Read from Warwick's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Gragas.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Warwick's level 1 sustain and charged Q beat Gragas's early poke. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is even as Gragas's Barrel Roll and empowered W poke come online. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is skill — Barrel Roll is 8s at rank 3 and Body Slam 13s; fight the gap. |
| Levels 4-5 | Gragas | Levels 4-5 are Gragas's — his Body Slam stun cancels your ult. |
| Level 6 | Gragas | Level 6 is Gragas's — Explosive Cask knocks you out of the Duress channel. |
| First item | Gragas | At first item your R kill threat still punishes squishy Gragas on Blood Hunt marks. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | With 2+ items it evens out — Jaws of the Beast scales off the health he stacks. |
Levels 1-2 favour you: Eternal Hunger sustain and a charged Jaws of the Beast beat Gragas's early Barrel Roll poke, and his mana pool drains fast if he tries to zone you, so contest the wave and heal back any chip.
