How to win lane as Camille against Gragas · 50% win rate over 284 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Gragas | Level 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 2 | Camille | Hookshot (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 3 | Camille | Full 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 4-5 | Even / skill | Skill 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 6 | Even / skill | Even 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 item | Camille | Sheen/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+ items | Gragas | He 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. |
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.
