Survive and scale: Gragas faces both matchup (43.81%) and farming disadvantages (5.97 vs 6.65/min). With a 0.68 CS/min deficit, prioritize safe farming and jungle assistance. Damage doesn't equal wins: Gragas outputs more damage (663 vs 624/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup.

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.
The magic damage that Gragas deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Kayn deals mainly physical damage (88.55%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Kayn, ranking 15th (versus 30th for Gragas) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.3 versus 2.8) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Gragas player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Kayn player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.
