His R makes him immune to CC, so a Mega Gnar all-in isn't possible while it's up.

Dodge his axes: land one and the slow makes it extremely easy for him to hit more.

How to play it

✓

Dodge his axes

land one and the slow makes it extremely easy for him to hit more.

✓

Trade on misses

Look for trades when he misses his axes: that's your real window.

✓

Don't chase him low

The lower his health, the more attack speed and healing he gets: be very careful fighting him when he's low.

Never keep fighting him as he drops low: his attack speed and healing spike the lower his health gets.
