Warwick Top Lane Build Guides, Runes, Items, and Abilities

Warwick is a monster who hunts the gray streets of Zaun. Transformed by horrific experiences, his body is now equipped with an intricate system of chambers and pumps that injects alchemical rage into his veins. Emerging from the shadows, he tracks down the criminals who terrorize the depths of the city. Warwick is drawn to blood, the smell of which drives him mad. If its prey bleeds, it has no chance of escaping him.

Warwick has good single target damage and an ability to move quickly around the map. Items that strengthen Warwick's defense and allow him to dive into the fray are therefore preferred.

• Jaws of the Beast + Chase Combo
• Combo is used to time the blink or dashes on the enemies so Warwick will stick like glue as it follows blinks and/or dashes. Also follows Hextech Rocketbelt

• This combo will allow Warwick to "blink" out of any crowd control effects
• Jaws of the Beast + Backdash
• Hold down Q and Warwick will appear behind the target

Warwick becomes effective as a duelist the game progresses. You should be very active with Warwick in the window of time when he is most effective, ie the middle of the game. Follow in the footsteps of low health champions via Blood Hunt to move around the map faster and create opportunities as often as possible.

You can, with your sustain slay Dragons or Herald in the Rift fairly early in the game, as long as you make sure the enemy doesn't see you.

In team fight, try to arrive from the sides in order to place Primal Howl which will frighten several enemies and give you time to find a carry or isolated champion with Infinite Duress. Once in the fray, never stop fighting in order to keep yourself alive. The lower your life, the more your sustain increases.

Warwick is a powerful champion that fulfills the role of offensive tank and initiator. Warwick is one of the best champions in the game at forcing an engagement and taking people in and out of the fight. Building him offensively/defensively enables you to spread havoc all over the battlefield as you pursue and avoid pursuit yourself.

Overall, This Warwick Guide includes mainly skill sequence, summoner spells, the most important aspect which is the match-up against each champions.
