Everything You Need to Know About Warwick in League of Legends

Warwick is a Zaunite by nature, and designed as a Fighter and Bruiser, he excels at dueling, in fact he loves it. So if that is your kind of champion, you might want to pick up the Uncaged Wrath of Zaun.

We got a glimpse at Warwick at the end of the hit League of Legends TV show, Arcane Season 1, and combined with his release cinematic upon rework, we think he is just such a cool champion, and we know you will think the same after reading this article containing everything you need to know about Warwick!

Warwick’s abilities in League of Legends

Passive: Eternal Hunger
 

Warwick’s Passive is very simple, but it has two parts. The first is that he deals bonus magic damage with every auto attack he has. Yes, his auto attacks are on hit magic damage that scale with both AD and AP.

The second and cooler part of his passive is that when Warwick is below 50% of his maximum HP, he heals for 100% of the damage dealt by the on hit auto attacks, which goes up to 250% when he is below 25% HP.

This means the lower health he is, and the more he auto attacks, the more healing he will get!

Q: Jaws of the Beast
 

Warwick dives at the selected target, dealing magic damage and maximum HP damage with a large bite, which also heals him for up to 75% of the damage dealt at rank 5, which also applies on hit effects and lifesteal too.

Warwick players can hold down the Q button to channel the bite and charge through the enemy to end up behind them. Whilst he is using his Q, he follows wherever the target goes, so if they dash, he follows them!

W: Blood Hunt
 

The passive part of Blood Hunt is that Warwick gains bonus attack speed when he attacks enemies who are below 50% HP, but be careful not to attack anything else, as if he changes targets, the attack speed goes. This can scale up to 110% bonus attack speed at level 5 of this ability.

Warwick also can sense enemy champions who are below 50% of their maximum HP, as long as this was dealt by an ally, which then marks them with a Blood Hunt trail leading to from Warwick to them.

This remains until the regenerate to above 50% HP, but during the time that the Blood Hunt is active, Warwick gains bonus movement speed along these trails, ramping up over 3.5s, up to a maximum of 55% bonus movement speed.

Both of these bonuses, attack speed and movement speed are ramped up to 250% against enemy champions that are below 20% of their maximum HP.

The active of Warwick’s W is that he marks the nearest enemy champion with a Blood Hunt for 8 seconds, gaining both passives for the duration.

E: Primal Howl
 

With Primal Howl, Warwick can reduce the damage he takes for 2.5 seconds, which can be recast after 1 second, or automatically after the 2.5 seconds have run out.

With the recast, Warwick fears all nearby enemies for 1 second, and he also slows them by 90% for the duration.

If Warwick uses his ultimate ability before recasting Primal Howl, the recast will automatically happen.

R: Infinite Duress
 

Warwick launches himself in the selected direction, ignoring crowd control, and he either stops when he reaches the maximum distance, or when he hits an enemy champion.

Upon hitting an enemy champion, he grounds them, and for up to 1.5s he suppresses them, which deals magic damage every 0.25s, up to a total of 525 at rank 3, plus 167% of his bonus AD.

Warwick also heals for all of the damage he does to the enemy champion during his ultimate, which also applies on hit effects and lifesteal.

When was Warwick released in League of Legends?
 

Warwick was released in Alpha Week 2 of League of Legends, so he’s been here since the very beginning! This was in 2009, but almost 8 years later, he received his rework.

Warwick was reworked in Patch 7.02, which was in pre-season of Season 7. The reworked Warwick was released to hunt down enemies on the Rift on January 25, 2017.

Where is Warwick from in League of Legends?
 

Warwick is from Zaun, and with the release of Arcane, we actually got a lot of backstory around him and who he was before becoming the wolf. Riot Games have recently announced that everything that happened in Arcane is canon with the League of Legends lore, so we know that all of this is correct!

Warwick’s Age in League of Legends
 

Warwick was born between 951 AN and 956 AN, which places him at around 41 years of age to 46 years of age.

This fits with the character that becomes Warwick in Arcane!
