Quinn vs Gwen

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use Quinn's ranged poke and (Q) blind to deny Gwen melee farm and prevent her from stacking (Q).
Prioritize lane pressure and wave crashes to enable early roams with (R) and avoid giving Gwen a passive scaling lane.

Trading pattern

Trade short bursts using (Q) and ranged autos, then disengage with (E) before Gwen can stack (Q) or use (W) defensively.
Punish Gwen when (W) is down by stepping forward for quick trades and forcing cooldowns.
Avoid extended melee fights where Gwen's stacked (Q) and passive healing overpower Quinn's burst.

Danger windows

Gwen is most dangerous when (Q) is stacked and she can force extended trades inside (W); avoid staying in melee range during these windows.
Be cautious when (E) is down, as Gwen can engage more reliably and punish Quinn's lack of disengage.
Watch for (R) recasts in all-ins, especially after she commits with stacked (Q) and (W) active.

Early game

Aggressively harass Gwen early before she stacks (Q) and reaches item spikes to limit her healing and damage potential.
Hold (E) to disengage Gwen's engage attempts and maintain spacing during her short trades.
Crash waves quickly after pushing to create roam opportunities and avoid extended fights where Gwen excels.

Power spikes

At level 6, crash the wave and use (R) to roam and create map pressure before Gwen can respond.
After first marksman damage item, pressure isolated targets aggressively while keeping (E) ready to escape Gwen's engage.
Respect Gwen's level 6 spike with (R) slow and multi-cast damage by avoiding prolonged fights inside her (W) mist zone.

Win conditions

Dominate lane by denying Gwen melee farm with ranged poke and (Q) blind to prevent her from scaling comfortably.
Use wave crashes to roam early and create side-lane pressure or picks with (R) mobility.
Force short trades and disengage before Gwen can stack (Q) or activate (W), preventing her from entering extended fights where she thrives.
