Guide
Gnar excels as a versatile tank/bruiser in ARAM, alternating between ranged poke in Mini form and disruptive CC in Mega form. Focus on building rage safely, then engage with Mega Gnar's crowd control to lock down enemies for your team.
Tips
Build tanky items like Heartsteel and Sunfire Aegis to survive and deal damage in ARAM's constant fights.
Use your E (Hop) to dodge skillshots and reposition quickly, especially when Mega Gnar is about to transform.
Save your W (Wallop) stun for key targets like enemy carries or divers to peel for your team.
Manage your Rage bar carefully-transform into Mega Gnar near bushes or when engaging to maximize CC and burst.
In ARAM, poke with Boomerang Throw (Q) in Mini Gnar form to harass and farm safely from range.
