Top
Warwick top is built for the moment when both bars look bad, so let the opponent spend burst first and use held Q to ride dash, Flash, or knockback while passive and W thresholds turn the rest of the trade in your favor
A lot of Warwick lane skill is just not wasting mana on fake control: give up the occasional minion, keep enough lane length to keep chasing, and save your resources for the overstep that actually lets you stay attached, which recent data supports by showing he recovers from modest early deficits better than several similar top bruisers
Good Warwick games keep top lane feeling unfinished—your early lead is strongest while enemies still have to walk back into you on side of map, and if the game slows down from a bad start you still matter most by punishing dives and cleaning up low-health fights rather than trying to be a tidy front-line engage
Use R once the fight already has a direction. In lane, that usually means they have burned dash, Flash, or the spell that would break contact, so the ult pins them instead of starting a coinflip. In side lane, it is strongest when they are already retreating through a long lane and cannot easily cut the distance. In teamfights, wait for the target that has already stepped past peel or spent mobility; ulting too early usually hands the enemy an easy CC chain. If you are unsure, treat R as a punish button or a lock to finish the chase, not your opening sentence.
Warwick's basic attacks deal bonus magic damage. If Warwick is below 50% health, he heals the same amount. If Warwick is below 25% health, this healing triples.
Warwick lunges forward and bites his target, dealing damage based on their maximum health and healing for damage dealt.
Warwick senses enemies below 50% health, gaining Move Speed toward and attack speed against them. When they fall below 25% health, he frenzies and these bonuses triple.

Warwick leaps in a direction (scaling with his bonus Move Speed), suppressing the first champion he collides with for 1.5 seconds.
