Gwen is best used when building weapon power. She can deal damage while giving boosts to herself and balancing the battlefield in the Fold. Gwen is extremely good at farming well in the lane! Other lane heros you may have trouble farming with while trying to not be killed by the enemy, but with this hero there is a lot less difficulty doing that. The two abilities I recommend taking the overdrive for are the 1st and 2nd ones, because her ultimate doesn't do much than stun and it will benefit you more to take the overdrive of the other two abilities. Using this build, you can deal large amounts of damage while healing yourself in the mix. The reason I have halcyon chargers for her boots, is because I've found to be out of energy pretty quickly so I recommend getting those about half way through the game. If some people still feel like they run out too fast, I would recommend switching out a weapon item for a crystal one such as clockwork. For her substitutes and extras, tension bow is a good item to use for Gwen because of the extra damage it gives you off of the first basic shot. That plus her passive ability, (gives Gwen a critical hit that does a lot of damage every 1.6 seconds of not attacking) makes her dish out HUGE damage off of a first hit and can be deadly when catching enemies by surprise. If people prefer Tornado Trigger, (like I do with a lot of heroes) you can switch that out. Serpents mask may also be a good alternative for people who like using that with laners. I chose Aegis as a defense because it has good shield and can block, but if there is no roam on your team and no one has the Fountain of Renewal I would recommend getting that because it is very very helpful. Metal Jacket is also a good item to use if your enemy has a lot of weapon damage. Other than that, just follow this build and you should do well! Check out my other builds for Gwen, (Tank and overpowered weapon damage) if those fit more your playing style!

This build is basically the same stuff as the original weapon powered build, but all weapon power and no defense. I use recommend two sorrowblades to dish out serious damage and your bone saw and breaking point give you a lot of attack speed plus the tyrants monocale gives you the critical damage! I still recommend the Halcyon chargers for energy. And of course if you prefer the tension bow or serpents mask you can replace those with another weapon item.

This build is kind of the opposite of OPWP Gwen. I would recommend using this build if your team doesn't have a roam character or if you like being a tank and being hard to kill. Crucible, Fountain of Renewale, and Metal Jacket are the three utility items I recommend. All of them give you defense, health, and block. For the two weapon items though, I suggest sorrow blade and tornado trigger because they are the basic weapon items for more damage and fast attack speed. I still like the Halcyon chargers for her, but this is the build that you could also use War Treads. You can also switch out Aegis for a crucible to give you more shield against enemies with crystal attack and breaking point or bonesaw instead of tornado trigger if you like that better. Thank you for taking the time to look through all my builds for Gwen! I hope they help you dominate with this awesome hero in the Fold and you have fun and enjoy playing with her as much as I do!! :)
