| Level 3 | Volibear | Level 3-5 Q run-down, W sustain, and E zoning dominate his short cooldowns. |
| Levels 4-5 | Volibear | Your Level 3+ kit punishes every window his Body Slam escape is down. |

| First item | Volibear | First-item Sundered Sky sustain wins every extended melee trade. |
| Two+ items | Gragas | Late Gragas outscales the duel with Cask disruption and resetting Body Slam. |
Levels 1-2 lean your way — Gragas wants to charge Barrel Roll (Q) but your Passive stacks and empowered autos punish him the moment he steps up to last-hit in melee. He can't trade back without eating your W heal, so you push the early tempo.
