Gnar General information
Gnar tips and tricks
When against melee champions, use your range advantage to harass the enemy. Whenever they have 2 stacks on them, make sure you auto-attack or use your Q to proc your W.
Try to delay a team fight for as long as possible while you stack your Rage Bar. When it’s up, force a fight before you go back to Mini Gnar.
Before using your E aggressively, take a look at the mini-map to make sure the enemy Jungler is not nearby and ready to engage once you’ve overextended.
