Read from Lillia's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Gragas.
This is Lillia's own plan; across 293 pooled games the lane is leaning Lillia.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 you both lack a combo — last-hit from Q range and don't feed his E body-slam, just set the lane up. |
| Level 2 | Gragas | Gragas's E body-slam into Q pool is the one window he catches you — at level 2 he can dash, slow, and chunk before your move speed stacks. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | You're even here: your Q sweetspot and Dream Dust start chipping, but 850-range Barrel Roll trades back if you misposition. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lillia | Full Q rank plus the compounding burn means he must walk into your sweetspot, and Happy Hour's per-cast heal can't out-pace the DoT. |
| Level 6 | Gragas | Explosive Cask (100s at rank 1) is real anti-kite — the knockback breaks your chase or sets a gank, so he edges 6. |
| First item | Gragas | His first-item brawl with W damage reduction lets him tank your burst and trade back in melee — he holds this window. |
| Two+ items | Lillia | Your Liandry's/Riftmaker DoT does percent-HP and your mobility wins every skirmish — unlike a scaler, he never reclaims it, so roam and close. |
Level 1 you are weak — one ability, no kite chain — so farm with the edge of your Q and stay outside Body Slam's 600 units. Gragas owns level 2-3 if he lands Body Slam into Barrel Roll: the charge stuns, the cask slows, and it chunks you before your move speed stacks. Body Slam is 14 seconds at rank 1 — dodge it and the window is yours. Once you have rank 2-3 Q plus the Swirlseed slow the burn starts and he has to walk at you, every step costing HP.
