Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 through superior base stats and Q auto-reset trades, but Gnar can kite effectively if he maintains distance.
- At level 6, you have kill pressure with R if you can land W stun, but Gnar's R in Mega form provides strong counter-engage potential.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves using Q for the movement speed to gap close, then landing W for the true damage center while Gnar is in mini form.
- You want to save E to either pull Gnar back when he tries to disengage or to set up your W stun for maximum damage.
Wave Control
- You should focus on slow pushing waves to build minion advantages for all-ins, as you need extended trades to utilize your passive healing.
- Avoid hard shoving unless you can immediately recall, since Gnar can freeze and deny you farm while poking you down.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never chase Gnar through his minion wave early game without a significant health advantage, as his Q bounce damage and kiting potential will chunk you heavily.
- Don't waste your E cooldown on failed gap closes, as it's your only reliable engage tool against his mobility.
