Warwick Wild Rift Best Build Guide

Dirty-hunt bruiser build: Warwick wins when a target that is already chipped loses the right to leave the sequence. The build must therefore reinforce his access to that chase, his durability in first contact, and his ability to convert a won pick or duel into map advantage.
