Threat Hero Notes
1
 Ardan Ardan's Ultimate can be easily countered by Gwen's B making his Ultimate against her useless.
1
 Reim Reim hardly poses any threat to Gwen. She can easily kite Reim. If Reim does manage to get a hit on Gwen it will slow her drastically but she can just use her B to run away and continue kiting Reim.
1
 Phinn Gwen can easily outrun Phinn and use her B to counter his Ultimate.
1
 Flicker Flicker is not the strongest of supports. His A and B can root and slow enemies. However, Gwen can counter all of this with her B ability.
2
   No Threat
3
 Joule Gwen outranges Joule and can just kite her all day long. Joule can stun Gwen with her A, but Gwen can easily counter this with her B. However if Joule can get a few hits on Gwen it could devastating.
3
 Catherine Catherine's A can be easily countered by Gwen's B. The only thing she has against Gwen is her shield and once that is gone Catherine is dead meat.
3
 Lance Weapon power Lance can deal a TON of damage. But if Gwen ever gets hit with Lances A she can quickly counter it with her B.
3
 Baron Crystal power Baron barely poses a threat to Gwen. His abilities do incredible amounts of damage but they take REALLY long to hit, and Gwen being one of the fastest players in the game can easily dodge his moves. Weapon power Baron can do a little better against Gwen because he outranges Gwen. But Gwen is so rapid and Baron is so slow that it wouldn't make much of a difference.
3
 Krul As long as Gwen keeps her distance from Krul and doesn't let him get any stacks Krul is a goner. Gwen could also counter his ultimate with her B.
4
 Skaarf Skaarf can deal heavy damage, but Gwen can easily escape his B before it gets ignited by Skaarf's A.
5
 Taka If Taka ever chooses to go invisible, Gwen's A ability has a good chance of hitting Taka and exposing him. However you still need to be cautious around Taka because he puts in a lot of damage building weapon power or crystal power.
5
 Alpha Alpha has one gap closer but that's about it. Gwen could just use her B or boots to run away then continue to kite alpha.
5
 Rona Rona's A is a gap closer. Rona can also deal a ton of damage. Just try to stay away from Rona and you'll be fine.
5
 Koshka Koshka is a gap closer and can deal heavy damage but she really falls of late game. She might terrorize you early and mid game, but late game you should be able to gun her down.
6
 Vox Gwen and Vox both have short range but Vox has resonance. The damage from the bounces early game really start to add up which makes you have to take frequents trips to spawn. In the late game however this shouldn't be a problem unless he is building crystal power.
6
 Celeste Celeste is always a pain for other heroes as she does quite a lot of damage. However her moves do take a little longer to hit than most. Gwen, being one of the fastest heroes in Vainglory can dodge these moves. Gwen is squishy however so if one of these moves land the effects would be devastating.
6
 Fortress Fortress is also one of the fastest heroes in Vainglory. He can catch up to Gwen and do good damage building wp or cp. However Fortress can only run really fast when he is around allies. So if he is alone, he shouldn't be much of a problem.
6
 Petal A CP Petal would be a slight problem for Gwen as Gwen doesn't do splash damage. However she packs a punch and can gun down her minions easily. Weapon power petal is more of a threat since she outranges Gwen and can jump away from Gwen.
6
 Skye Skye slightly outranges Gwen. If Skye is building wp it might be a pain to deal with. But a cp Skye wouldn't be as big of a threat
6
 Ringo A 1v1 against Ringo would come down to skill as both characters are similar in play style and they both pack a punch.
6
 Gwen Let the best Gwen win!
6
 Samuel Samuel can be annoying and deal heavy damage but his Ultimate can be countered by Gwen's B.
7
   No Threat
8
 Glaive If Glaive manages to hit Gwen with his A. Gwen is dead meat. However if she counters it with her B she still has a chance of staying in the fight. The problem with using Gwen's B in this situation is that you have to time it correctly.
9
   No Threat
10
 Adagio Adagio outranges Gwen and if building weapon or crystal can deal heavy damage and heal himself as well. Adagio is one of those hero's that is really hard to counter.
10
 Blackfeather Blackfeather is a monster late game and he is a gap closer. He will completely obliterate Gwen so make sure to stay away from him.
10
 SAW Saw completely out ranges Gwen and when his spin up is stacked up to 12 he will completely obliterate Gwen. Never go into a 1v1 with SAW unless you are 100% certain that you will win.
10
 Ozo Ozo is the master of all gap closers. He can easily get close to Gwen and kill her building wp or cp.
10
 Lyra A cp or wp Lyra would completely obliterate Gwen because she has superior range and has the ability to heal herself. A support Lyra wouldn't be much of a problem however.
10
 Kestrel Wp or cp Kestrel poses a major threat to any hero and Gwen is no exception. She outranges Gwen and deals HEAVY damage.

Upgrading Gwen's Abilites! Top

When playing weapon power Gwen you should always take the overdrive on her B and C. The sole purpose of her A is to slow enemies and to reveal there positions, not to do damage. You want to upgrade her B first because it is basically a reflex block and a speed boost in one. Her B is the only reason she isn't dominated by every hero in the game. You want to take the overdrive on this ability because you want to be able to use it as frequent as possible. Gwen's ultimate is also another reason why Gwen is a strong hero. Landing her ultimate can be the difference between winning or losing a 1v1. You should always take the overdrive on Gwen's ultimate because you want to be able to use it as often as possible.

Choosing Gwen's Items! Top

I ALWAYS get a Tension Bow with Gwen. Gwen's heroic perk makes her basic attack after 1.6 seconds without attacking stronger. Combine this with a Tension Bow and her first shot will be a Banger! Another item I get with Gwen is a Breaking Point. Just keep on attacking the enemy heroes and get some stacks and you will be doing incredible amounts of damage. A Sorrow Blade is in this build just for the sole purpose of doing more damage to the enemy. A tornado trigger is in this build to attack faster and to try to get critical strikes. Get an Aegis if the enemies are building Crystal, and get a Metal Jacket if the enemies are building Weapon. If one is WP, and the other is building CP build a defensive item defending yourself against the hero you think will do the most damage toward Gwen. Or if you want you can swap out the boots so you can have an Aegis and a Metal Jacket. But never switch out a Weapon Power Item or else the build won't work. The point of the Sprint Boots in the build are to make Gwen insanely fast.

How To Play Gwen! Top

Gwen is a pretty simple character to play. The main strategy it to kite all melee's as Gwen is really fast. If any trouble ever occurs Gwen can just use her B to get out of it. Gwen's A is useful as well. Gwen can use it to shoot into bushes, or try to expose invisible characters. Also if somebody is one shot and running away Gwen can use her A to drastically slow them down. Use Gwen's ultimate in 1v1. Gwen already packs a punch and if she stuns the enemy she will definitely win the 1v1. The strategy against ranged heroes in the early game, especially those who outrange Gwen is to have your heroic perk and Tension Bow loaded up and shoot at them and run away. In the late game there range shouldn't mean much, just get in range quickly and gun them down!
