|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Gragas | Level 1 is Gragas — Barrel Roll (Q) out-ranges you and starts the chip war. |

| Level 3 | Gragas | Level 3 stays Gragas with full poke-and-heal pressure on the wave. |
| Levels 4-5 | Gragas | Levels 4-5 favour Gragas — his sustain undoes your P damage. |
| Level 6 | Gragas | Level 6 is Gragas because Cask (R) knocks you out of your execute range. |
| First item | Gragas | First item keeps Gragas ahead as his durability blunts your burst spike. |
| Two+ items | Gragas | 2+ items is Gragas — he out-scales as a tanky mage you can't cleanly execute. |
Gragas owns levels 1-2: his Barrel Roll (Q) out-ranges everything you have and Happy Hour (W) refunds the trade damage your P chips in. Don't walk up to last-hit into a charged Q, and never contest melee range while his Body Slam (E) is up.
