How it works

General

  1. You rush Iceborn Gauntlet.
  2. You play as Tank, but with focus on kitting the enemy team and utility for your team.
  3. You disrupt fights with CC, soak damage, peel off your carries or initiate for your team.

How to play

General

  1. You rush Iceborn Gauntlet #1, then you need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
  2. You can rush Imperial Mandate #2 if you can afford it, this makes this build more fun. However, if you are behind, it is okay to just skip it.
  3. There's great synergy between Iceborn Gauntlet + Imperial Mandate + Font of Life. You create frozen pools that will persist for a few seconds, slowing enemies, applying Imperial Mandate debuff + Font of Life heal mark for your allies.
  4. For more utility oriented build, you can get Locket of the Iron Solari (sustain) or Shurelya's Battlesong (engages).
  5. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. When you are transformed into Mega Gnar you become melee, which means some runes and items will give you an effect as if you were melee champion. For example: Grasp of the Undying - more heal, more Health, more dmg. Hubris - more ad. First Strike - more gold.

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.
