Warwick is a blood hunter with extremely high survivability. As any werewolf, he is bloodthirsty, and there is no better blood source on Summoner's Rift than enemies. Dealing damage restores his own health, which makes him a challenging opponent. Regardless of simple mechanics, he is a really effective champion. All his abilities require mana, so you always need to keep an eye on mana bar. When he smells blood (E) Warwick goes berserk, which makes him speed up whenever there is a wounded enemy nearby. Because of this it is very difficult to run from the werewolf. With Hungering Strike (Q) Warwick deals high magical damage, which restores his own health. This increases his survivability and enables to stay on a lane longer than his enemies. Hunter's Call (W) significantly improves the champion's attack speed. Warwick's last ability is Infinite Duress (R). This enables him to instantly jump toward an enemy, knock him over, and rip into pieces, healing himself at the same time. Gold is best spent on items which grant healing and mana bonuses, as well as improve magic damage and various types of resistance.
Strategy:
In early game it is best to farm with auto attack, and, when needed, assault an enemy with Q to restore some health or simply deal damage. Note that the ability consumes mana, so it should be used with moderation.
