How it works
You play as burst oriented Mage.
You build AP items.
You rush Stormsurge.
This build is optimized for max damage with Hyper (W) in Mini Gnar form.
How to play
Playing AP Gnar build, your default rush is Stormsurge.
Adapt to an enemy team. Are they full of tanks, and they rush tons of Magic Resist? You rush Void Staff as #2 or #3 item to counter MR stacking. Their team has champs with lots of healing? Rush Oblivion Orb as #2 item (upgrade to Morellonomicon as 4th or 5th item).
Somebody is going after you each fight? Always getting ulted by enemy assassins? Rush Zhonya's Hourglass.
Good second rush is Nashor's Tooth and Lich Bane.
Combo: wait for Hail of Blades + Mini Gnar = burst enemy (+ Stormsurge + Lich Bane + Nashor's Tooth).
Tips and Tricks
Riot
Managing your Rage is very important. Try to time out your transformations so you can get maximum benefit from both forms.
Position yourself next to walls to bait your enemies into getting stunned by your ultimate.
Know your strengths! Mini Gnar is fast, squishy, and has high sustained damage. Mega Gnar is slow, tough, and has high burst.
