Except for rare builds, Gnar deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Riven deals mainly physical damage (93.28%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Riven, ranking 10th (versus 16th for Gnar) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.8 versus 1.9) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Gnar player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Riven player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.
