How to play Gnar in Patch 26.19, built from ranked games: power spikes, the lane plan, how leads convert, and the habits that separate Gnar wins from losses.

Gnar Mid and Late Game

What Gnar does better or worse than other champions after laning, from this patch's ranked games — percentiles where 100 is the highest of every champion.

Play to these strengths

  • Side-lane pressure pays: Gnar rates 82/100 for damage to buildings. Push a side wave while the team holds mid.
  • Gnar brings crowd control (percentile 74): start the fight or follow up on a teammate's engage.
  • Gnar wins 17.8 points more in long games than short ones: avoid coin-flip fights early and let the game go long.

Playing Gnar

  • Managing your Rage is very important. Try to time out your transformations so you can get maximum benefit from both forms.
  • Position yourself next to walls to bait your enemies into getting stunned by your ultimate.
  • Know your strengths! Mini Gnar is fast, squishy, and has high sustained damage. Mega Gnar is slow, tough, and has high burst.

Playing Against Gnar

  • Gnar can't gain Rage for 15 seconds after he turns from big to little. Use this chance to engage on his team.
  • Gnar's animations and resource bar change as he gets closer to transforming.
  • Gnar's ultimate stuns if he hits you into a wall. Be careful when fighting him near one.
