Gnar lore ▾

Gnar est un yordle primitif dont les manières joyeuses peuvent soudain faire place à une colère irrationnelle. Il se transforme alors en une bête colossale portée à la destruction. Gelé dans de la glace pure pendant des millénaires, la curieuse créature s'est libérée de sa prison. Aujourd'hui, il parcourt avec enthousiasme un monde qu'il trouve exotique et merveilleux. Enchanté par le danger, Gnar lance à ses ennemis tout ce qu'il trouve, qu'il s'agisse de son boomerang en croc ou d'un bâtiment proche.

Gnar Top Guide | Patch 26.17

Gnar dominates top lane with explosive burst damage and crowd control. His win rate sits at 48.8% in Patch 16.3, making him a high-risk, high-reward pick for ranked climbers.

How to play Gnar?

Gnar thrives in chaotic skirmishes where his Mini and Mega forms can be fluidly switched. Early game relies on poking with bounce stones and avoiding trades unless you have a clear advantage. In mid-game, look for picks with your ultimate to disrupt enemy rotations. Late-game, Gnar excels in teamfights as a frontline disruptor, using his crowd control to peel or engage depending on the situation. Positioning is key—stay at the edge of fights to maximize your knock-up and bounce potential.

💡 Tips for Gnar

1.Use your bounce stones to harass enemies in Mini form and chunk them down before switching to Mega. Save your E for mobility or chasing in Mega form.
2.In Mega form, your ultimate is a game-changer—aim it to land on multiple enemies or to peel for your carries by knocking them away from threats.
3.Avoid extended trades in Mini form unless you have a significant health advantage. Your Mega form is where you deal most of your damage.
4.Synergize your crowd control with your team’s engage tools. A well-timed ultimate can turn the tide of a teamfight.
5.Build defensive items like Thornmail or Spirit Visage if the enemy team has heavy poke or burst damage to stay alive longer in fights.
