How to Beat Viego as Gwen (Jungle)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

The magic damage that Gwen deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Viego deals mainly physical damage (82.08%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Gwen is higher farming statistics (ranked 11th among role champions) (versus 20th for Viego), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.6 versus 2.4) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Gwen Jungle versus Viego Jungle matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Gwen player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Viego 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.

Gwen tips:

  • Always be Attacking - In addition to dealing bonus damage, Gwen's Attacks empower or reset many of her Abilities.
  • Gwen can still damage enemies outside her Hallowed Mists, especially with her Ultimate's range.
  • Some of Gwen's Abilities can apply her passive to multiple enemies, so aim them at groups to get maximum damage and healing.
