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.
