Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1GragasLevel 1 he out-sustains and out-pokes you — Barrel Roll (Q) chunks you, his HP bar is bigger, and his passive heals on every cast, so concede the stage and farm with W's outer edge.
Level 2CamilleHookshot (E) comes online — bait his Body Slam (E) and his Barrel Roll, then wall-dash stun and re-cast Q for the true damage while his disengage is down.
Level 3CamilleFull kit with W: you win the short trade with the true-damage second Q and heal max-HP damage off his big body — as long as Drunken Rage (W) isn't already up.
Levels 4-5Even / skillSkill phase — your Q burst out-trades him, but his Body Slam disengage and Drunken Rage damage reduction keep it from being clean, so it's a cooldown and DR read.
Level 6Even / skillEven ult window: your R traps him so he can't Body Slam out, but his Explosive Cask (R) can knock you out of your dash or cancel your leap — whoever lands it first wins.
First itemCamilleSheen/Trinity onto your Q reset is your power peak — force the all-in while his Cask is on cooldown and before he buys armor and HP.
Two+ itemsGragasHe out-scales the brawl: tanky-AP Gragas eats your burst with Drunken Rage and flips your dives with point-and-click Cask, so play the side lane and pick him off isolated.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Level 1 belongs to Gragas — his Barrel Roll (Q) out-pokes your single ability, his HP bar is bigger, and his passive Happy Hour heals him every time he casts, so don't trade into it; farm with the outer edge of W (Tactical Sweep) for the safe max-HP poke and the heal off his big body. Once you hit 2 you can flip it: Hookshot (E) gives you a wall-dash stun, and if you bait his Body Slam (E) first, you E in, re-cast Q for the true-damage second hit, and walk out on the move-speed before his disengage is back. The whole early game is a cooldown race between your E and his E — and his Q — so never commit yours while either is up.
