How to Play
- Don't force without information: Warwick excels at counter-gank and timed targets.
- Activate E before entering to dampen the burst, then re-cast to fear at the right time.
- Short trades under Q, frequent wave reset; call your jungler as soon as W reveals low HP.
- Against duelists, don't lengthen: DR from E → exit, repeat until kill.
- Simple paths and early ganks: huge spike at level 5 for Herald/dragon.
- Aggressive vision and fog: R surprises more diagonally.
Playing Against
- Counter cleanse/QSS, feints an initial engagement to force the active, then re-engages 20-30s later.
- Anticipate peels: keep Q to follow a key dash/Flash.
- Respects parry/anti-CC windows (Fiora, Irelia); bait then punish.
- Freeze near your tower to set-up E→R with your jungler.
- Time Dragon fights around your R at levels 5, 9, and 13 to force a 5v4.
