Gragas Mid Lane Matchups

Gragas lore:

Equal parts jolly and imposing, Gragas is a massive, rowdy brewmaster who's always on the lookout for new ways to raise everyone's spirits. Hailing from parts unknown, he searches for ingredients among the unblemished wastes of the Freljord to help him perfect his latest concoction. He is impulsive, headstrong, and renowned for the brawls he starts, which often end in all-night parties and widespread property damage. Any appearance from Gragas must surely foreshadow merriment and destruction—in that order.

Gragas tips:

  • The damage reduction from Drunken Rage is applied when you start drinking, try to use it when you see damage coming your way.
  • Try to knock enemies back into your towers with Explosive Cask.
  • Try to combo Body Slam with Explosive Cask to set up kills for your team.

Playing Against Gragas

  • Gragas can knock everybody away with his ultimate. Be careful that you don't get knocked into him or, worse, an enemy tower.
  • Body Slam is on a very low cooldown, making it difficult to pursue Gragas. Don't overextend yourself chasing him.
