How to win lane as Tryndamere against Gnar · 51.6% win rate over 907 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is an even lane-opener where neither of you commits so it reads as a skill farm. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays skill-based as Gnar pokes with Q but has no all-in to punish you. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is roughly even — you gain E threat but his ranged poke offsets it. |
| Levels 4-5 | Gnar | At levels 4-5 Gnar's stacked boomerang and Hyper autos out-poke you before your spike, favoring him. |
| Level 6 | Tryndamere | At level 6 mini Gnar has no escape, so your E plus R Undying Rage all-in favors you. |
| First item | Gnar | At first item Mega form's GNAR! stun and knockback plus Botrk let Gnar body you. |
| Two+ items | Gnar | With two-plus items Mega Gnar's CC and durability wall you off the fight, favoring him. |
Levels 1-2 are an even farm phase — Gnar's boomerang Q and ranged autos out-trade you, but neither of you has kill pressure, so soak minions and dodge his returning Q rather than forcing bad short trades.
