Innate: Warwick deals 12 − 46 (based on level) (+ 15% bonus AD) (+ 10% AP) bonus magic damage on-hit.

Jaws of the Beast

Jaws of the Beast
TARGET RANGE:	350
RANGE:	Global
CAST TIME:	none
COST:	50 / 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 Mana
COOLDOWN:	6

Active: Warwick lunges at the target enemy, biting them after 0.264 seconds to deal them 120% AD (100% AP) magic damage and bonus magic damage equal to a percentage of the target's maximum health. The bonus damage is capped against monsters. Warwick heals for a portion of the post-mitigation damage dealt by the ability.

Bonus Magic Damage: 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10% of target's maximum health Capped Bonus Damage: 100 / 125 / 150 / 175 / 200 Healing Percentage: 30 / 45 / 60 / 75 / 90%

Jaws of the Beast applies on-hit and on-attack effects, and  life steal at 100% effectiveness.

Hold: Jaws of the Beast can be held where Warwick performs the bite as usual and then begins to charge, during which he leaps behind the target and sticks to them, following their position anywhere on the map. The charge lasts for 0.5 seconds, but extended if the target is under the effect of a dash or a displacement.

Warwick is immune to displacements during Jaws of the Beast's animation. Additionally, if the target dies prior to him reaching them, the  cooldown is refunded, unless the ability was held.

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 the cast started beforehand, both the damage and the heal occur even after Warwick's death, or during resurrection.
• It has been special cased so Warwick does not follow an enemy's Recall or a Sion that revives from Glory in Death, unless they're first bitten (they're not followed if they recall before Warwick reaches them).
• 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.
• 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.
• The following table refers for interactions while Warwick is channeling:

Type		Charge channel
Attacking		Disabled
Abilities		Primal Howl is usable. Blood Hunt and Infinite Duress are disabled.
Movement		Disabled
Items	Usable	Shurelya's Battlesong Turbo Chemtank Youmuu's Ghostblade Gargoyle Stoneplate Randuin's Omen

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)

Edit

Blood Hunt

Blood Hunt
RANGE:	Global
EFFECT RADIUS:	4000
CAST TIME:	0.5
COST:	70 Mana
COOLDOWN:	120 / 105 / 90 / 75 / 60

Passive: Warwick senses all enemies on the map who are damaged below  50% of their maximum health, marking them with Blood Hunt and gaining bonuses against them. The bonuses are increased to 250% against enemies below  20% of their maximum health.

Upon basic attacking a marked target, Warwick gains  bonus attack speed against them but will lose it when switching to a target that is not Blood Hunted.

Bonus Attack Speed: 70 / 80 / 90 / 100 / 110% Increased Attack Speed: 175 / 200 / 225 / 250 / 275%

If the target is a champion, Warwick will see trails leading toward the Blood Hunted target, gaining  bonus movement speed while following the path, however, this bonus is lost for 0.5 seconds upon entering combat with an enemy champion but will build up again over the next 3.5 seconds.

Bonus Movement Speed: 35 / 40 / 45 / 50 / 55% Increased Movement Speed: 87.5 / 100 / 112.5 / 125 / 137.5%

Active: Warwick senses all nearby enemies within a large radius and marks the nearest enemy champion with Blood Hunt for 8 seconds, regardless of their  current health.

This ability cannot be cast for 3 seconds after entering combat with an enemy champion. Additionally, while no enemies are currently being Blood Hunted, the current  cooldown of Blood Hunt is reduced by 1 each second.

• Correction: The in-game description incorrectly states that the bonuses are tripled (300%) against enemies below  20% of their maximum health.
  • Eternal Hunger's had a similar issue which was eventually fixed when it was rewritten, but Blood Hunt did not.
• Blood Hunt can detect and target decoys.
• 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).
• Blood Hunt will occur from wherever Warwick was at the start of the cast time.

Edit

Primal Howl

Primal Howl
EFFECT RADIUS:	375
CAST TIME:	none
COST:	40 Mana
COOLDOWN:	15 / 14 / 13 / 12 / 11

Active: Warwick gains damage reduction for up to 2.5 seconds. Primal Howl can be recast after 1 second, and does so automatically after its duration.

Damage Reduction: 35 / 40 / 45 / 50 / 55%

Recast: Warwick howls, ending Primal Howl's effects and causing all nearby enemies to flee from him for 1 second, during which they are slowed by 90%.

Starting Infinite Duress' channel while Primal Howl is active will initiate the recast without ending the damage reduction buff prematurely.

• 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.

Edit

Infinite Duress

Infinite Duress
RANGE:	250% movement speed
COLLISION RADIUS:	150
CAST TIME:	0.1
COST:	100 Mana
COOLDOWN:	110 / 90 / 70

Active: Warwick leaps in the target direction, during which he is immune to crowd control.

If Warwick collides with an enemy champion, he stops and knocks them down and channels for up to 1.5 seconds, suppressing them, revealing them, and dealing them magic damage every 0.25 seconds, revealing himself in the process.

Total Magic Damage: 175 / 350 / 525 (+ 167% bonus AD)

Warwick is healed for 100% of all post-mitigation damage he deals to the target during Infinite Duress.

Infinite Duress applies on-hit and on-attack effects 3 times, and  life steal at 100% effectiveness.

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• The following table refers for interactions while Warwick is channeling:
