Who Wins
- You lose levels 1-3 due to Gnar's range advantage and your limited gap-closing options early.
- At level 6, you gain significant kill pressure with R, especially if you can isolate Gnar when his E is down or he's in Mega form.
How to Trade
- Your trading pattern revolves around landing E to guarantee Q damage, then using W shield to absorb Gnar's retaliation while walking away.
- Look for opportunities when Gnar is farming or transforming to Mega form, as these moments reduce his mobility options.
Wave Control
- Focus on farming safely and looking for short trades when Gnar overextends for CS or poke.
- Push waves quickly with Q when possible to create recall timings and prevent Gnar from establishing a freeze against you.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E on minions or use it predictably, as missing your primary engage tool leaves you completely vulnerable to Gnar's poke.
- Avoid chasing Gnar in Mini form without landing E first, as he will simply kite you with Q slows and E mobility.
