Warwick Champion Abilities

Eternal Hunger

Warwick's attacks deal an additional 12-46 (+10% of ability power) (+0.15 per bonus attack damage) magic damage on hit.

If Warwick is below 50% health, he also heals for 100% of the damage dealt by Eternal Hunger. If Warwick is below 25% health, the healing is increased to 250% of the damage dealt. P

Jaws of the Beast

Tap: Warwick lunges forward and bites, dealing 120% of his attack (+90% of ability power) plus 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10% max health as magic damage and restoring 30 / 45 / 60 / 75 / 90% of damage dealt as health.

Hold: Warwick lunges and clamps his jaws on the target, leaping behind them. While clamped, Warwick follows all movement of the target. After releasing his hold, he does the same damage and healing. Q

Warwick Tips and Tricks

Warwick is a strong early-game jungler. Look to gank frequently to gain an early advantage. Whenever your R is available, try to use it to secure a kill for yourself or your allies. Warwick also has strong Dragon control early on, so make sure to secure as many Dragons as possible to give your team an edge.

Situational Warwick Runes and Items

Against AP-heavy teams, investing in Magic Resist can be beneficial. Always analyze the game situation to optimize Warwick’s itemization and rune choices accordingly.
