Playing as Gnar

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Poke and catch your boomerang

    As Mini Gnar, poke and kite with Boomerang Throw (Q): it slows, and catching it on the way back lowers its cooldown.

  2. Three hits on the same target

    As Mini Gnar, land three hits on the same target: Hyper (W) then adds damage based on their max health and gives you move speed.

  3. Engage at almost full Rage

    Engage when your Rage Gene (passive) bar is almost full: your next ability turns you into Mega Gnar, tankier and with new spells.

  4. Send them into a wall

    Cast GNAR! (R) to send enemies into a wall: those who hit it are stunned and take more damage, the others are only knocked back.

Playing against Ornn

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay away from walls and his pillar

    Don't stand near a wall or the Volcanic Rupture (Q) pillar: if he slams into it with Searing Charge (E), enemies around him take a knock-up.

  2. Get out of his breath

    Get out of Bellows Breath (W) before the final burst of flame: it makes you brittle, and his CC then lasts 30% longer on you.

  3. Keep him in combat in lane

    Hit him regularly in lane: while he's being attacked, he can't forge his items on the spot with Living Forge (passive).

  4. Dodge the redirected elemental

    When he recasts Call of the Forge God (R), get out of the elemental's line: redirected, it knocks the first champion it hits into the air, then the next ones.
