Builds by level

Every combination of Warwick's own traits that a comp of the chosen level can reach, ranked by the DPS of its best 3-item build against three dummies with the team's shred, sunder and burn already on them. Numbers open the DPS Calculator with the same inputs. Levels 4 to 7 only use champions you can find at that level: up to 2-costs at level 4, 3-costs at levels 5 and 6, 4-costs at level 7.

  • cast window (mana locked)
  • effect

First cast at 4.53 s with 0.75 attacks per second. Items, traits and damage taken change the mana pace; the cast, effect and channel windows do not.

Step by step, in words
  1. Mana reaches 40/40: the cast starts and the mana lock goes on (no mana from attacks, ticks or damage taken).
  2. 0.00 to 1.00 s: cast window. The unit plays its cast animation and its return to idle; it cannot auto attack.
  3. 0.43 s: the ability's effect fires (projectile launch, damage, shield...).
  4. 1.00 s: unlock. Mana starts again (overflow kept) and a fresh attack starts from zero; it lands at 1.29 s at base attack speed (the attack delay is 22% of the attack animation).
  5. Attack loop: the attack lands at 22% of the attack animation (mana granted) and unlocks at 40%; a cast that becomes possible at the landing starts at that unlock point, cutting the rest of the attack.
  6. Mana gain: 10 per attack; combat starts at 0/40.
  7. Overflow is banked: mana past 40 from attacks or regen is kept through the cast (38/40 plus 10 casts and comes back with 8). Same rule for every champion; only the amounts differ by role.

// Itemized Roles

Melee AD SupportSituationalLast WhisperRed BuffSterak's Gage

2-cost melee AD Fighter (game role tag, range 1). Melee damage dealers take the melee support set: team debuffs plus a survival item. Mana lock 1.00 s per cast against a 5.6 s fill (15% locked). Casts per minute at base speed 9.1; with Spear of Shojin 13.2, Blue Buff 13.7, a +45% attack speed item 12.3. Blue Buff and Spear of Shojin are within 4% of each other, so either keeps the loop rolling; the default mana-per-attack set stays. One Sunder item and one Burn item for the team, plus the survival item that keeps this melee unit alive longest while dealing the most calculated damage for Warwick (249 DPS at 2 stars against three 2-star tanks). Burn item Red Buff: its attacks benefit from the attack speed.

Melee AP SupportSituationalIonic SparkRed BuffHand of Justice

2-cost melee AD Fighter (game role tag, range 1). It can hold the team Shred and Burn items plus a survival item for an AP comp; its own AD damage does not profit from the debuff. Mana lock 1.00 s per cast against a 5.6 s fill (15% locked). Casts per minute at base speed 9.1; with Spear of Shojin 13.2, Blue Buff 13.7, a +45% attack speed item 12.3. Blue Buff and Spear of Shojin are within 4% of each other, so either keeps the loop rolling; the default mana-per-attack set stays. One Shred item and one Burn item for the team, plus the survival item that keeps this melee unit alive longest while dealing the most calculated damage for Warwick (264 DPS at 2 stars against three 2-star tanks). Burn item Red Buff: its attacks benefit from the attack speed.
