Prioritize surviving early trades by using (E) to block Warwick's auto attacks and fear, then scale into your stronger dueling power.
Maintain medium lane pressure to avoid giving Warwick a passive lane and keep control of trades.
This is a scaling duel matchup where you want to reach your item spikes and force side-lane fights to leverage your late-game strength.
Trading pattern
Bait Warwick's auto attacks into (E) to stun and then follow up with empowered trades using (Q) and (W).
Avoid trading when (E) is down or (E) fear is available to minimize risk.
Extend trades only after reaching your item spikes or level 6 (R) when your durability and damage improve.
Danger windows
Respect (E) fear and (R) suppression cooldowns; avoid committing when these are up and ready.
Be vulnerable after using (E) since your main defensive tool is down; avoid extended trades in these windows.
Warwick's early level 3 and level 6 spikes create high threat moments; play cautiously and avoid overextending during these times.
Early game
Use (E) defensively to absorb Warwick's burst and fear, then counterattack during the stun window.
Avoid extended fights before your first item spike; focus on farming safely and preserving health.
Be cautious using (Q) aggressively without (E) ready, as Warwick can punish your lack of escape or defense.
Power spikes
At level 6, use your (R) to increase durability and sustain longer trades; only engage extended fights when (E) is available or Warwick's cooldowns are down.
Your two-item spike significantly increases your splitpush and duel threat; force side-lane pressure to capitalize.
Respect Warwick's level 3 power spike when he has full kit and sustain; use (E) to absorb his burst and avoid prolonged fights before your spike.
Win conditions
Survive early trades by smartly using (E) and farming safely to reach your item and level 6 spikes.
Force isolated side-lane duels after your two-item spike to maximize your scaling duel advantage.
Use (Q) and (E) combos to punish Warwick when his key cooldowns are down, denying him low-health chase opportunities and pick setups.
