Read from Gragas's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yone.
This is Gragas's own plan; across 1,693 pooled games the lane is leaning Yone.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | You're a one-ability level 1 with no Happy Hour and he has Q-dash poke; neither of you wins cleanly, so just farm and set up level 2. |
| Level 2 | Gragas | Q+W gives you the cask slow and a Drunken Rage empowered auto that out-trades his Q before he has W to shield and cleave back. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | His E rewind and Q-dash let him reset trades, and without your full combo maxed you can't reliably punish the over-extend yet, so it stays a coin-flip. |
| Levels 4-5 | Gragas | W max and Happy Hour let you out-sustain his W cleave and win the extended trade through Drunken Rage's damage reduction. |
| Level 6 | Gragas | E-W-Q plus Explosive Cask is a real all-in: your Body Slam stun pins him and R behind him denies the Soul Unbound he'd escape with. |
| First item | Even / skill | The 6 kill window is the one moment you flip the lane, but if he holds E or dodges your Body Slam the all-in fizzles and resets to even, so it's not a free spike. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Two crit items plus his Q knockup and E-rewind reset kite your single telegraphed Body Slam and shred your HP; swap to peeling with cask, don't duel him. |
Early this is a real fight, not a free lane, and the 50.7% mirrors that. At level 1 you're a single ability with no Happy Hour yet, so don't contest his Q-dash poke. Level 2 is your first window: take Q+W, slow him with the cask and land the Drunken Rage empowered auto for a trade his early Q can't match before he has W to shield and cleave back. The key all lane is his E, Soul Unbound, down 22s at rank 1, which forces him back to where he cast it — commit before that's spent and he just deletes the trade. Save Body Slam as the pin, not the engage.
