How to win lane as Teemo against Gragas · 51.61% win rate over 403 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Gragas | Gragas's level 1 passive barrel stacks and AP base damage exceed your bare auto-poison before Toxic Shot ramps — stay at max auto range and don't fight for level-1 poke dominance. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Body Slam is online but Blinding Shot cancels his auto reply after the dash — neither of you has a clean kill window, so small poke trades split the advantage. |
| Level 3 | Gragas | His full AP kit is live at level 3 and Body Slam at this rank deals enough burst to trade through a single blind — he holds the commit advantage if you misposition, which tips this stage his way. |
| Levels 4-5 | Teemo | Q fully ranked means every Gragas auto attempt after Body Slam is a wasted trade — blind him the moment he commits and walk the DoT stack out of dash range. |
| Level 6 | Teemo | Shrooms on both river entries and tribush make every Body Slam commit potentially lethal for him — your first-use Noxious Trap placement turns his preferred engage path into a minefield. |
| First item | Teemo | Nashor's Tooth on-hit venom stacks every blinded Gragas auto window — your damage finally exceeds his W damage-reduction and you can dictate every short trade in this window. |
| Two+ items | Gragas | Full AP Gragas out-sustains your DoT with Q barrel healing and can Explosive Cask you into his team for a one-shot — shift to shroom-warded splitpush rather than looking for solo kills. |
Gragas owns level 1 cleanly — his drunk passive gives him bonus HP from barrels, his AP base damage is ahead of your bare poison at level 1, and he can Body Slam forward if you stand too close to last-hit. Keep auto-attack range, don't step past the minion line, and accept that this is a farm-and-identify minute, not a poke minute. At level 2 it genuinely splits: Blinding Shot erases his auto-trade reply after Body Slam, but his Q puddle heals back more than your level-2 poison deals if he stands in it. Bait him to walk into your range without barreling, blind the instant he commits, and walk the poison out — never let him get a clean E-in-then-auto-while-blinded pattern because his AP damage is already live.
