Gnar (Snow Day Gnar)
RP Cost: 1350 RP
Release Date: December 10, 2014
Gnar, the adorable and ferocious yordle, has received a chilly makeover with his Snow Day Gnar skin. This winter-themed skin was released on December 10, 2014, and has since become a favorite among League of Legends players. With its unique design and playful animations, Snow Day Gnar brings a touch of frosty fun to the Rift.
Snow Day Gnar transforms our lovable prehistoric yordle into a snowball-throwing, snowman-building champion. Gnar himself is dressed in cozy winter attire, complete with a fluffy hat, scarf, and mittens. His boomerang has been replaced with a snow shovel, and his boulder toss ability now hurls a giant snowball at his enemies. Additionally, his ultimate ability, GNAR!, summons a massive snowball to knock back his foes.
The attention to detail in Snow Day Gnar is truly remarkable. As Gnar hops around the battlefield, he leaves behind a trail of snowy footprints. When he transforms into Mega Gnar, he becomes an enormous snow monster, complete with icicles hanging from his body. His abilities are accompanied by delightful sound effects, such as the crunch of snow under his feet and the satisfying thud of a snowball hitting its target.
Snow Day Gnar also features unique recall animations. When Gnar recalls, he builds a snowman and then playfully knocks it down before returning to the fountain. This adds an extra touch of whimsy to the skin and showcases Gnar's mischievous nature.
Now, let's delve into the story of Gnar himself. Gnar is a yordle who hails from the Freljord, a frozen and treacherous land in the world of Runeterra. He is a prehistoric creature known as a 'yordle in the jungle,' and his playful and curious nature often gets him into trouble.
Gnar's past in the game is closely tied to his lore. He was once trapped in True Ice, a powerful substance that preserved him for thousands of years. When he was finally freed, he found himself in a world vastly different from the one he knew. Gnar's abilities reflect his dual nature. In his normal form, he is a nimble and agile champion, capable of throwing his boomerang and catching it on its return. However, when his rage meter fills, he transforms into Mega Gnar, a hulking beast with devastating area-of-effect abilities.
In the game, Gnar is primarily played in the top lane as a ranged champion. His ability to harass opponents from a distance and escape with his hop ability makes him a formidable laner. Gnar's ultimate ability, GNAR!, can turn the tide of team fights by stunning multiple enemies and disrupting their positioning. However, Gnar's transformation is not without its drawbacks. Players must carefully manage his rage meter to ensure they transform at the right time and avoid becoming a liability to their team.
