How to Beat Renekton as Gragas (Top)

While statistically Gragas is slightly stronger than Renekton in the top lane, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

The magic damage that Gragas deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Renekton deals mainly physical damage (77.84%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Gragas is higher farming statistics (ranked 32nd among role champions) (versus 49th for Renekton), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.9 versus 2.2) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Gragas Top versus Renekton Top matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Gragas player to maintain constant pressure on Renekton, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

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 Renekton

  • Pay close attention to Renekton's Fury gauge as that will usually signify when he is about to attack.
  • Keeping Renekton from being able to fight and gain Fury by continually harassing him will severely reduce the effectiveness of his abilities.
