Flex if they don’t get armor, the attack speed really helps your perk, however attack speed isn’t necessary for her.
Ofc crit doesn’t proc her perk lmao, her perk is cooldown based off AS. She can crit and hit with her perk at the same time however, hitting people for 900 would be impossible without crit on an actual build.
Also you don’t play Gwen for her abilities, you play her for her movement speed and poke, that’s why SSW is irrelevant to her imo.
Attack speed reduces cooldown on her perk, it’s 1.4 second reset, anything hat gets this reduced is going to be hugely beneficial.
