Utilizing your transformation hop for ganks whenever possible allows for strong burst from your Mega Gnar form and easy follow up for securing early kills. Ensuring you gank with a transformation most often involves leaving a small neutral camp unfinished, however entering the fight at 96-99% on your Rage gene allows you to get deep into the middle of lane very quickly and a quick follow up from team mates will almost always result in forcing enemies out of lane or even a kill.

Ancient golem grants % health increase allowing you mega Gnar form to get more increased health increasing your tankiness for relatively little cost. After finishing your core items pick 1 item out of any 2 of the categories that follow for a well balanced build that suits your needs. Both trinkets and boots are situational but Mercury treads and ninja tabi work best due to increased tankiness, Furor boots are my prefered because they stack with Hyper and phage passive.

Grabbing hyper first allows faster clear of your first camp, grab Bounce second for a strong gank, if a gank is not possible a rank in boomerang toss will be preferred.
