Guide to Synergizing Gnar and Lissandra

Tips for Playing as Gnar with Lissandra

Position yourself next to walls to bait your enemies into getting stunned by your ultimate.

Know your strengths! Mini Gnar is fast, squishy, and has high sustained damage. Mega Gnar is slow, tough, and has high burst.

Managing your Rage is very important. Try to time out your transformations so you can get maximum benefit from both forms.

Advice to Understand How Lissandra Will Play

Lissandra's abilities are shorter range than those of many mages. As a result, buying items that offer both ability power and defense, like Zhonya's Hourglass and Banshee's Veil, can be a great choice to help her both survive and deal damage.

Casting Glacial Path and then running in the opposite direction will leave your enemies uncertain which way you will actually go.

You can instantly use your ultimate on yourself by pressing the self cast key and the ultimate key at once (alt+R by default).
