Learn how to Gnar counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Engage Gnar immediately after he transforms back to Mini form — he can't generate Rage for 15 seconds, making him vulnerable to all-ins without the possibility of transforming.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Track Gnar's Rage bar (red bar under his health) and avoid fighting when it's nearly full — this prevents him from surprising you with a transformation mid-fight.
Basic Lane Phase Team Fight
Bait out Gnar's E (Hop) before engaging or requesting ganks — without his mobility spell, Mini Gnar has no escape options and becomes highly vulnerable.
Lane Phase
Position away from walls when fighting Mega Gnar — his R (GNAR!) can stun you against walls for 1.25-1.75 seconds and deal 50% increased damage.
Team Fight Skirmish
Be prepared to disengage when Gnar transforms into Mega form — his all-in potential and CC dramatically increase in this form.
Team Fight Skirmish
Engage in quick trades against Mini Gnar to prevent him from stacking his W passive — the third hit deals bonus % health damage and grants him movement speed.
Lane Phase
Save high-burst damage and summoner spells for when Gnar is in Mini form — Mega Gnar gains extra health that will allow him to survive your burst.
Skirmish Team Fight
Position behind minions when trading with Mini Gnar — his Q (Boomerang Throw) stops at the first target hit, reducing his harass potential.
Basic Lane Phase
Avoid fighting in tight spaces like jungle corridors and near objectives when Gnar is in Mega form — these areas help him land multi-target CC with his W and R.
