How to play it

✓ DO

Fear Mega Gnar

You have almost no counterplay to his ultimate — don't get poked out or caught out while he's mega.

Kill him mini

Mini Gnar past 6 is killable — hunt him near your tower and ghost when he has no wave to double-jump back to.

Trade only mini

Trade only against mini form with W→Q→E so he can't trade back, and give him priority at level 1.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Fight Mega Gnar unless he is very far behind — it simply isn't worth it.
