Level 2CamilleYour second Q point unlocks the E-in plus the true-damage recast — you finally close the gap mini-Gnar's kite relied on.
Level 3CamilleWith W Tactical Sweep's max-HP outer edge and the Q double-hit you win every short trade mini-Gnar can't hop away from.
Levels 4-5CamilleYour W self-heal out-sustains his boomerang poke and E keeps him pinned — you control the trade cadence through this window.
Level 6CamilleHextech Ultimatum's arena traps mini-Gnar so he can't hop or dash out, and your W heal wins the isolated 1v1 before he transforms.
First itemCamilleYour bruiser first-item spike plus the E-W-Q combo outpaces a mini-Gnar still building his rage bar — keep forcing the all-in.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Level 1 belongs to Gnar — his boomerang (Q) and hop-autos out-range your single point of Precision Protocol, so don't walk up to throw a Q he just side-steps. Take the chip and last-hit. The moment you hit Level 2-3 the lane flips: with the second Q point (the true-damage recast) plus a point in W Tactical Sweep and E, you can E-in, land W's outer edge for the max-HP slow, and connect the second Q hit before he can hop back. Your Adaptive Defense passive shields his first hop-auto as you close, so bait his boomerang toss, then commit — his poke can't out-sustain your W heal.
