Damage doesn't equal wins: Gwen outputs more damage (748 vs 709/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output.

Despite the slight difference in effectiveness, in the Gwen versus Naafiri matchup in the jungle, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.
The magic damage that Gwen deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Naafiri deals mainly physical damage (89.94%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
An important advantage of Gwen is higher farming statistics (ranked 18th among role champions) (versus 42nd for Naafiri), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (3.0 versus 2.4) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Gwen player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Naafiri player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.
