| First item | Gwen | On her first AP item Gwen's true-damage shred out-trades your sustain. |
| Two+ items | Gwen | In the 2-item window Gwen's fog and mobility out-duel your all-in. |
Levels 1-3 are an even skill check; Gwen's early Snip Snip (Q) costs mana and her E is not up on repeat, so neither champ owns the farm phase.
