Read from Yasuo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Gragas.
This is Yasuo's own plan; across 729 pooled games the lane is leaning Yasuo.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yasuo | Level 1 is yours since Gragas has no early pressure and you can wall or dodge his Barrel Roll. |
| Level 2 | Yasuo | Level 2 goes to Gragas — Body Slam is 14s but his level-2 trade still out-damages yours. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is even: Wind Wall denies Barrel Roll, but his E-Q burst matches it. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yasuo | Levels 4-5 go to Gragas as Drunken Rage cuts damage every 5 seconds. |
| Level 6 | Yasuo | Level 6 favours Gragas — Explosive Cask hard-peels your dash and denies the knockup you need. |
| First item | Yasuo | At first item your crit and mobility win every extended trade against his cooldown-reliant kit. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | With 2+ items you out-duel him outright; only a flash-Cask disengage saves him. |
You control the first levels — Gragas's only pre-6 pressure is Barrel Roll (Q) poke, and Wind Wall deletes it outright, while his Body Slam (E) trade leaves him exposed on a long cooldown. Farm freely, deny his Q with the wall, and step onto him whenever E is down.
