The Hallowed Seamstress is making her way to Summoners Rift! "League of Legends" is releasing the new chmapion in patch 11.8 along with the rest of the Space Groove Series.

With that said, we made a rundown of Gwen's skills and abilities. Pro tips are also available to get you started with her combos.

Gwen, The Hallowed Seamstress, is a highly anticipated champion in "League of Legends" for two reasons: her lore and top lane abilities. Gwen is a former doll from The Shadow Isles crafted by Isolde, who is the wife of the iconic Ruined King. One day, this doll wakes up to find herself as a human girl, and now she's ready to take on the black mist. As Gwen enters the LoL universe, the stories of the "Ruination" have started to come to life.

Riot has also teased prior to her release that Gwen would be a top lane champion. Traditionally, this would imply hard-carry champions with good burst damage that is essential in late-game fights. Gwen plans to deliver with her in-game skill set.

Pro-Tip

  • Gwen has a small purple bar underneath her health. Use this indicator to create four stacks before activating your Q to get the extra damage
  • Use your W to avoid most ranged attacks and damage. Be careful of juggernauts who could deal burst damage inside your zone

  • Use your R in an angle that lets you utilize piercing damage by hitting enemies behind your target.
