Read from Fiora's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Gnar.
This is Fiora's own plan; across 482 pooled games the lane is leaning Gnar.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Fiora | Mini-Gnar has no stun and only a hop — your Q-Vital poke and the threat of Riposte win every short level-1 trade while his Rage bar is empty. |
| Level 2 | Fiora | Your Q lands a Vital and refreshes for a chained Lunge before he has the Rage to transform — he can only kite with Boomerang, not punish. |
| Level 3 | Fiora | Q into E Bladework gives you a guaranteed-crit Vital combo that mini-Gnar's boomerang poke can't out-damage or escape. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | It's a Rage-bar coin flip: your chained Lunges run him over on an empty bar, but a full bar lets mega Wallop flip the same trade. |
| Level 6 | Fiora | Grand Challenge marks all four Vitals and the heal field clinches any all-in that stun-less mini-Gnar can't answer. |
| First item | Even / skill | Your bruiser-crit spike still beats mini-Gnar, but his Rage timer and boomerang range start to dictate when you're allowed to commit. |
| Two+ items | Gnar | Mega-Gnar's Wallop and GNAR! wall-stun out-chain your single Riposte and his boomerang kites your dashes once he has items — he reclaims this window unless you've already snowballed. |
Gnar in mini form has no stun and only a hop to escape, so Levels 1-3 are yours: walk him down, Q to a Vital, and pop E Bladework for the guaranteed-crit second strike before he builds enough Rage to transform. The one rule is to watch his Rage bar like a hawk. If it's near full, every trade risks him flipping mid-fight into Wallop's stun, so trade hard while the bar is low and disengage the second it climbs. His Boomerang (Q) poke is the only thing that out-ranges you here, so close the gap fast and don't let him chip you for free.
