How to beat Gragas

Common role: Jungle

A drunken brawler who body-slams in and explodes your team apart with a barrel ult.

What makes Gragas dangerous

Gragas throws a damaging AoE barrel (Q), body-slams in with a knock-up (E), and his ultimate is an explosion that knocks enemies away — disrupting engages or peeling your carry into his team. He's a durable initiator with a shield and strong burst, controlling fights with displacement.

How to play against Gragas

• 1Dodge his E body-slam — it's a charged dash that knocks you up. Sidestep it and his engage combo has no lockdown.
• 2Respect his ult knockback — it can peel your carry away or scatter your engage. Position so it can't knock you into his team.
• 3Dodge his Q barrel — it's his poke and burst. Don't stand in the AoE, especially when it's fully fermented (bigger).
• 4His E shields him on impact — don't dump burst right as he slams in. Trade when his engage is on cooldown.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓E body-slam and Q barrel are dodgeable skillshots.
• ✓Ult knockback can be positioned around.
• ✓Mana-hungry early.
• ✓Kiteable outside his E engage.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Gragas's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  서비스 시간

  그라가스가 스킬을 사용하면 주기적으로 체력을 회복합니다.

• Q
  술통 굴리기

  그라가스가 술통을 굴려 폭발시킵니다. 술통은 4초 뒤 자동으로 폭발하며 스킬을 다시 사용하여 직접 폭발시킬 수도 있습니다. 술통이 오래 남아 있을수록 위력이 증가하며, 폭발에 맞은 적은 둔화됩니다.

• W
  취중 분노

  그라가스가 1초 동안 가장 최근에 주조한 술을 맛봅니다. 술을 맛본 그라가스는 요란하고 난폭해져 받는 피해가 줄어들고 다음번 기본 공격 시 근처의 모든 대상에게 추가 마법 피해를 입힙니다.

• E
  몸통 박치기

  그라가스가 지정한 위치로 몸을 날려 가장 먼저 부딪히는 적과 그 주변의 다른 적 유닛에게 피해를 주며 기절시킵니다.

  술통 폭발
