Abilities

Riot's own text for each slot, in the order the champion learns them.

PASSIVE THOUSAND CUTS

Gwen's attacks deal bonus magic damage based on the target's health. She heals for a portion of the damage dealt to champions by this effect.

1 SNIP SNIP!

Gwen snips her scissors in a cone up to 6 times dealing magic damage. Gwen deals true damage to units in the center and applies her passive to them on each snip.

2 HALLOWED MIST

Gwen summons mist that protects her from enemies outside of it. She can only be targeted by enemies who enter the mist.

3 SKIP 'N SLASH

Gwen dashes a short distance then gains Attack Speed, attack range, and magic damage on-hit for a few seconds. If she hits an enemy during that time, this ability's cooldown is partially refunded.

ULTIMATE NEEDLEWORK

Gwen hurls a needle that slows enemies hit, deals magic damage, and applies A Thousand Cuts to champions hit. This ability can be cast up to two more times, with each cast throwing additional needles and dealing more damage.
