How to Beat Gnar as Urgot (Top)

While statistically Urgot is slightly stronger than Gnar in the top lane, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

Except for rare builds, Urgot deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Gnar deals mainly physical damage (79.45%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Urgot is higher farming statistics (ranked 20th among role champions) (versus 43rd for Gnar), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.9 versus 2.0) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Urgot Top versus Gnar Top matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Urgot player to maintain constant pressure on Gnar, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Urgot tips:

  • Pay attention to your individual leg's cooldowns, as they make for a signficiant portion of your damage
  • Land Corrosive Charge or Disdain to lock on to target's with Purge - a great way to trigger multiple legs in rapid succession.
  • Save Fear Beyond Death for opponents you know are already too weak to survive. It's especially good for picking off fleeing foes.

Playing Against Gnar

  • Gnar can't gain Rage for 15 seconds after he turns from big to little. Use this chance to engage on his team.
  • Gnar's animations and resource bar change as he gets closer to transforming.
  • Gnar's ultimate stuns if he hits you into a wall. Be careful when fighting him near one.
