@@muammarraihan9351 Viego Theme is the Viego Card Reveal. The one and the same. And yes, sister chords but played in reverse. Which, in the world of music, is a f*cking crazy thing to pull off. I tell you as an amateur, that aint no small achievement. It's what make Viego and Gwen's instrumental so majestic.
LORE CRASH COURSE: Gwen is actually a doll made by Viego's wife, Isolde, when she was still a little girl. As she got married, she left her childhood stuff in a chest which led Gwen (that somehow remembers things from when she was an inanimate object, but to be fair that wouldn't be the weirdest thing in League lore) to believe Viego took Isolde from her. After Viego's demise and the ruination that followed, Gwen was left alone until a thousand years later, in the present days when a piece of Isolde's soul found her way to the doll, making her a real girl who eventually stopped Viego along the Sentinels of light. On a sidenote, Gwen Ahri OTK is possible, and this absolutely terrifies me.
@@alitaher003 SoL is not a Fanfiction tho it's canon. That's why Nilah's story hinted that Viego will return in the future since the hallowed mist is getting weaker.
@@AppleBaron Ionia Shadow isles with Ahri sounds strong. Also Maokai could sneak in as a one of, since there are multiple ephemerals in Gwen's package, which will die.
@@ahmedtag3904 I've built a lot of decks, many tier 1. She looks ok. There's a lot of reasons she's not as strong as people are starting to think. You'll see she's not hard to play around, chump, kill, and outpace. She's also reliant on drawing her support cards, which all are not worth including in a deck because it's too slow or expensive (plus, one is ephemerals so goodbye board presence). You'll also realistically not draw more than 1 of her in a game ending by turn 5-6, like plenty tier 1 decks do. Great concept and amazing animations and art, but just another champ. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see how she'll not be too slow for this pro-aggro/fast-paced game.
I feel like the ephemeral hallowed spell is actually generally decent in SI. Cause they die, but if I read hallowed right, the "first attacker" doesn't have to BE Hallowed to get the buff. So in other words that gives you two chuds to throw away, and permanently gives your first attacker for the rest of the game +2 attack and there's nothing they can do about it...
I think she looks really great, especially because she doesn't have many dead-obvious synergies like some other champions. I feel like her built in Drain fixes the aggro archetype's main problem, and lets you go ham on attacks. I also love the thematic of her followers, theyre very cool
ditto on the synergy part hallow package wants hallows to die so as to strengthen future attacks gwen herself wants a "dancing partner" so as to gain value from hallow and leveling her and her leveled passive isn't strictly tied to hallow stacks, but her strength rather so the synergy can come from just about anywhere that wants combat, which is quite a lot. buff-stacking packages like taric akshan riven, ephemerals like kalista hecarim viego and maybe extra attack packages like azierlia or anything demacia has definitely one of the most well designed archetype of this set
@@FlutterSwagDaybreak could work as a Support archetype if their cards were actually good. It isn't a issue with the mechanic like Deep, Lurk or even Darkness.
A cool package for sure. Your nexus will be tough to take down with Gwen's scissors. Eternal Dancers is cool it's a more targeted Kalista that any SI deck can run however it doesn't replace her since her since they just have a big booty unlike Kali's damage pass. You did miss one card from the package: Conductor of the Mists - a 3 mana 4/2 with hallowed and last breath create a Ghastly Band in hand
Plus Noxus has things like might and thorned blade, which can either level her quickly or beef up her drain power. And yes since her drain is a skill it should be buffed by Tybaulk, but by that point you’ve probably won the game already
@@vhfulgencio yes, but tybaulk increases the damage an her drain skill by one, and since the skill is a series of several pings that drain for one increasing the damage by one doubles the total output which is very powerful. Edit: also, with the new noxus landmark, Gwen can attack twice in one turn which is also strong
Wonder how multiple kegs will work with it? It's all part of one skill right, not separate like Rex? So if you have 3 kegs it's 3 drain each snip? Also that PnZ card that boosts damage skills and spells exists.
Immediate synergy ideas: Gwen's Snip combined with Tybaulk Gwen's Snip combined with Barrels Gwen's Snip combined with leveled up Sejuani Gwen combined with Bard Gwen combined with Zed
The new "Thread the Needle" card is perfect to help Undying leaving Demacia! As I said in another comment, Shurima might be a nice new home with the Predicts to make it consistent Also Shurima do have Vulnerable, Desert Duel "slow Single Combat" and Rites - Negation and The Arcane - can be excelent cards to pair with; sure it lacks Rally, but I like the chance to get consistency with Undying!)
@@motogent250 they dont really do the same thing, crumble is still slow speed, and costs 2 more mana if you use tellstones, so yeah, I think you would definitely use needle over crumble in certain decks
The typical question to answer your question is "why not use both?". Crumble is a nice way to kill something big that surpassed the attack of the undying, whilst needlework is useful for its faster speed and lower cost. If you're going to predict for the undying anyways, you might as well stack even more cards to take advantage from them. Shurima's straightforward grant an enemy vulnerable options might also be an option as cards like rock hopper are pretty efficient in setting that up.
@rafael I run undying with bilge for the vulnerable keyword And use a 3 of crumble, plus 3 SI tellstones Perhaps cut some of those down to make room for needle CIDACAYGBAAQGBIIAEDAKJICAIDAKGQDAQCQGEA4AQAQKHRIFEYQCAIDAYEQEAICAYRQCAQFAQ

Gwen doesnt need to level to be deadly, her attack boosting property is their even when not on the feild, she just becomes a threat at high attacks if you dont have a blocker
I really want to see your take on Undying with the new cards. It's an archetype you've proven you're far better at handling than I ever was, and I'm learning a lot about it from watching you play.
Just wanted to say thanks. Your videos are badass I watch your videos religiously and decided to try ranked this week not only play the path of champions and I hit Plat my first week of playing ranked and definitely all thanks to your videos.
Scouts might be really good with hallowed since they can get bugged twice. Also want to try buffing Gwen up to insanely high attack to one snip enemy nexus.
Her power gain triggers when she attacks, so you have to make her a scout unit with field promotion wich is extremely awkward. I think rally works better for Gwen as shown on the trailer.
Post upload Mobalytics did update, and there are 2 more cards that weren't covered in the video. Conductor of the Mists, and another husk unit. Great content as always, keep up the great work!
In addition my first ideas of deck combinations w/ Gwen were Illaoi with massive hyperscaling tentacle, or Renekton w/ same lvl up condition and additional tools to enhance Gwen's interaction. If only they weren't both 4 cost units XD
I genuinely wonder when does harrowing go, I'm thinking of the synergies with the newly revealed Trifarian Training Pits for a reputation deck, since it feels like it'd help a lot in there. Or maybe bilgewater with the scouts and free attacks, although I feel that noxus can get more out of her but this is a really cool set of cards
You missed a card that was posted on the LoR instagram page, its a 3 mana 4/2 that has last breath: create a ghostly band in hand. Also a shadow isles husk that has fearsome.
So interesting thing to keep in mind, unlike lurk, this hallow keyword doesn’t require the first attacking unit to be a hallow unit. Which means, bard Gwen will be a thing.
As a Shyvana main, Gwen looks insanely fun to play. I haven't played LoR in a while but I think Gwen might single handedly restore my interest in the game. I can't wait to play her!
There was just one other card revealed on Mobalytics once these cards finally made it up there, but it's just the Shadow Isles Husk unit (Haunted Huske) which predictably enough grants Fearsome. No biggie. I just wonder what the Bandle City one is going to be?
Ravenbloom conservatory and Annie scares the hell outta me ngl. Gwen draining 1 per power essentially, and increasing her power.. add in the dancers, and boom, resurrect Tybaulk tons.
Very hyped for the next expansion, really happy with the direction the game is going as well, especially after what the designers did with the last patch. On a side note: that thumbnail tho xD had me dying when I noticed it
Gwen looks like she'll synergize with so many things. She could synergize with Kai'Sa a little. Get the Hallowed key word from a unit on Kai and she get's beefy from the hallowed key word every time she attacks. You get the added bonus of some combat tricks in shurima like shaped stone or sand trap, and instant removal from Shadow Isles with Vengeance. Heck if you have both Gwen and Kai leveled on the board when they attack they'd probably just eat the Nexus alive between their abilities. Lol put Gwen with Darius to make him hit for a lot of damage, if you can keep him alive. /s
Gwen/Hecarim With Grand Plaza, Hecarim is your overwhelm you want With the hallowed buff and He works pretty decently With Grand Plaza as well Also Gwen/Reputation to superbuff overwhelm units
Hallow, the Gwen drain, and Eternal Dancers synergize sooooo well with rally. Obviously Hallow will continue to happen each time you attack for the rest of the game but the actual buff to the attack only lasts until the end of the round. So attack once, get the hallow buff on your 1st unit and gwen and have eternal dancers pull up a unit > rally > attack again getting double hallow buff and having Eternal Dancers pull out a unit again. Not to mention you'd get the Gwen drain twice and the second one would be hugeeee
2 predictions, The 1 mana 2/1 hallowed is going to be the new strongest 1 drop. Hallowed doesn't need to be super invested into to pay off, it's super easy to splash and is likely going to be splashed for good units like Daybreak is. Gwen Tybaulk looks funny
At first I thought that you needed to be Hallowed to get the buff (like Lurk) but if you don't need it having the 1 drop is just free value for the whole game
Gwen is a doll made by viego's wife that Holds half of Ysolde's soul (Ysolde is Viego wife). The other half is inside Senna and Viego tried to get both halves together to revive Ysolde by bringin the ruination
Hey Mogwai! Great work casting today! I have a deck idea/challenge for ya. Lord Broadmane + Mega Inferno Boom deck. With Swain, Tybaulk and Lightning Rush why not.. Enjoy!
I'm so happy that units don't need Hallow in order to get the attack boost from other Hallow units. Also imagine Thread the Needle in Viego decks as some insane late game removal INCLUDING CHAMPIONS.
@@AppleBaron well, you can't decide witch opponent unit to remove, also you can use it on encroaching mists before lvling up viego or even when viego dies
A paramour is a lover of someone who is already married. Imagine french court and the king would have his queen, but he could also have a paramour on the side as his mistress.
Gwen is lore wise (and design wise) is made to be the polar opposite to Viego. She represents the childhood dreams and boldness his wife abandoned when she got married. Her hyper femininity and outlook on life is also to contrast with Viego’s sad dirty masculine control thing he has going on. Her powers in lore are also a reflection on that, since she controls the Hallowed Mist, which is the Uncorrupted Mist from the Shadow Isles from Pre-Viego era. It’s a healing mist that brings life and safety, and she controls due to having a part of Isolde that wasn’t corrupted. The Hallowed Mist is also the thing that allows Maokai and Yorick (another league champ) to resist the Black Mist. I really love Gwen and I’m so happy she is coming to LoR
I am kind of looking forward to and a bit scared of Gwen Noxus. Ruined Reckoner is an absolute MvP in a hallowed deck and goes infinite with the Dancers. Giving hallowed units overwhelm seems also really powerful and getting reputation online was never easier. Combine that with Survival Skills and you potentially have a very scary deck on your hands that can go infinite starting turn 6. edit: also yeah Eve will be a runeterra champion, I would be surprised if she wasnt, she literally roams around and tortures people. I hope she is some kind of nightfall-runeterra champ, that would be cool imo and somewhat fitting for her lorewise, maybe combine it with vulnerable (see: ahri charm).
I'm not really into these formulaic thumbnails with the "patented CZcams faces" and all, but JESUS that maniacal smile! What substances are you on and where can I find them?
I am thinking Gwen/Kindred would be good. The death effects to launch Kindred into controlling the board, plus the buffing from Hallowed to boost up Kindred as well as be the win con. Super excited to try it out

Hey @megamogwai using the letter "K" is way more consistent than using spacebar. And you can even use "J" and "L" to rewind and fast forward by 10 seconds. Spacebar sometimes doesn't work when you haven't clicked on the video player yet.
Hahahahahha yeaah that thumbnails is so funny, i alrd got a good laugh before i watch your video, then in the video when gwen using her scissors with your reaction, xdxdxd
Imagine attacking with eternal dancer pulling a kalista pulling an eternal dancer pulling another kalista pulling and eternal dancer and one more kalista. You will need to grant and everywhere buff to the dancer attack but it would be really funny. Edit: you might be able to make it work only with the +1 from grand plaza or something like that.
The T2 that boost Ephemeral work too. The only issue with that 'combo' is that you need Kalista to be level 2 and you need Kalista & Eternal Dancer to have died before. And while the payoff is still good, it isn't that good for this kind of setup. If it somewhat happen and you are able to pull off, it's great but you cannot make it your end goal as a Finisher for exemple. But yeah, Eternal Dancer will be used for all kind of combo outside of Gwen package expecially because she can revive Champion and don't seems to have a usage limit.
Hallow Ionia with Shadow Flare to Ephemeral a bunch of your Hallow units at once, give Zed the power buff, and if you're feeling saucy, Syncopation to swap your buffed attacker with another unit down the line, preferably an unblocked Hallow unit. ...Actually, maybe make it Gwen/Irelia. Your first Blade every Blade Dance benefits from Hallow, and then levelled Irelia can take the buff and swap to an unblocked lane all on her own...

She looks extremely flexible with a lot of funny combos! Cant wait to see what happens!
Clicked this video specifically because of your thumbnail, chefskiss incredible
Refreshes CZcams.
"Oh, the Mogwai reaction video. Lets see how-"
Sees the thumbnail.
Stops.
"He can't hurt me here...right?"
I genuinely wonder when does harrowing go, I'm thinking of the synergies with the newly revealed Trifarian Training Pits for a reputation deck, since it feels like it'd help a lot in there.
Or maybe bilgewater with the scouts and free attacks, although I feel that noxus can get more out of her
but this is a really cool set of cards
You see the Attack keyword, you go rally region that's it, plainly and a bit sadly, I think
noxus would also give you tybaulk to make her drain 2 :D
That thumbnail made me chuckle (not in a bad way). It's gold
Eternal dancers anivia sounds juicy. You can keep on adding anivia to your feild every time you attack
You missed a card that was posted on the LoR instagram page, its a 3 mana 4/2 that has last breath: create a ghostly band in hand. Also a shadow isles husk that has fearsome.
Anyone Just loves the Artstyle of this Set?
So interesting thing to keep in mind, unlike lurk, this hallow keyword doesn’t require the first attacking unit to be a hallow unit. Which means, bard Gwen will be a thing.
As a Shyvana main, Gwen looks insanely fun to play. I haven't played LoR in a while but I think Gwen might single handedly restore my interest in the game. I can't wait to play her!
There was just one other card revealed on Mobalytics once these cards finally made it up there, but it's just the Shadow Isles Husk unit (Haunted Huske) which predictably enough grants Fearsome. No biggie. I just wonder what the Bandle City one is going to be?
Ravenbloom conservatory and Annie scares the hell outta me ngl. Gwen draining 1 per power essentially, and increasing her power.. add in the dancers, and boom, resurrect Tybaulk tons.
Paramour: A lover or a mistress of a married person, often used in the sense of a secret lover.
Very hyped for the next expansion, really happy with the direction the game is going as well, especially after what the designers did with the last patch.
On a side note: that thumbnail tho xD had me dying when I noticed it
Gwen looks like she'll synergize with so many things. She could synergize with Kai'Sa a little. Get the Hallowed key word from a unit on Kai and she get's beefy from the hallowed key word every time she attacks. You get the added bonus of some combat tricks in shurima like shaped stone or sand trap, and instant removal from Shadow Isles with Vengeance. Heck if you have both Gwen and Kai leveled on the board when they attack they'd probably just eat the Nexus alive between their abilities.
Lol put Gwen with Darius to make him hit for a lot of damage, if you can keep him alive. /s
Gwen/Hecarim With Grand Plaza, Hecarim is your overwhelm you want With the hallowed buff and He works pretty decently With Grand Plaza as well
Also Gwen/Reputation to superbuff overwhelm units
Thread the needle. I had the same thought of using it with undying!!
Hallow, the Gwen drain, and Eternal Dancers synergize sooooo well with rally. Obviously Hallow will continue to happen each time you attack for the rest of the game but the actual buff to the attack only lasts until the end of the round. So attack once, get the hallow buff on your 1st unit and gwen and have eternal dancers pull up a unit > rally > attack again getting double hallow buff and having Eternal Dancers pull out a unit again. Not to mention you'd get the Gwen drain twice and the second one would be hugeeee
2 predictions,
The 1 mana 2/1 hallowed is going to be the new strongest 1 drop. Hallowed doesn't need to be super invested into to pay off, it's super easy to splash and is likely going to be splashed for good units like Daybreak is.
Gwen Tybaulk looks funny
At first I thought that you needed to be Hallowed to get the buff (like Lurk) but if you don't need it having the 1 drop is just free value for the whole game
@@MarioFRC32 The reveal shows Lucian getting the hallowed buff
I like your thumbnail man it is so intimating.🤣🤘
Gwen is a doll made by viego's wife that Holds half of Ysolde's soul (Ysolde is Viego wife). The other half is inside Senna and Viego tried to get both halves together to revive Ysolde by bringin the ruination
Now have sound!
this thumbnail 😂 you’re amazing mogwai
Hey Mogwai! Great work casting today! I have a deck idea/challenge for ya. Lord Broadmane + Mega Inferno Boom deck. With Swain, Tybaulk and Lightning Rush why not.. Enjoy!
The miniature is absolutely legendary, I hope we will get it again for the Gwen decks
That thumbnail's a nightmare fuel. Thanks!
Yeah, this expansion has been all over the damn place. The four people still working on LoR can't catch a break, haha.
But yeah, Gwen looks amazing.
Way more than 4, you wanna see a no dev game? Try hots.
10:58 i love how you react and one second later you say "not meta defining" to avoid giga gromp 2.0 :D
I'm so happy that units don't need Hallow in order to get the attack boost from other Hallow units. Also imagine Thread the Needle in Viego decks as some insane late game removal INCLUDING CHAMPIONS.
Why would Viego ever need a removal of champions, lol. He IS a removal of champions by himself.
@@AppleBaron well, you can't decide witch opponent unit to remove, also you can use it on encroaching mists before lvling up viego or even when viego dies
"And now the spacebar works😎"
*Presses the spacebar and things go wrong*
"Oh shit 😶"
Lmao
Tanktop Douche wielding scissors is very menacing. Thx mogwai
The thumbnail: Mom can we have Boogiewai
No we have one at home
Mogwai "K" also works to pause but ALWAYS works
A paramour is a lover of someone who is already married. Imagine french court and the king would have his queen, but he could also have a paramour on the side as his mistress.
Gwen is lore wise (and design wise) is made to be the polar opposite to Viego. She represents the childhood dreams and boldness his wife abandoned when she got married. Her hyper femininity and outlook on life is also to contrast with Viego’s sad dirty masculine control thing he has going on. Her powers in lore are also a reflection on that, since she controls the Hallowed Mist, which is the Uncorrupted Mist from the Shadow Isles from Pre-Viego era. It’s a healing mist that brings life and safety, and she controls due to having a part of Isolde that wasn’t corrupted. The Hallowed Mist is also the thing that allows Maokai and Yorick (another league champ) to resist the Black Mist. I really love Gwen and I’m so happy she is coming to LoR
Imagine how much Gwen can snowball with blade dance.
Love the idea but she only scales while attacking so i don't think it works that way.
She only grows with hallowed units, and even then the blades obliterate themselves, they don't die
I am kind of looking forward to and a bit scared of Gwen Noxus. Ruined Reckoner is an absolute MvP in a hallowed deck and goes infinite with the Dancers. Giving hallowed units overwhelm seems also really powerful and getting reputation online was never easier. Combine that with Survival Skills and you potentially have a very scary deck on your hands that can go infinite starting turn 6.
edit: also yeah Eve will be a runeterra champion, I would be surprised if she wasnt, she literally roams around and tortures people. I hope she is some kind of nightfall-runeterra champ, that would be cool imo and somewhat fitting for her lorewise, maybe combine it with vulnerable (see: ahri charm).
Came for the video, stayed for the thumbnail.
Gwen/Zed, setting it up so that Zed receives the hallowed pump when he attacks, which then transfers to both his clone AND Gwen herself, maybe?
Sing with me: Hallowed from the other side ...
1:59
Mogwai: "I thought she was part of the KDA group..."
Riot: WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN
Never really wanna jump on playing new champs immediately, but this Gwen package is intriguing
I'm not really into these formulaic thumbnails with the "patented CZcams faces" and all, but JESUS that maniacal smile!
What substances are you on and where can I find them?
I am thinking Gwen/Kindred would be good. The death effects to launch Kindred into controlling the board, plus the buffing from Hallowed to boost up Kindred as well as be the win con. Super excited to try it out
Gwen City UNDYINNNNG!!
So, we are at Tank Top Douche's next character arc. Scissors Psycho
A paramour is a lover usually in a mistress capacity to a married person.
Gwen cutting the nexus like a paper is so satisfying jeez💀
Uno de los campeones más espectaculares visualmente tanto en el lol como en lor, un saludo desde España.
(Pd: Evelin es un darking que son una serie de demonios de los cuales solo conocemos confirmados hasta ahora a aatrox, varus , eveling y kayn)
gwen's ability: *exists
leveled up lissandra: "i dont see a problem?"
Hey @megamogwai using the letter "K" is way more consistent than using spacebar. And you can even use "J" and "L" to rewind and fast forward by 10 seconds. Spacebar sometimes doesn't work when you haven't clicked on the video player yet.
Hahahahahha yeaah that thumbnails is so funny, i alrd got a good laugh before i watch your video, then in the video when gwen using her scissors with your reaction, xdxdxd
Imagine attacking with eternal dancer pulling a kalista pulling an eternal dancer pulling another kalista pulling and eternal dancer and one more kalista. You will need to grant and everywhere buff to the dancer attack but it would be really funny.
Edit: you might be able to make it work only with the +1 from grand plaza or something like that.
The T2 that boost Ephemeral work too. The only issue with that 'combo' is that you need Kalista to be level 2 and you need Kalista & Eternal Dancer to have died before. And while the payoff is still good, it isn't that good for this kind of setup. If it somewhat happen and you are able to pull off, it's great but you cannot make it your end goal as a Finisher for exemple. But yeah, Eternal Dancer will be used for all kind of combo outside of Gwen package expecially because she can revive Champion and don't seems to have a usage limit.
The thumbnail is *chef's kiss*
“Paramour” is not a French word per say, but it’s a mash of the two words par and amour, which means “by love”
This is definitely the champion I'm looking forward to play with the most...
Gwen Blade Dance! Let's get some deadly knives in here!
I feel like everyone got confused by that cursed keeper with us blocking first XD
I can already see that we get a plague of Elusive Decks with Hallowed maybe Zed and Gwen
That grand plaza + strike up the band idea is NASTY
S tier face in the thumbnail
And assuming the Husks are Evelyn's cards shes likely to be Runeterrra champion cos the Husks are all different regions
Hallow Ionia with Shadow Flare to Ephemeral a bunch of your Hallow units at once, give Zed the power buff, and if you're feeling saucy, Syncopation to swap your buffed attacker with another unit down the line, preferably an unblocked Hallow unit.
...Actually, maybe make it Gwen/Irelia. Your first Blade every Blade Dance benefits from Hallow, and then levelled Irelia can take the buff and swap to an unblocked lane all on her own...
Im gonna predict. Zed and gwen with elusive gonna be a thing just simply hollowed gonna buffed the hell out zed or any elusive on most left
