Guide to Synergizing Gnar and Lucian

Tips for Playing as Gnar with Lucian

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.

Managing your Rage is very important. Try to time out your transformations so you can get maximum benefit from both forms.

Advice to Understand How Lucian Will Play

For optimal burst, try to combine Relentless Pursuit into Piercing Light.

Ardent Blaze actually explodes in a star pattern. Try to line it up so the spokes hit enemy champions.

Because of Lightslinger, Lucian benefits more from Attack Damage than he does from Attack Speed.

Once you have chosen an angle for The Culling, you cannot change it. Pick your moment well!

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Lucian.

Is Gnar better when played alongside Lucian?

There is no ideal synergy for Gnar that will always be his best teammate. However, overall, Lucian is a not very good teammate for Gnar. By being on the same side as Gnar, he drops their win rate by -1.3% to 46.7%. This clearly indicates that there is a negative bond between Gnar and Lucian that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Lucian has a lower difficulty than Gnar. That means you don't need to be careful when arranging Lucian comrades to play with, as they will need a lower level of skill to be able to do well with you.

When playing cooperatively, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. Together, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Conversely, by bringing Gnar and Lucian together, you will not be giving your other teammates a lot of utility. Make sure to have other champs on your team that fills this relative hole in their capabilities.

Regardless of the ability of your Lucian ally, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
