Gragas Matchups Overview

Gragas General information

Gragas tips and tricks

Gragas is an early game dominant laner. Try and trade as frequently as possible whenever the enemy walks forward to last hit.

Throw your Ultimate Explosive CaskR just behind the enemy to ensure they get knocked forward. Placing it on top of them may knock them in the wrong direction.

Staying off to the side while your team groups can allow you to flank the enemy and knock them into your teammates.
