Gwen Build
The Hallowed Seamstress
A former doll transformed and brought to life by magic, Gwen wields the very tools that once created her. She carries the weight of her maker's love with every step, taking nothing for granted. At her command is the Hallowed Mist, an ancient and protective magic that has blessed Gwen's scissors, needles, and sewing thread. So much is new to her, but Gwen remains joyfully determined to fight for the good that survives in a broken world.
The most played Gwen Mid build on patch 26.21 runs First Strike with Cash Back, Biscuit Delivery and Jack Of All Trades, plus Absolute Focus and Gathering Storm from the secondary tree. Take Teleport and Flash. Start with Doran's Ring and Health Potion, then build Dusk and Dawn, Spellslinger's Shoes and Shadowflame, followed by Rabadon's Deathcap, Void Staff and Zhonya's Hourglass. Max Q (Snip Snip!) first, then E (Skip 'n Slash), then W (Hallowed Mist). It has a 54.3% win rate and a 0.4% pick rate.
