• Max W and build attack-speed items and augments.⁵
• Reverberation fits Gnar well, but a full attack-speed build can leave him without the AD for a bruiser build, the resistances for a tank build, or enough attack opportunities as Mega Gnar in an on-hit build.⁶
• An AP on-hit build with Ethereal Weapon can deal high damage by triggering Gnar's W passive.⁷
• Reverberation and Mystic Punch are the only required augments for this build; other choices are open.⁸

• Some items still treat Gnar as ranged.⁹
• On-hit Gnar works well with most autocast augments.¹⁰
• Fan the Hammer triggers Gnar's passive twice instantly.¹¹

In Mini Gnar, Gnar can keep auto-attacking for a few seconds with a full Rage bar as long as he does not cast a spell. In Mega Gnar, he can stun, use his ultimate, and keep attacking with high attack speed.¹²

• Center of the Universe stars damage enemies while Gnar is in the death realm.¹³

Earlier formats

• Since patch 14.18, Gnar is always considered a melee champion.¹⁶¹⁷ 8x2 duos
• AP Gnar benefits from high AP through Mega Gnar's ultimate and Mini Gnar's W; Mini Gnar's W deals maximum-health damage that scales with AP on every third hit.¹⁸¹⁹ 8x2 duos
• An AP on-hit build with Ethereal Weapon dealt high damage, and one auto-attack double-stacked Gnar's W.²⁰ 8x2 duos
• One basic attack with Fan the Hammer and the five-bolt Prismatic Anvil applied two full-damage W hits immediately, while the W stacks dealt less damage.²¹ 8x2 duos
• Fan the Hammer, Shadowflame, and Statikk Shiv were enough for the AP build; the rest of the build used anvils and potions.²² 8x2 duos
• Perplexity could be active against everyone because Mini Gnar had the lowest base health in the game.²³ 8x2 duos
• Taking the omnivamp shard while transformed into melee could grant Gnar 25% vamp; the bonus remained after he transformed back.²⁴²⁵ 8x2 duos
