Let me help rewrite this guide in a more concise and valuable format that targets featured snippets.

Gnar is a unique top lane fighter who alternates between two forms: Mini-Gnar (mobile marksman) and Mega-Gnar (CC-heavy tank).

Core Abilities Priority

  • R > Q > W > E
  • Q: Primary for wave clear and poke
  • W: Adds damage output
  • E: Mobility and escape tool
  • Level 1: Choose Q for poke or E for safety

Form-Specific Abilities

Mini-Gnar:

  • Q: Ranged damage skillshot with slow
  • W: Three-hit passive for sustained DPS
  • E: Double jump with attack speed boost

Mega-Gnar:

  • Q: Heavy damage skillshot with slow
  • W: AoE burst damage with stun
  • E: AoE damage jump
  • R: Ultimate ability (exclusive to Mega form) - AoE damage and crowd control

Optimal Build Path

Starting Items:

  • Doran's Blade
  • Health Potion

Core Items:

  1. Early boots (Plated Steelcaps or Mercury Treads)
  2. Sheen item
  3. Bruiser items (early-mid game)
  4. Tank items (late game)

Key Strategy The optimal build balances between Mini-Gnar's mobile ranged attacks and Mega-Gnar's CC capabilities. Focus on early boots for better kiting and chasing potential, then transition into a bruiser-tank hybrid build for team fight effectiveness.
