  2. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!

Tips and Tricks

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