Read from Pantheon's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Gragas.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | Shield Vault's 600-range leap-stun makes you one of the strongest level 1s; Gragas is squishy with no answer to it yet. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Roughly even at 2 — your W+Q all-in is strong, but his Q pool sustain heals the trade back, so don't overcommit into his W reduction. |
| Level 3 | Pantheon | With all three basics you bait Body Slam's 14s, W-stun in and empowered-Q burst before Happy Hour heals it — your premier kill window. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Even through 4-5: your empowered-Q poke trades with his Q pool sustain as he stabilizes, neither side clearly owning it. |
| Level 6 | Gragas | His R knockback flips the fight — he ults you off your wave or under tower while your R only roams, so he edges level 6. |
| First item | Gragas | His first AP item plus Q sustain out-brawls your front-loaded combo, and his W reduction eats your burst. |
| Two+ items | Gragas | He hard out-scales you: Rylai/Cosmic Drive Gragas kites your dashes with E-R while your damage plateaus — close it before this. |
Gragas is squishy pre-6, so the first three levels are yours. Shield Vault leaps 600 with a stun he cannot dodge, and at 2 the W+Q burst lands before Happy Hour can heal it back — it ticks on every skill he casts, so chip alone gets you nothing. Never channel Aegis Assault into Body Slam: its stun cancels the channel. Bait that 14s, and bait Drunken Rage's damage cut on 5s, then commit.
