The Gnar versus Volibear matchup in the top lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
Except for rare builds, Gnar deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Volibear has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.
An important advantage of Gnar is higher farming statistics (ranked 16th among role champions) (versus 35th for Volibear), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.6 versus 1.9) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Gnar player to maintain constant pressure on Volibear, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
