Gnar vs Fiora

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Control the lane by using mini form range to poke and kite Fiora, denying her easy vital access.
Manage Rage carefully to convert into mega form crowd control and durable engage near terrain.
This is a control vs scale matchup where Gnar must pressure Fiora early to prevent her from winning isolated duels later.

Trading pattern

Trade in mini form by poking with (Q) and (W) while kiting to avoid (Q) vital procs.
Punish Fiora immediately after she uses (W) to parry your crowd control, as her defensive window is down.
Commit to all-ins only when Rage is near full to transform and lock her down with mega (W) stun and (R) wall CC.

Danger windows

Be cautious when your (E) is on cooldown in mini form, as Fiora can engage with (Q) and proc vitals.
Avoid fighting when mega form expires, as you lose hard CC and durability, making you vulnerable to Fiora's all-ins.
Respect (W) parry cooldown; engaging while it is up risks being stunned and punished heavily.

Early game

Use mini form (Q) and (W) to chip Fiora safely while keeping (E) ready to escape her engage.
Avoid fighting Fiora when your (E) is down, as she can punish your immobility.
Time your Rage buildup to reach mega form before level 6 for stronger trades and objective fights.

Power spikes

At level 6, use mega form (R) near terrain to stun Fiora and turn fights in your favor; manage Rage to enter fights with mega form ready.
Fiora spikes at level 6 with (R) for extended duels; respect this by disengaging or kiting before she can proc multiple vitals.
Both champions spike with their first major item; use your mega form durability to survive Fiora's dueling power and look for teamfights.

Win conditions

Use mini form to poke and kite Fiora, denying her vital access and forcing her to play reactively.
Time mega form to initiate fights near walls, maximizing your (R) stun and (W) crowd control to lock down Fiora.
Control the wave and lane state to prevent isolated duels where Fiora excels, forcing her into unfavorable teamfights or disengages.
