Soul Fighter Gwen positioning
A starting board for Soul Fighter Gwen. Drag units to adjust it, switch to the anti-assassin layout when the lobby has divers, and copy the Team Planner code into the TFT client.
- Corner Samira on the back line and put Sett in front of it.
- Split Samira and Lux across the back line so a single area spell can't hit both.
- Braum, Gwen, and Volibear hold the front line — put the tankiest one opposite the enemy carry.
- Against assassins, step your carries up one row and leave Naafiri and Xin Zhao in the back corners as bait.

Drag a unit onto another hex to move it — dropping on a unit swaps them.
When to play Soul Fighter Gwen
Strengths
- Average place better than 81% of comps of the same board size
- Wins the lobby often (23.8% first places)
- Two damage threats (Gwen and Braum) make itemizing flexible
- Rarely played, so its units are usually free
Weaknesses
- Needs Gwen and Braum at high cost, which can be hard to hit

Strategic Tips
Economy
Stay on interest and save your big roll for level 9 at stage 5-1.
Itemization
Build Rabadon's Deathcap, Jeweled Gauntlet, and Void Staff on Gwen.
When to pivot
Scout at 2-1 and 3-2: if two or more players hold your core units, or you haven't found any by 3-2, move into one of the comps on the Similar Comps tab instead of forcing Soul Fighter Gwen.
