| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is an even farm phase with neither champion able to force a trade. |
| Level 2 | Wukong | At level 2 your E-Q gap-close burst out-trades Gragas before he has escapes. |
| Level 3 | Wukong | Level 3 still favours you as his Body Slam and shield can't yet answer your all-in. |
| Levels 4-5 | Gragas | At levels 4-5 Drunken Rage's shield lets Gragas tank your burst and win extended trades. |
| Level 6 | Gragas | Level 6 Explosive Cask gives Gragas a peel-and-pick knockback that flips the all-in. |
| First item | Gragas | Into first item his Drunken Rage sustain and barrel poke keep him ahead. |
| Two+ items | Wukong | With two items your R dive onto carries outscales Gragas's single-Cask disengage. |
Level 1 is even as both of you just farm, but from level 2 onward Wukong takes over: your E Nimbus Strike gap-close into Q Crushing Blow out-trades Gragas before he has enough Body Slam (E) escapes or Drunken Rage (W) sustain to answer.
