Her origin story is as unique and captivating as her gameplay. She awoke for the very first time on a shadowy beach far from her home, a sentient doll brought to life by the very magic that animated her. By magic unbeknownst to her, she had been transformed into a living girl who could move her hands and feet—all on her own. This newfound sentience, combined with her innate connection to the Hallowed Mist, gives her a playful yet determined personality, eager to explore the world and protect the innocent. As a champion, Gwen is an AP (Ability Power) skirmisher, primarily played in the top lane. Her kit revolves around dealing sustained magic damage, particularly to high-health targets, while possessing incredible defensive capabilities through her W, Hallowed Mist. She excels in extended trades and thrives when she can continuously apply her passive damage. | Attribute | Details gwena-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-gwen-
