Gnar vs Gwen

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use mini form's ranged poke to control lane and deny Gwen's scaling early trades.
Manage Rage carefully to transform into mega form for decisive engages near terrain.
Focus on lane control and preventing Gwen from safely stacking (Q) and reaching her item spikes.

Trading pattern

Harass Gwen in mini form using (Q) poke and kite with (E) to avoid her (Q) center damage.
Punish Gwen when her (W) is down by committing to trades and forcing cooldowns.
Use mega form crowd control near walls to interrupt (R) chase and extended fights.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Gwen has stacked (Q) and (W) available, as she can outlast trades.
Avoid fighting without (E) in mini form to prevent being caught by Gwen's chase.
Respect (R) slow and recast threat during extended fights, especially near her (W) zone.

Early game

Prioritize ranged poke with (Q) and (W) in mini form to pressure Gwen before she stacks (Q).
Avoid fighting without (E) available to escape Gwen's extended trades.
Time mega form transformation around wave crashes or when Gwen commits without (W).

Power spikes

At level 6, use mega form (R) near terrain to lock down Gwen and turn fights.
Control Rage before objectives to maximize mega form engage and durability.
Respect Gwen's level 6 (R) spike and avoid extended trades when her (Q) stacks and (W) are ready.

Win conditions

Deny (Q) stacks by controlling spacing and wave pressure early.
Time mega form engages to capitalize on (W) downtime and lack of disengage.
Use ranged poke and mega form CC to force Gwen out of lane or secure kills before she scales.
