How to play it

Respect Mega form
Don't trade when his rage bar is full: in Mega form he runs you down in an extended trade.
All-in mini Gnar
At level 6, poke and all-in him while he's mini with low rage: he's extremely weak early.
Quick poke only
Max Q and only look for quick poke and harass: never commit to an extended trade regardless of his form.
Look for an extended trade: especially into Mega form, where he runs you down.
