How to play it

Respect her E
Skip 'n Slash is her damage engage: save your W for when she E's instead of sitting in it.
Win the early all-in
You can win the all-in before 6 if you sidestep her Q and ignite early to stack Conqueror.
Short trades only
Go E-Auto-Q then run: a drawn-out all-in loses to her E damage and W resists.
Never commit to a long all-in against Gwen: her E damage and W resists mean you lose the extended fight.
