What makes Gnar dangerous
Mini Gnar pokes and kites from range with his boomerang and hops around. When his Rage bar fills he transforms into Mega Gnar — a beefy melee bruiser whose ultimate throws your whole team into a wall, stunning them for a wombo-combo. The danger is his transformation timing.
How to play against Gnar
- 1Track his Rage bar — engage on Mini Gnar (squishy, no reliable CC) and avoid all-ins when he's about to become Mega Gnar.
- 2Respect Mega Gnar's ult near walls — it stuns everyone thrown into terrain. Don't group near walls when his Rage is full.
- 3Mini Gnar can't be caught easily (he hops), but he's squishy — hard CC or a gap-closer punishes him before he transforms.
- 4Mega Gnar has no gap-closer. Once he's melee, kite him and don't fight in tight spaces where his ult lands.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓Mini Gnar is squishy with no reliable CC.
- ✓Transformation timing is predictable via the Rage bar.
- ✓Mega Gnar has no gap-closer — kiteable.
- ✓His wombo ult needs walls and grouped enemies.

P
ぷんすこナーは戦闘中に「怒り」が溜まっていく。「怒り」が最大の状態でスキルを使用するとメガナーに変身し、ステータスとスキルが変化する。
Strong: the Rage bar transforms him into a beefy Mega Gnar with a wombo ult. Weak: track the bar — engage Mini form and avoid all-ins right before he transforms.
Q
ブーメラン/ぽいっナーが投げるブーメランは、命中した敵にダメージとスロウ効果を与える。戻ってきたブーメランをキャッチすると、クールダウンが短縮される。メガナーは、ブーメランのかわりに岩石を投げる。敵に命中するとその場に落下して、付近の敵すべてにダメージとスロウ効果を与える。落ちた岩石を拾うとクールダウンが短縮される。
W
ごきげん/こてんぱんナーが通常攻撃とスキルで相手にマークをつけるようになる。マークがたまった敵を攻撃するとナーは興奮し、追加ダメージを与えて移動速度が増加する。メガナーは興奮を通りこし、怒りが爆発する。片腕を目の前におもいきり振り下ろし、範囲内の敵ユニットにダメージを与えてスタン効果を付与する。
E
ぴょんぴょん/ドーン!ナーがジャンプする。ユニットの上に着地すると、頭の上をはねてさらに遠くまでジャンプする。メガナーは体が大きすぎて弾まない。そのかわり、着地するときに体をたたきつけて衝撃波をうみだし、周囲の敵にダメージを与える。着地地点にいる敵にはスロウ効果を与える。
R
ナー!メガナーが周りのモノを根こそぎ指定方向へ投げ、命中した敵にダメージとスロウ効果を与える。投げられた敵が壁にぶつかるとスタン状態になり、追加ダメージを受ける。
Strong: (Mega) throws your team into a wall for a group stun. Weak: it needs walls and grouped enemies — don't clump near terrain when his Rage is full.
Itemization
Gnar is a hybrid poke/tank. Armor helps vs his auto poke; the real key is timing — engage Mini form and respect Mega's ult near walls. Don't clump when his Rage is full.
