Tips Against Gwen in the Jungle Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

ludenbergangel says “Not worth 1v1ing her unless its early game, she's behind or you land your R on her. She drops your frenzy and dodges R if youre outside of her W mist”
EddeEken says “Hard early but even later; don’t fight inside her mist and abuse your range and true damage once you’re scaled”
OP Master Yi Guide by EddeEken | Master Yi Player
Arctic Arrow says “Gwen’s true damage and scaling make her tough, but her early game is weak — that’s your window. She shreds you later if you let her farm and scale, but early invades or skirmishes are heavily Briar-favored. The key is dodging the center of her Q, since that’s where the true damage hits. 🧠 Gameplan Summary ✅ Invade early — she’s weak and low HP on first clear. ✅ Dodge the Q center — step sideways when she winds it up. ✅ If she ults, E over her during the animation to outplay the burst. ⚠️ Don’t let her scale - 2-item Gwen is KO. 10x ✅ End games fast or snowball lanes — she outscales you hard late.”
Ultimate Briar Jng Guide by Arctic Arrow | Briar Player
Hazardist says “[[Gwen]] is generally strong against tanks and has an easy time dealing with someone as immobile and sluggish as [[Nautilus]] is, so you should never look to initiate on her unless at numbers advantage and, if anything, it's better to let her engage so you can spend your abilities on peeling for your carries. Runeset to take: [[Phase Rush]].”

NeonRST says “better at 1 v 1 than you, try to avoid even fights, only fight if ahead or better positioning”

AnalniyDarkin says “Dodges abilities with W. Has skillshot R, dashes on E. Builds HP/armor. Slightly annoying.”

lol_excalibur says “Another unkillable champ for Evelynn in jungle. Since Eve isn't very good at punishing these ultra scaling picks like Mundo and Gwen, you'll have a hard time shutting her down later on. Aim to get fed enough that you'll oneshot her before she's allowed to start health regenning, as she's a nightmare to deal with at that point. This can be done through ganking other lanes to stack that dark seal (and then mejai) up!”
Apari1010 says “Never see this champ in the jungle often. You beat her early if you have ignite and you bitch her in teamfights late game. Her ganks are weaker than yours and as long as you stay out of the middle of her Q, you should be fine. Knock her up inside of her W and just shred her apart. Constantly try to match where she's going to be on the map and fight her.”

Tips Against Gwen in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

TENSION019 says “Against most Gwen players, I usually prefer going AP build, because the true damage she deals is absolutely ridiculous. Take Phase Rush and Ignite. Go for Boots of Swiftness to dodge her Q slashes and R needles more easily. If you're going tank, build Hollow Radiance as your first core item. Try to kidnap her under your turret with your ultimate and finish her off there. ”
The River King by TENSION019 | Tahm Kench Player
BriarCachorra says “Muito difícil, mas counterável, o W dela anula o modo frenesi, tente tankar até o lvl 6 sem morrer e mete ult nela (o W dela fica inútil), se puder peça ajuda para seu Jungle.”

Inting Briar says “Try not to build HP at the beginning. She will delete you. Back off when she goes into that and dodge her ult.”

JB says “well ur fuc*ed. She hard outscales so u have to put her behind. Only good thing about this matchup is that most ppl who pick it vs you will pick it only because its counterpick and they dont know really how to play her. rush mr she doesnt deal that much true dmg and and dmg overall early game so rushing Kaenic rooker makes you really tanky vs her. Gwen players usually rush nashor into ksante which makes her squishy so if u manage to dodge her q with your e and then w-aa-q-aa her especially with aftershock :) will deal a lot and will let u take one sided trade which u can turn to an all-in next trade if he uses e she is pretty immobile for a while (until she start maxing her e which heavly cuts its cooldown). u kinda can run her down if u have any form of significant lead or she doesnt have ult. remember to buy anti heal after 1-2 items . in short e her q (dodge her middle part) and punish her as much as you can , call for jungler to help dive / make a lead”

TemoOnlyIfOK says “Frequency: 5/10 Annoyance: 5/10 Difficulty: 7/10 Summs: FLASH TP Runes: SPEED O2: YES Strat: Rush SWIFTIES into NASH Bully her early. She only heals when she hits champs with aas, the center of Q and R, so O2 is only needed later. Safe PR for her ult and run away.”
A different type of Teemo (Vibes-based WIP) by TemoOnlyIfOK | Teemo Player
theteemstress says “her whole kit is designed to counter characters like mundo (immobile tanks), and it shows in the lane. always stay away when her q is fully stacked, taking phase with scorch lets you poke her much easier. DO NOT BUILD DAMAGE, it seems like the best idea as gwen is squishy but you need your value to outperform her so health is the way to go.”

GodofBoi says “Sose álj bele a fullos passzívos q jába. lvl 6 után nagyon leburstul. és truedmg e van, ez nagyon érdekes tudd lenni. Baitelt ki a w-jét. Csapatharcba jobb vagy”

wizliam says “JGL - she is not a problem for Lillia and her hit and run playstyle counters Gwen's locked on playstyle.”
LILLIA ALL-STAR GUIDE by wizliam | Lillia Player
Azzin says “Gwen is pretty tough to play against if you play the standard way, but the AD build (and especially the phase rush) is excellent against her. You can bait her R and run out. Without her R you'll win easily most trades. Overall pretty hard matchup tho since she scales and snowballs alot harder than you do.”
asuratop1 says “Ritmo Fatal + Escudo (Flash/TP ou TP/Ignite) (Dá pra ir de Lâmina se estiver confiante) OU Impeto + Biscoito + Escudo (TP/Ignite). É uma lane bem tranquila até o LV6, a autoridade dos minions é sua sempre que a Gwen gastar o Q dela em vão, você tem que baitar isso. Se não for possível baitar, respeite, ou desvie do centro e compre uma luta. (Dedo) LV6, é um pouco delicado, você tem que tomar cuidado porque se ambos estiverem com 50% do HP, a Gwen vai ganhar o all-win, vai te caitar ou vai te dar um dano explosivo surpresa com 4 Stacks Q+R2/R3. Sabendo disso, a runa de impeto se cria uma vantagem porque você pode baitar esse cenario de all win e simplesmente recuar, jogando em dois tempos, basicamente a runa anula a única vantagem que a Gwen vai ter sobre o Jax ao decorrer do jogo, que é o Run Down. O Jax não consegue fugir do Run Down da Gwen sem o Impeto, é lutar ou morrer, por isso Ritmo Fatal é a unica opção, Grasp é extremamente ruim depois da lane phase, vai faltar DPS pra matar a Gwen e você toma IK antes de matar ela. Eu aconselho jogar team-fight, normalmente a Gwen supera o Jax na side lane por conta do dano bruto da Gwen. Melhor build: Trinity > Quebrapassos > Céu Dividido/Sterak. (bota de CDR)”
