Gwen Tips and Tricks
- Gwen's Snip Snip! is best used when you have 4 stacks on the spell's passive as it deals more damage to anyone that gets hit by it. Using Snip Snip! when you've got no stacks will result in little to no damage. Furthermore, try to aim the ability so that its center hits the enemy since this results in the ability doing true damage and applying A Thousand Cuts.
- Hallowed Mist makes Gwen untargetable and makes her take no damage coming from outside of the mist, including cross-map projectiles such as Jinx and Ashe ultimates. This is really handy when you're doing Dragons, Baron or Herald as you can use the Hallowed Mist to not take hits from enemies and negate any chances of a Jinx stealing the objectives with her ultimate since it will pass through both the objective and you.
- Skip 'n Slash can be used as an auto-attack reset, always try to use it right after an auto-attack so that you can do a second one really quick for maximized poke.
- Gwen's Skip 'n Slash is a very short dash, but it does allow you to dash over some of the smaller jungle walls— make sure you know which ones!

Gwen Jungle Pathing Guide
Jungle Pathing represents the choices jungle players make in regards to when and where to gank, invade or just path towards. It includes how camps and buffs are cleared between ganks, anticipating counterganks, and spotting opportunities for invading. Effective pathing requires deep understanding of your champion's abilities, their interactions, and how both team compositions play into those choices.
Full clear with a Blue Buff start
The recommended jungle path for Gwen starts on Blue Buff with Snip Snip! at level one. After Blue Buff, unlock Skip 'n Slash and clear Gromp & Wolves. At level three upgrade Snip Snip! to speed up your clear. Then path into Raptors, Red Buff, and Krugs. Hitting level four unlocks Hallowed Mist, giving you strong dueling and a defensive tool for Scuttler or early ganks.
The route capitalizes on Gwen's fast clear speed to secure gold and XP advantages since she's all about scaling until 1-2 items acquired.
