Camille vs Gnar

Updated Jun 2, 2026

Overview

Camille aims to control the side lane by leveraging terrain for engages and punishing Gnar's mini form cooldowns.
Manage medium early agency to avoid giving Gnar a passive lane and prepare for scaling into side-lane picks.
This is a control vs control matchup where Camille must pressure around her item spikes and avoid extended fights before scaling.

Trading pattern

Use passive shield and time second (Q) for short trades, disengaging before Gnar can retaliate.
Punish Gnar when his (E) is down by stepping forward for trades or wave pressure.
Avoid using (E) unless you have a confirmed angle to prevent being counter-engaged or punished.

Danger windows

Respect Gnar's mega form duration and avoid extended trades when his (R) and (W) stuns are available near terrain.
Be cautious after missing (E) as your engage and escape options are limited.
Avoid fights when Gnar's rage is near mega form to prevent getting locked down by his hard CC.

Early game

Focus on short trades using second (Q) and avoid extended early fights before your item spike.
Use terrain angles to threaten (E) engages only when safe and avoid wasting it on risky attempts.
Keep wave near terrain to maximize (E) threat and prepare for level 6 all-ins with (R).

Power spikes

First sheen-style item: second (Q) true damage becomes reliable, enabling sharper short trades and side-lane pressure.
Level 6: (R) locks down a target and dodges key spells, making all-ins much stronger.
Respect Gnar's level 6 mega form with (R) and his wall stun angles; back off before he transforms or fight after it expires.

Win conditions

Use controlled short trades around second (Q) timing to deny Gnar scaling and build item spikes.
After level 6, look for side-lane picks by isolating targets with (E) plus (R) lockdown.
Leverage terrain to maximize (E) threat and disengage safely before Gnar can counter-engage or use mega form CC.
