
- Hallowed Mist (W) is great tool for tanking. Be smart about it and do not use it right away.
Riot
- Always be Attacking - In addition to dealing bonus damage, Gwen's Attacks empower or reset many of her Abilities.
- Gwen can still damage enemies outside her Hallowed Mists, especially with her Ultimate's range.
- Some of Gwen's Abilities can apply her passive to multiple enemies, so aim them at groups to get maximum damage and healing.
Skill Order
