Warwick Top guide

Warwick top is a sustain duelist built around Jaws of the Beast (Q), Blood Hunt (W), and Infinite Duress (R): bite with Jaws of the Beast to heal off the trade, let Blood Hunt mark a low-health opponent for bonus speed and attack speed, then close with Infinite Duress to suppress and finish them while Eternal Hunger (passive) heals him back from every attack.

The build

Rune page: Lethal Tempo, Presence of Mind, Legend: Alacrity, and Last Stand (Precision), with Second Wind and Revitalize (Resolve). Summoners: Flash and Barrier. Skill order opens Jaws of the Beast (Q) at level 1, then maxes Jaws of the Beast (Q) first with Blood Hunt (W) second. Starter: Doran's Blade and a Health Potion, into Plated Steelcaps. Core build: Blade of The Ruined King, Stridebreaker, and Death's Dance, with Kraken Slayer, Spirit Visage, and Thornmail as later options.

Ability mechanics

Eternal Hunger (passive) adds bonus magic damage to Warwick's basic attacks and heals him for that amount once he drops below half health, tripling under a quarter. Jaws of the Beast (Q) is a lunging bite that deals damage based on the target's maximum health and heals him for the damage dealt. Blood Hunt (W) grants Move Speed and attack speed against enemies under half health, tripling both bonuses once they fall under a quarter.
