| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | By levels 4-5 your Q stacking and E survivability let you contest evenly, a skill window. |

| First item | Yone | Your first item gives you the burst to punish Mini Gnar windows and flip the lane. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Yone out-scales Gnar's Mega falloff and R-flanks his carries in every late fight. |
Mini Gnar wins the first three levels flat-out: Boomerang (Q) out-ranges your Mortal Steel, and Hyper-empowered autos chunk you every time you walk up to CS, so farm at range and don't trade into his passive stacks.
