How to win lane as Camille against Gwen · 44.07% win rate over 329 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Gwen is a weak level 1 with no all-in, but so are you — contest CS with W's edge or an E-poke and don't overcommit before your level 2 spike. |
| Level 2 | Camille | Your E-stun into the Q true-damage recast lets you win a short burst trade before her Q snip and E attack-speed come online. |
| Level 3 | Camille | With E, W and Q up you can E-stun in, W-slash for percent-HP and self-heal, then Q-burst — your cleanest lane-bully window before she stacks items. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Trades go neutral here: her Q's final snip deals % true damage and her E grants attack-speed to win extended trades, so only commit when her W mist is on cooldown. |
| Level 6 | Gwen | Her first-item spike flips the lane — even one Riftmaker component plus her true damage and sustain beat your bruiser/lethality power. |
| First item | Gwen | Hallowed Mist makes her untargetable inside it, so your R can't isolate her and your dive stalls while her Q shreds you — she wins the 6 window. |
| Two+ items | Gwen | Riftmaker + Nashor's out-sustain and out-DPS you, and W untargetability shuts off your R dive — avoid the duel and roam instead. |
Gwen is a weak level 1 like you, so contest the first wave with the outer edge of your W or a quick E-poke rather than walking in for an auto — her passive's bonus true damage isn't stacked yet and she has no all-in. Your only clean window is levels 2-3: get your E down and use E-stun into the Q recast (the second hit deals bonus true damage) to win a short burst trade before her Q's final snip (% true damage) and her E attack-speed make extended trades a wash. Do NOT sit trading autos in her Q range — her true-damage snip out-trades your basic attacks and she just dashes out on E.
