Arrr, kit reference
Trick names, descriptions and numeric fields come from Riot Data Dragon. Practical reads be independently written; th' present in-battle tooltip remains authoritative.
Arrr, what it doesEnglishWhile in combat Gnar generates Rage. At maximum Rage his next ability will transform him into Mega Gnar, granting increased survivability and access to new spells.
Arrr, what it doesEnglishGnar throws a boomerang that damages and slows enemies it hits before returning to him. If he catches the boomerang its cooldown is reduced. Mega Gnar instead throws a boulder that stops on the first unit hit, damaging and slowing everything nearby. It can then be picked up to reduce the cooldown.
Arrr, what it doesEnglishGnar's attacks and spells hype him up, dealing bonus damage and granting him Move Speed. Mega Gnar is too enraged to be hyper and instead can rear up on his hind legs and smash down on the area in front of him, stunning enemies in an area.
Arrr, what it doesEnglishGnar leaps to a location and bounces off the head of any unit he lands on, traveling further. Mega Gnar is too large to bounce and instead lands with earth-shattering force, dealing damage in an area around him.
Arrr, what it doesEnglishMega Gnar throws everything around him in a chosen direction, dealing damage and slowing them. Any enemy that hits a wall is stunned and takes bonus damage.
Adapt th' course
Judge th' whole course or sea chart state, nay only personal kills. Pick th' situation closest to th' present battle.
Deny space wit' yer course partner, but keep th' carry moored to th' wave instead o' roaming at every opportunity.
Move first aboard wit' an ally, establish vision and protect th' course yer crew will use to enter.
Set sail only when crewmates can follow, then change to peel if an foe reaches th' protected carry.
Hold th' trick that makes foes respect yer course and trade when both Bot-course partners be shipshape.
Recall and move on seaworthy wave timings; an unsupported roam can cost th' carry an entire wave or a dive.
Control one approach and keep enough protection fer th' foe's most likely engage.
Stay fer a crashing wave, block a dive and avoid spending th' key defensive trick on low-value poke.
Enter darkness wit' another sailor and ward th' nearest useful entrance instead o' reaching fer deep vision.
Peel first aboard and punish overextension. A blind engage rarely repairs a losing battle.
Pings, movement and prizes
Turn ship's intelligence into a shared decision. Move wit' an ally and preserve th' tool that makes th' next aboard fight seaworthy.
Pings create a shared course; they do nay replace checking waves, vision and who can move.
'Round a minute afore Dragon, ping th' course, spend doubloons if needed and make sure Bot and Mid know whether they can move.
Walk wit' th' Jungler or another ally. Sweep one course, place useful entrance vision and ne'er face-inspect alone.
Inspect nigh th' ship waves and foe positions. Hold th' spell that either starts a reachable fight or protects yer main damage dealer.
Keep enemies astern from th' seaworthy entrance, mark th' reachable threat and avoid chasing so far across th' waters that Dragon be left unprotected.
Later prizes: Use th' same pattern fer Rift Herald or Baron: communicate first aboard, move through controlled vision wit' an ally, then choose engage or peel afore th' fight begins.
