League of Legends' newest champion, Gwen, the Hallowed Seamstress's, abilities were revealed Tuesday giving fans a look at her new kit.
Riot Games describes her as, "A beloved doll, Gwen is taking her scissors, thread, and needle to protect what she cares about most. Snip and sew through enemies with this mysterious and determined seamstress."
League of Legends Gwen Abilities Revealed
Passive - Thousand Cuts
"Gwen's basic attacks deal bonus on-hit magic damage based on a percentage of her health. Basic attacks against champions will heal her for some of the damage dealt."
Q - Snip Snip!
"Gwen rapidly snips her scissors between two and six times, dealing magic damage in a cone. At a minimum, Gwen will snip twice, adding one snip per basic attack Gwen has landed on an enemy (up to four for a total of six)."
W - Hallowed Mist
"Gwen spins up the Hallowed Mist to surround her for five seconds, gaining some armor and magic resist when in it. Enemies outside the Mist cannot target Gwen or hit her with any abilities. The mist will move to follow Gwen the first time she tries to leave it, but will dissipate the next time."
E - Skip ’n Slash
"Gwen dashes a short distance and empowers her attacks with increased range, speed, and on-hit magic damage for four seconds. Attacking an enemy during this time refunds 50% of this ability’s cooldown."
R - Needlework
"Gwen can cast Needlework up to three times, but needs to hit an enemy within 8 seconds to unlock each subsequent cast. Each cast fires needles in a line that deal magic damage, slow enemies, and apply Gwen's Thousand Cuts bonus magic damage."
"The first cast will fire one needle, the second will fire three, and the final cast will fire five, for a total of nine needles and nine applications of Thousand Cuts to enemies hit."
