Tips for Playing as Nasus with Gnar
Paying attention to last hitting with Siphoning Strike will have a large impact at the end of a game.
If you're solo, Spirit Fire is a great way to farm a lane. It can be bad if you're in a lane with 2 and you push too far. Find the right balance between Siphoning Strike last hits and AoE farming.
If you have low defenses, people will focus you down even during your ultimate. Try buying some survivability items even in your DPS builds.
Advice to Understand How Gnar Will Play
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.

Gnar has a greater difficulty than Nasus. That means you should be careful when lining up Gnar allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to play well with you.
Fighting alongside, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. When paired, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
In contrast, by bringing Nasus and Gnar together, you may not be providing your other allies very much utility. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that fills this relative hole in their abilities.
Regardless of your Gnar ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
