Who Wins

  • You lose pre-6 heavily due to Gnar's range advantage and consistent poke with Q and auto attacks.
  • Post-6 you gain kill pressure with R mobility, but Gnar can still kite you effectively and transform to Mega Gnar for disengage.

How to Trade

  • Use Q to interrupt Gnar's W proc and trade when he steps up for last hits, then immediately back off to avoid extended trades.
  • Your best windows are when Gnar is in mini form and has used Q, allowing you to R forward for a quick E-W-Q combo.

Wave Control

  • Focus on freezing the wave near your tower to force Gnar to overextend for farm, making him vulnerable to ganks.
  • Avoid pushing early as Gnar can easily poke you under his tower and control the wave with his range advantage.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't try to all-in when Gnar has high rage as he can transform mid-fight and turn the trade with Mega Gnar's CC and tankiness.
  • Avoid using R aggressively without vision as Gnar's mobility and kiting potential make it easy for him to set up ganks against you.
