Arrr, matchup notes
Track th' cooldown and range o' th' trick that starts their safest trade. Do nay treat this chart as a statistical counter claim.
Treat Vex as one part o' th' sea chart state. Their Jungler, nigh th' ship waves and which teammates can move determine whether th' same trade or rotation be seaworthy.

While 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.
Gnar 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.
Wait fer reload (s) 16/14.5/13/11.5/10 · Charted reach (units) 1100Gnar'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.
Wait fer reload (s) 7Gnar 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.
Wait fer reload (s) 22/19.5/17/14.5/12 · Charted reach (units) 475Mega 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.

Judge th' whole course or sea chart state, nay only personal kills. Pick th' situation closest to th' present battle.
Pressure farm wit' yer Support while keeping th' wave and river warded; two foes can still punish an isolated carry.
Move after th' wave be secured and attack th' prize from a position yer crew can defend.
Deal damage to th' closest seaworthy target and preserve th' shutdown. Th' lead matters only while ye remain alive.
Clash th' opposing carry's income and trade when both course partners can participate.
Finish th' wave afore rotating unless th' fight be immediate and clearly reachable.
Stand astern o' allied control and loadout damage on reachable targets afore stepping toward th' back aboard line.
Farm nigh tower or wit' nigh th' ship crewmates. Give up isolated minions instead o' offering another kill.
Avoid being first aboard into river and trade an unsafe prize fer income when th' crew cannae contest.
Wait fer foe cooldowns and attack whoever enters yer seaworthy range; survival creates more booty damage than a desperate flank.
Pings, movement and prizes
Protect income and coordinate wit' Support. Yer movement should follow th' wave, while yer pings make target choice and peril clear th' deck afore th' fight begins.
Pings create a shared course; they do nay replace checking waves, vision and who can move.
Finish seaworthy farm and communicate th' recall or move afore th' prize setup begins.
Walk wit' Support or another ally and choose th' side where foe engage cannae reach ye first aboard.
Keep an exit course and identify th' nearest target ye can damage without crossing foe control.
Continue useful damage without chasing astern from th' prize or donating a shutdown.
Later prizes: Repeat th' same process 'round later major prizes: handle nigh th' ship income, communicate th' course, enter through vision and agree on th' fight afore committing.
Arrr, keep preparing
Th' matchup chart be a pre-battle reference. It does nay predict th' result or alter its recommendation from changing live clash data.
