Who Wins
- You win most pre-6 trades due to your Q engage and W sustain, especially at level 2 when you can Q-W combo.
- Post-6 the matchup becomes more even as Gragas gains significant burst and disengage with R, making extended fights riskier for you.
How to Trade
- Look for short trades using Q to gap close, auto-W for healing, then disengage before Gragas can land full combo.
- Avoid extended trades where Gragas can kite you with E and multiple Q procs.
Wave Control
- Push early levels to establish priority and deny Gragas farm, but be ready to freeze when ahead since you excel in the long lane.
- Avoid slow pushing into Gragas as his Q waveclear becomes oppressive and he can set up ganks with E-R.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't chase Gragas through his Q barrels or into unwarded areas where he can E-R you into his team.
- Avoid trading when your W is on cooldown as you lose your main sustain and damage tool.
