Why this duo works

Gwen benefits from crowd control that lets her land her full damage and from an enchanter who can keep her alive through an extended fight. Nami brings both with Q/R setup, healing, movement speed, and E's damage-and-slow buff.

Measured in High Elo: this duo wins 1.2pp more often than expected over 1,004 games.

Playing the duo

Gwen mains recommend CC chains to help her hit her abilities and say enchanters can keep a fed Gwen alive longer; Nami's Q/R provide the setup, while W heals and P grants her movement speed.

How to play as Gwen

Commit after Nami's bubble or wave catches the group; the CC gives you a cleaner window to land Q's center and follow with repeated R casts, while her heal and speed help you stay in the fight.

How to play as Nami

E Gwen before she commits so her next attacks or spells add damage and slow, then follow her target with Q or R to hold enemies in place for Gwen's Q and Needlework.
