Master Tier Analysis

Your Win Condition

Burst her down quickly.

General Strategy

Most Gwen players are unskilled ('morons'), but be cautious if she uses W (Hallowed Mist) intelligently. Prevent her from stacking her passive for Q on the wave. Use Ghost to move out of her Q snip area (reduces damage and healing). Use Flash intelligently to dodge her R/max Q. Triforce is highly recommended for burst damage to one-shot her.

Trading Patterns

Force the fight when she is in a weaker state (low Q stacks). If you commit, look for a quick combo (E-RWQ-Ult) to burst through her. Time your ultimate or final damage to land the instant her ultimate invulnerability ends. Do not stand still (Lethal Tempo is not recommended).
