Thousand Cuts

PC
Passive

Innate: Gwen's basic attacks on-hit, the center of Snip Snip!, and Needlework deal bonus magic damage equal to 1% (+ 0.6% per 100 AP) of the target's maximum health.

Thousand Cuts is modified based on the target: *heal Gwen for 50% of post-mitigation damage dealt against champion, capped at 10 to 25% (+ 6.5% AP) per instance. *Deals an additional 8 to 30% bonus magic damage against minions that are below 40% health. * Deals a maximum of 10 (+ 15% AP) magic damage against monsters.

Cooldown|cost =

Snip Snip!

PC
Q

Passive: Gwen's basic attacks generate a stack of Snippy on-hit for 6 seconds, stacking up to 4 times and refreshing on subsequent attacks.

Active: Gwen snips at least twice with her scissors in a cone in the target direction over the cast time, dealing magic damage per snip to all enemies within the area, with the final snip dealing increased damage. The center of each snip converts 50% of the damage to true damage, then applies Thousand Cuts. Snip Snip! deals 75% damage against minions, and executes them on the first damage instance if they are below 20% health.

If Gwen has any Snippy stacks, she consumes them to snip an additional time for each.

Cooldown6.5 to 3.5

Hallowed Mist

PC
W

Active: Gwen summons the Hallowed Mist upon her current location, lasting for 4 seconds. Hallowed Mist can be recast after 0.5 seconds, and does so automatically if Gwen attempts to leave the area.

While inside the mist, Gwen gains bonus armor and bonus magic resistance and is untargetable to all enemies (except turret and monsters) outside of the mist.

Recast: Gwen commands the mist to move to her current location.

Cooldown22 to 18

Skip 'n Slash

PC
E

Active: Gwen dash to the target location, then empowers her basic attacks within the next 4 seconds to deal 15 (+ 20% AP) bonus magic damage on-hit and gain bonus attack speed and 75 bonus attack range.

Gwen's first basic attack within the duration refunds a portion of Skip 'n Slash's cooldown.

Skip 'n Slash basic attack reset Gwen's basic attack timer, and can be cast during any of her abilities, and vice versa. Skip 'n Slash will cast at max range if cast beyond that.

Cooldown13 to 11

Needlework

PC
Ultimate

Active: Gwen launches a needle in the target direction that deals magic damage to enemies hit and slow them for 1.5 seconds.

Needlework can be recast twice more within 6 seconds of the activation at no additional cost, with a 1-second static cooldown between casts. Each subsequent cast refreshes the duration and increases the number of needles launched by 2. Needle hits beyond the first slow by a reduced amount against each individual target.

Recast: Gwen mimics the first cast's effects, while barraging three needles on the second cast and five on the third cast.
