Who Wins
- You win early trades pre-6 through superior range and sustain, as Gragas lacks reliable gap closers to punish your Q poke.
- Post-6 you maintain advantage since your R gives you more sustained fighting power than his burst combo.
How to Trade
- You want to land Q1 or Q2 for poke then immediately back off, avoiding extended trades where he can land full E-W-Q combo.
- Only commit to longer trades when you have Q3 ready and he's already chunked from previous poke.
Wave Control
- You should slow push early waves to build minion advantage, then look for trades when the wave bounces back to you.
- Avoid hard shoving as this gives him free recall timings and removes your minion protection against his engage.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You must not waste your E defensively too early in trades, as you need it to reposition for Q sweetspots or escape his full combo.
- Getting hit by his E while your dash is down often results in taking his entire burst rotation.
