    Gnar Counter Build Advice

    When facing Gnar's top counters like Kennen, Fiora, Riven, consider adjusting your situational items to increase survivability and match their damage output. If counter champions are building high damage, prioritize magic resistance items against AP threats in your situational item slots to reduce burst damage and improve trading potential. Focus on completing your core damage items before heavily investing in defensive situational items, as Gnar needs sufficient damage to remain a threat in counter matchups. Adapt your final build slots with items like Wit's End or Thornmail based on which counter champions you're facing and their itemization patterns. Monitor enemy builds and adjust accordingly for optimal Gnar performance.
