Favour timeline — the windows in Gragas's game plan

Read from Gragas's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Camille.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillPre-E, Camille has no engage and no Hookshot stun — step up at level 1 and chip her with a fermented Q while she can only auto back.
Level 2GragasShe spikes at 2 when she takes Hookshot — one E into a wall pins you for the second-cast stun before you can roll a barrel.
Level 3CamilleBy 3 her full kit out-trades you: Q (Precision Protocol) true-damage proc plus Tactical Sweep's heal-cone sustains through your poke while your long E cooldown leaves nothing to punish with.
Levels 4-5Even / skillLane control is genuinely even — W max and Happy Hour out-sustain her if and only if you trade with her Hookshot down and Drunken Rage up.
Level 6Even / skillAt 6 it's a coin flip you control: Hextech Ultimatum anchors the zone to you so Cask can't break it — eat the isolation with W damage reduction, then fling her away to deny the follow-up.
First itemCamilleHer Sheen/Stridebreaker spike lets her dash-Q-proc you down before your first item is online while Tactical Sweep heals back your trades — this is her cleanest kill window.
Two+ itemsGragasShe out-scales your tank build at two items — Tactical Sweep's heal plus true-damage Q wins the extended 1v1, so your value shifts to Cask peel in teamfights, not the solo duel.

How to beat Camille as Gragas: the early game

At level 1 you actually have the edge — Camille has no Hookshot yet, so step up and chip her with a fermented Q while she can only auto back. The moment she hits 2 it flips: her E can dash to a wall and pin you for the second-cast stun, and by 3 her Q (Precision Protocol) true-damage proc plus Tactical Sweep's outer-cone shred chunks through your beefy HP before you ever detonate a barrel. Don't facecheck into her dash range with your Body Slam on cooldown — your E is your only escape and she will bait it. Last-hit with Q from max range and wait for your W to come online.
