How it works

General
  1. You go Full Crit.
  2. You go in and play around Hail of Blades to burst enemies.
  3. You back away and wait for Hail of Blades. Repeat.
  4. This build works best if enemy team has squishy champions. If you are against a lot off-tanks/bruisers, this might not be best build. You can make it work, however, by rushing Lord Dominik's Regards.

How to play

General
  1. This build shines with 100% crit. You will instakill squishes. Until that, it might be challenging to 100-0 anyone. Look for opportunities to go in and score kills. Also focus on farming minions if possible (to scale faster).
  2. Wait for your moment to go for a kill. You have a big burst thanks to Full Crit and Hail of Blades, but you are squishy. And outside of Hail of Blades procs (especially early game) you don't have much damage.
  3. Snowball / Mark is an essential cooldown for this build. Do not waste it or even wait to hit the enemy at point-blank range to ensure hit (so you follow them, if they Flash).
  4. Enemy team might not check your items right away, you could use that for your advantage to nuke unsuspected enemy.
  5. After they checked your items and noticed that you have damage and are squishy, they are going to target you in fights. Be careful, after early game probably you need to modify your playstyle and stay back and wait for a good moment to join fights.
  6. If they have tons of CC, get Mercury's Treads, Edge of Night or even Mercurial Scimitar to counter that.
  7. If you are not doing well, or an enemy team is slightly ahead, you can adapt and buy tank items. Worst case scenario, you can sell everything late game and 'respec' into full tank.

Tips and Tricks

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