How to win lane as Yasuo against Gragas · 52.4% win rate over 729 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| 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 stays Yasuo — his Body Slam trade leaves him on cooldown for you to punish. |
| Level 3 | Yasuo | Level 3 goes to you as Wind Wall fully denies his primary Q poke pattern. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yasuo | Levels 4-5 remain yours with Sweeping Blade weaving onto him after every E. |
| Level 6 | Yasuo | Level 6 is Yasuo's because your Last Breath punishes his gap-close before his ult matters in a duel. |
| 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.
