Gwen Conqueror Burst Guide
Patch 26.19 Diamond+·Difficulty:
Gwen is a scaling AP skirmisher who farms to 6, then hunts with R and a charged Q. This is the Conqueror burst build: Dusk and Dawn, Sorcerer's Shoes, Shadowflame, then Rabadon's Deathcap. Her damage takes a few hits to ramp up, so the early game is camps and patience; from 6 on, stack Conqueror on the frontline, then R the carry and finish with a full Q. Every item makes her stronger, so gold is the plan.

Quick Tips
All phases
- •You scale with every item. Pick camps and gold over coin flip fights.
- •If you burn Ghost early, farm and cross map before you look for another play.
- •Kha'Zix is your hardest matchup this patch. Track him and never fight him alone in your jungle before Zhonya's.

Early Game
Before 1st item
- •Full clear first. Your first clear should have you level 4 by 3:03, and by 2:59 once you are Master.
- •Clear top to bot.
- •Q needs four hits to charge and you have little attack speed early, so farm to 6 rather than forcing ganks.
- •Only gank a lane whose enemy is pushed far up. Ghost is what lets a longer gank reach them.
- •Walk out of each camp with Q stacks and keep them alive by hitting a plant or a ward on the way to the fight.
First Back
Regular full clear & crab
Core Build Examples
Default
vs heavy AD
Extended fights
vs heavy CC
Mid Game
1-3 items
- •R at 6 is when Gwen starts playing: R up means look for the fight, R down means farm and cross map.
- •Base the moment Dusk and Dawn is affordable, then build toward Shadowflame the same way.
- •In fights, stack Q and Conqueror on the frontline first, then choose: Q onto the back line, or keep shredding the tanks.
- •Lurk behind a side laner and turn their 1v1 into a 2v1.

- •Rabadon's is the spike: one full Q after R lands on a carry takes them out.
- •Go in second. Wait for their CC to be spent, then R the carry.
- •Stand at the edge of W so the enemy has to walk into the mist to hit you.
- •Take the gold on the map between fights; every item still makes you stronger.
