Guide: Warwick with Corrupt Vampiric Scepter or Rapid Firecannon

OverlayUpdated Sep 17, 24

I> General info:

This comp rolls gold above 50 to look for 3-star 1 cost champion at level 5
This comp uses a full Frost team with Warwick and Olaf as your main carries and the 6 Vanguards trait as the ultimate support!
This comp is build around Warwick with the Artifact items "Corrupt Vampiric Scepter" or "Rapid Firecannon" which turns him into an absolute carry monster!
ONLY if you get "Corrupt Vampiric Scepter" through Augments/Portals
If you see Frost Augments
Region Portal: Artifact Anvil or Augment at stage 1-4: Portable forge
If you are getting lots of Warwick copies early
Best played with Vampiric Scepter. Position Warwick in top corners on weak side of enemy frontlines. Twitch Sunders with his ability so anti-armor items are lower priority but still good late-game
Augment priority: ITEMS > COMBAT > Econ.

IV> Early game plan:

This comp uses a Vanguard or Shapeshifter frontline with a Hunter backline with Warwick as your carry who you want to 3 star
Ensure that you have Cursed Vampiric Scepter otherwise, it will be hard to streak Stage 2. Play around early Frost and Hunter units and position Warwick on weakside of enemy boards, so he can start farming his Attack Speed + Movement Speed stacks
Play around Vanguard or Shapeshifter/ Hunter
Go on a lose/win streak
Don't level up!
Slowroll for Warwick at level 5
Slam carry items (Warwick)
Warwick needs to land the actual kill to scale so positiong accordingly. Collect Warwicks, Blitzcrank and Twitch while focusing on Econ.

Team Level 4:

Frost

Vanguard

Blitzcrank

Warwick

Twitch

Team Level 5:

V> Mid game plan:

On Stage 3-1, reroll for Blitzcrank and Warwick. Roll to around 32 gold and then slowroll past 3-2 with 50+ gold. Look to upgrade supporting units to 2* as well. Both Guinsoos and Quicksilver are extremely important on Warwick to avoid CC and scale through mid game fights
Hyper roll on 3-1 for Warwick, Blitz, and Twitch 3. Econ back up. Start building utility / frontline items
Finish carry items for Warwick (Corrupt Vampiric Scepter + Rageblade + Quicksilver)
Slowroll for Warwick 3 star at level 5
Level up to 6 AFTER hitting Warwick 3 star.

VI> Late game plan:

Position Warwick on the side where the enemy frontline has no items
Push levels for more Vanguards. Build items for Olaf. Add Arcana Xerath in late game for max cap
In the late game, you want to activate 6 Vanguards as soon as possible so Warwick can receive the Durability buff that 6 Vanguards provide. Your win condition will either be Olaf 2* or Xerath 2* (if you have excess AP items). Make sure to roll for Charms at every stage past 5-1.
