Warwick
Warwick is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities
- The enhanced attack will apply other on-hit effects and can critically strike as normal (the bonus damage cannot).
- Eternal Hunger does not affect structures.
Details
- Jaws of the Beast deals basic damage, but also triggers spell effects by dealing an additional 0 spell damage.
- As mentioned, Jaws of the Beast's heal is calculated only from its own damage dealt. Additional damage effects, such as on-hits, are not.
- If casted beforehand, both the damage and the heal occurs even after Warwick's death, or during resurrection.
- It has been special cased so Warwick will specifically not follow an enemy's Recall, or Sion when reviving from Glory in Death (before dealing damage).
- Jaws of the Beast's channel cannot be initiated while grounded or rooted. Warwick can only use the normal cast.
- The channel will not be interrupted by either of the two effects, despite the lock-on being a movement channel.
- The bite always occurs after the same delay, however the time spent lunging does not, which depends based on the range Jaw of the Beast was cast away from the target, up to a lunge duration of 0.5 seconds.
- The lunge duration does not affect the lockout timer on, which is the same as the bite's delay.
- Warwick's lunge always places him to his attack range to the center of his target.
- The lunge duration does not affect the
- Warwick's dash will place him up to the edge of his attack range from the target.
Interactions & Other
- In order to hit the cap, the target monster needs to have at least 1667 / 1786 / 1875 / 1945 / 2000 health.
- Jaws of the Beast is the only ability in the game that combines channeling with displacement immunity. Every interrupting crowd control effect that is not resisted by the displacement immunity will prematurely stop the dash.
- The bite can still occur if cast before the crowd control application, but Warwick cannot start channeling.
- Abilities that apply both stun and airborne at the same time cause Warwick to ignore the displacement, but prematurely stop the channel and the dash.
- The only exception to this is Sion's Glory in Death.
- Warwick will follow enemies that move via attachment effects but the lock-on will not be extended.
- While Jaws of the Beast does not use Quick Casting by default, click-and-hold is comparable to the input required to use Bone Skewer or Comet Spear. It does not accept two-click input (e.g. First Cast and Recast) that abilities like Piercing Arrow or Decimating Smash use in Standard Casting.
- Warwick will attempt to basic attack the target after a short delay.

Known Issues
- Jaws of the Beast will also refund its cooldown if it kills the target after being held for exactly its bite delay. (note)
- The ability can be shortly cast on a dead target, with the ability going on cooldown.(note)
- Enemies who are Blood Hunted will display marks above their heads while hearing ominous music until they are no longer Blood Hunted, with a small delay.
- Blood Hunt can detect and target decoys.
- The blood trail, although described as a trail, does not indicate where the target has been - only the quickest route to their current location, and it will update as Warwick and/or the target move.
- Warwick will lose his movement speed bonus if enemies that are not Blood Hunted stay exactly between him and the Blood Hunted target.
- The same applies to enemy champions that went under the threshold by taking Nexus Obelisk damage or to units that spawn with their current health below the threshold (i.e Hallucinate, Mirror Image).
- The same applies to enemy champions that went under the threshold by taking Nexus Obelisk damage or to units that spawn with their current health below the threshold (i.e
- The detection from Blood Hunt is similar to the effects of obscured vision rather than a form of sight - it grants positional information only. It does not explicitly inform Warwick about who is low health or if they are alone.
- The official ability descriptions says the bonuses are tripled, however the actual multiplier is 2.5. (note)
- Blood Hunt will occur from wherever Warwick was at the start of the cast time.
- The initial cast and the manual recast count as ability activations for the purposes of on-cast effects such as Spellblade and stacking Force Pulse.
- If the ability is not manually recasted, the secondary effect will trigger without being considered as an ability activation.
- The recast's howling animation has a 0.5-second lockout time.
- This will also cancel Warwick's basic attack.
- Warwick cannot attack or cast abilities during the animation, instead the last input will be buffered to play after it ends.
- Warwick will automatically recast if he enters resurrection.
- Infinite Duress deals basic damage, but also triggers spell effects by dealing an additional 0 spell damage.
- The minimum range of the ability is 275 units, based on the minimum movement speed that a champion can have (110) while still being able to move. The "base" range of this ability is 837.5 because of his 335 base movement speed.
- Considering movement speed soft caps, with Blood Hunt, this range increases to 1112 / 1145.5 / 1179 / 1203.125 / 1224.0625, further increased to 1360.15625 / 1412.5 / 1464.84375 / 1517.1875 / 1569.53125 against enemy champions below 20% health.
- Considering movement speed soft caps, with
- The ability deals a total of 9 damage instances that are done in cycles of 3 hits every 0.5 seconds, each divided in two instances. The first instance deals 2 hits and triggers the on-hit and on-attack effects once, while the second instance deals the remaining last hit.
- If Warwick does not collide with a champion, he will slide a fixed distance past the maximum range during which he is no longer crowd control immune and unable to declare basic attacks or cast movement abilities, including Flash, but being able to cast Jaws of the Beast and Blood Hunt, with the former also interrupting the slide.
- Warwick is able to cast Primal Howl at any time during the dash.
- Warwick is able to cast
- The dash will be interrupted instantly if an enemy champion blinks in close proximity of Warwick.(note)
- Activating Stopwatch / Zhonya's Hourglass during the dash interrupts it.
- Each hit counts as a separate hit for effects such as Electrocute and Eclipse's Ever Rising Moon.
- Warwick gains the cc-immunity at the start of the cast time.
- Cleansing the suppression does not interrupt the channel and Warwick will continue to strike but not deal any damage.
- Infinite Duress is special cased to have its channel interrupted by Fate's Call.
- Infinite Duress is special cased to have its channel interrupted by
- If the target is crowd control immune or protected by spell shield upon collision, Warwick will not start the channel.
- If the target is in a zombie state, Warwick will stop the channel after ~0.5 seconds of hitting them.
- Infinite Duress covers Warwick's hitbox, meaning he will collide with enemy champions that are particularly close to him.
